Caring Family Lawyer

In family cases, often one side or both want the issue of fault litigated. It has been our experience at Donald A Denton, that unless the fault is truly egregious to the average member of the public, more time, money in attorney fees, deposition costs, and emotion is spent than is ever realized by the party who pushes the issue of fault. We urge clients be flexible and open-minded. Think of what is best for your family, but do not give up anything that is rightfully yours. Again, we have seen settlement offers refused, followed by protracted litigation and then the case eventually settled or decided by the judge in a manner that would place the parties back in the positions that were offered months before. But now the attorneys will walk off with a good portion of each party’s funds.
