Imagine this:
You’ve spent years preparing for trial, invested tens of thousands of dollars, and endured endless stress getting your case ready. Finally, the big day arrives. You walk into the courtroom only to discover that your assigned trial judge is someone who openly loathes family law cases.
Does this Really Happen?
Unfortunately, yes.
Why Does This Happen?
- Judges don’t choose their cases. They rotate through different areas of law such as criminal, civil, commercial, and family.
- Some judges prefer other areas and find family law emotionally draining or frustrating.
- If your judge dislikes family law, they may rush through the case or show little patience for complex family issues.
The Consequences
- Less Attention to Detail: Your years of preparation may not get the careful consideration you expected.
- Unpredictable Outcomes: A judge who dislikes family law may be less engaged, leading to decisions that feel rushed or unfair.
- No Control: You can’t request a different judge. You’re stuck with whoever is assigned.
Your Better Option: Arbitration
With arbitration, you choose your decision-maker – someone who:
- Specializes in family law.
- Understands the nuances and complexities of your case.
- Is committed to giving your matter the time and attention it deserves.
Kelly brings:
- Advanced legal training.
- Extensive family law and family law trial experience.
- A practical, fair approach focused on solutions.
Don’t gamble your future on a random judge who may not want your case. Choose arbitration and take control of the process.
