A recently dicorced woman talk to her theraphist. Why You Need a Therapist During a Divorce

Don't make these mistakes. Save yourself money, time and stress.

If you implement these strategies, you will effectively reduce your legal fee costs during your case. Our goal is to allow people to take charge of their expenses and make informed decisions that can lead to significant savings.

Here are some ways to lower court costs during a divorce or probate case:

 

  1. It is advisable to write out your questions and concerns and email them to the office or lawyer instead of calling directly. This will enable attorneys to respond quickly and reduce billing time for your case.
  2. Please ensure that you send the documentation promptly, and use either PDF or JPEG format. Sending screenshots, or photos of documents may not be legible and or print properly.
  3. Inform your lawyer of all previous orders, court dates, and filings.
  4. Review the documents lawyers send you and respond with any questions or concerns shortly after receiving them. 
  5. Use the firms preferred communication system to send documents, ensuring they are loaded directly into your file within the system.
  6. Allow 24 to 48 hours for your lawyer to respond to your inquiries. They may have court, other cases and clients they are working with.
  7. Emergency services to clients can come with additional fees. Consider additional costs related to emergency services prior to making these requests. Emergency services will be billed separately and most often will be higher than general hourly rates.
  8. Always be open and honest with your legal team regarding your case. Not communicating factual information or being transparent will incur additional billed time as lawyers try to uncover all facts and adjust strategies.

Park Gold Groups goal is to provide our clients with clear, concise information and strategies. By doing this, we empower our clients with knowledge and peace of mind.
