I get it.
In some Connecticut divorces, emotions flare. So naturally, it’s time to fan those flames and dial up the “bulldog” lawyer.
The kind that won’t take bull$h!t from your spouse and their lawyer.
The kind that will be “aggressive” and nail your soon to be ex.
The kind that will take the case to trial and won’t be intmidated by considering their f’in insulting settlement offer.
You want your pound of flesh (and the blood that goes with it).
Hey – that’s your call. Just be prepared to pay much more coin than you need to.
And if ever the “sticker shock” wears off, I trust you will have serious reservations. You might even realize that your result was no better (and maybe worse) than a more settlement focused approach could have yielded
Here’s a great blog on an aggressive divorce lawyer:
If you want an expensive divorce – get an aggressive lawyer « Bluegrass Family Law
To be sure, there are contested divorce cases that legitimately need to proceed to trial. But the vast majority should settle.
Think settle first and trial as a last resort. That’s the mindset.
You aren’t soft for doing so.
