Why do I tell my clients trial should be the last option?
When you settle, you stay in control. You negotiate what matters most to you, compromise where you care less, and land on an agreement that actually works for your family.
At trial, you hand that control to someone who only hears a few hours or a few days of your story.
Sometimes trial is absolutely necessary. But if a reasonable agreement is within reach, that’s usually the better place to be.
