Your First Meeting With A Collaborative And Cooperative Divorce Lawyer

Sitting down for your first meeting with a divorce attorney can seem intimidating. However, at Sheldon E. Finman, P.A., we strive to put you at ease immediately. We care deeply about treating each client with dignity, respect and discretion during such a challenging time. Located in Fort Myers, our firm has been dedicated to fostering a calm and supportive environment since 1977.
 
Our approach to collaborative divorce and cooperative divorce is different. We listen, empathize and guide you through the process with care. Here is what you can expect during your first consultation with us.

What To Expect During Your Initial Consultation

Your first meeting with us is an opportunity to share your story. Please bring any relevant documents, such as financial records or prenuptial agreements. Here is what to anticipate:
  • Personal discussion: We will talk about your specific circumstances, goals and concerns.
  • Clear explanations: Our lawyers will explain your rights, responsibilities and options in plain English.
  • Timeline and steps: We will outline what to expect in terms of timing and the next steps in the process.
  • Discussion of costs: We will discuss our fee structure transparently so you understand the potential cost.
Our goal is to empower you with knowledge and guidance, not to add to your stress. We’ll take the time to answer your questions and address your concerns so you can leave our office feeling more confident and in control.

Exploring The Right Divorce Method For You

During your first consultation, we will explain the different methods of divorce. We prioritize collaborative and cooperative divorce approaches, which emphasize mutual respect and open communication. Our family law attorneys will help you understand the benefits and drawbacks of each approach so you can make an informed decision about how to move forward.
