Who Needs a Lawyer When You Have the Internet?
The internet is not your friend when it comes to representing yourself in a lawsuit, which is exactly what a divorce is, even amicable ones. If you wouldn't research "how to do my own heart bypass" and then proceed to do your own surgery, you shouldn't try to google your way through the court system either.
It’s So Much Cheaper
We've all seen the road signs advertising a "$299 divorce" but what isn't disclosed is the additional filing fees, mediation costs, and other court court costs. Plus the future cost to go back and rectify what those "DIY" firms got wrong the first time around. Just like mom always said "you get what you pay for."
It’s So Much Faster
How much time are you willing to spend online researching how to fill out the forms you'll be required to submit or waiting in line at the Clerk's office to file paperwork? It could take you hours to accomplish what a knowledgeable attorney can in a matter of minutes. Why waste your valuable time when it could be spent elsewhere.
Lawyers Just Cause More Trouble
Having a good lawyer on your side can help make the process smoother and even know of specific rules/laws that benefit you and preserve your rights both now and in the future.
