Lawyers can sometimes stand in the way of clients agreeing.
Curtis has a different approach. He incorporates advocacy and listening skills into communications with opposing parties to help them see his client’s point of view.

Communication between you and your lawyer is vital to your case. Before each meeting organize your thoughts and paperwork. During your meeting be an active listener. Write down important details from your lawyer and questions you may have as the meeting proceeds. Curtis recognizes your goals and questions are important to both of you. He values working with you as a team.

You're meeting your divorce lawyer for the first time and your uncomfortable and even embarrassed. Lawyers need to know everything to understand and best represent you. Curtis understands this plus he is bound by confidentiality. He also knows without all the information; he can't ask the right questions. Together you work as a team.

Thinking about all the documentation needed for your divorce can be daunting. Your checklist doesn't need to be completed the first time you meet your lawyer. Start with Income/tax, real estate, credit/debit documents and bank accounts. Also bring any pre/post nuptials and separation agreements. Begin with a few documents and stay organized. It will be easier, and Curtis will guide you the rest of the way.
