Mediation and Divorce

Mediation is a great alternative to a contested divorce or any post-divorce modifications. After you and your spouse have come to an agreement about the terms of your divorce with a mediator, you should review the agreement with another attorney to make sure that you understand all of the terms.

If you went through a mediation in the past and did not have an attorney review the terms of your agreement outside of the mediation, you should consider reviewing the agreement with an attorney. You or your spouse may not have understood a particular term in the agreement, and you may be missing out on what is rightfully yours.

The Importance of Communication

Many people complain that their attorney never returns their phone calls. Attorney client communication is the most important thing that needs to occur during a divorce or criminal defense matter.

Cases are resolved so much more efficiently if the client is in constant communication with the attorney. At the law firm of S. De Oliveira Law, you will get your telephone call returned within 24 hours. We also ask that when our law firm calls you, that you also return the phone call quickly. Frequently we will need a piece of information that only our client has, and we need it quickly. Your case will run much more smoothly and efficiently if you are in communication with your attorney.
