How to select an attorney?
A good lawyer will keep a client informed. Ask every lawyer you are interviewing how he/she does that. Does the lawyer send copies of all correspondence and court documents to the client? Does the lawyer make periodic reports to the client? You should insist on remaining fully informed. If you are not well informed, you cannot make good decisions about your case.

Power Family Law, PLLC makes it a priority to keep our clients involved in the decision making process. We submit detailed monthly reports to our clients and immediately inform them of developments in their case.

Client Testimonials
"I can't express to you enough how much I appreciate you and everything you have done for me and my children. The day we retained you, I felt a huge burden had lifted from my shoulders and I slept for the fist time in a long while that night. I thank God every day for having you as my attorney. I don't know what made you decide to fight for people like me and my kids, but I am so glad that you are. You guys ROCK!!!"    - Former Client
What should I look for in a family attorney?
People who would not dream of performing surgery on themselves will attempt to handle their own legal matters. Understandably, this can be personally and financially disastrous for the families involved. A legal practice requires an understanding of the law, continuing education of changing laws, and also experience with the procedural requirements of our local courts. When our attorneys meet with potential clients, the attorney balances legal knowledge with the potential client's unique personal situation to predict a realistic legal result. Your attorney will be your advocate, but will not waste your time and money pursuing unrealistic goals.
Can I afford an attorney?
Only you can answer that question. Only you can balance the attorney costs with the effects of an unfavorable outcome.
