Consultation services generally fall into three categories:
• Persons seeking legal advice about various family law issues
may meet privately with Ms. Fox or Ms. Bank to discuss their
questions in confidence to gain a better understanding of
how the law may impact their situation. Ms. Fox and Ms. Bank
are often consulted to render a “second-opinion” in
a family law matter.
• Parties proceeding through family law mediation may retain
Ms. Fox or Ms. Bank to serve as his/her independent consulting
attorney to provide legal advice and guidance during the mediation
process and to review proposed agreements; and,
• Parties choosing to represent themselves in their family
law litigation may retain Ms. Fox or Ms. Bank to consult with
on an as-needed basis.
When Ms. Fox and Ms. Bank are retained to provide consultation
services, the consultation is confidential, but Ms. Fox and
Ms. Bank are not retained as the representing attorney in the
matter and do not become the attorney of record. The party
decides how often to contact the attorneys and on what issues
he/she wishes to consult. Ms. Fox and Ms. Bank do not handle
or direct the litigation.
