One of the many factors you should consider when consulting with different lawyers is the lawyer’s reputation. If your lawyer has a poor reputation with other lawyers and judges in your community, that reputation will make it much more difficult for you to achieve your goals. Here are two real-life examples that our skilled San Diego divorce lawyers experienced.
First Example
A client, we’ll call her Helena, hired us after her divorce was finalized. Through the course of her divorce, Helena had a lawyer that she felt was not a very good lawyer. Helena’s lawyer did a poor job making strong and persuasive arguments in court in front of the judge. The judge, on several occasions, had made statements in front of the entire courtroom that indicated that he didn’t think very highly of Helena’s lawyer.
After she hired us, and our San Diego divorce lawyer appeared in court, the judge was very impressed. In fact, the judge said in front of everyone that he was happy that we were on the case. We had the case turned around and in the right direction on our very first court date. It was obvious the judge respected our experienced San Diego family law lawyer. On the second court date, the same judge said that he appreciated our Wallin & Klarich family lawyer’s arguments and that he agreed with the arguments. Helena of course was happy she found a lawyer whom the judges listened to and respected.
Second Example
A client, we’ll call her Jessica, hired us to ask the judge to have her case transferred to another county. The other party was her ex-boyfriend, who did not have a lawyer. When the Wallin & Klarich San Diego family law lawyer walked through the hallway toward the courtroom, the court clerk greeted him warmly, and by name. The bailiff also greeted him warmly. When the court called Jessica’s case, the judge listened to our Wallin & Klarich San Diego family law lawyer’s requests. The judge agreed with the Wallin & Klarich lawyer’s request.
In fact, when the ex-boyfriend asked a question, the judge told him, in front of the entire courtroom, that he should just listen to the Wallin & Klarich San Diego family law lawyer because our lawyer is a good guy and knew what to do. You can imagine how easy it was for our lawyer to convince the ex-boyfriend and the judge to do what our client wanted after that point. Needless to say, our client’s goals were achieved.
So, when you are talking to different family law lawyers, make every effort to find out that lawyer’s reputation with the other lawyers and judges in your community. A lawyer with a bad reputation will have a harder time helping you get what you want, and a lawyer with a great reputation, like our Wallin & Klarich lawyers, will make your life easier.
