Consultation services generally fall into three categories:
• Persons seeking legal advice about various family law issues
may meet privately with an attorney at Fox & Bank to discuss their
questions in confidence to gain a better understanding of
how the law may impact their situation. Fox & Bank attorneys
are often consulted to render a “second-opinion” in
a family law matter.
• Parties proceeding through family law mediation may retain
an attorney at Fox & 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 an attorney at Fox & Bank to consult with
on an as-needed basis.
When we are retained to provide consultation
services, the consultation is confidential, but we are not retained as the representing attorney in the
matter and we 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. The attorneys do not handle
or direct the litigation.
