We were preparing for trial, which involved much document preparation, etc., when my client sent me an email, “what is this trial thing? I don’t think this is going to save our marriage!” Well no, divorce trial is not going to save your marriage, it’s going to end it. If you want to save your marriage, attorneys cannot help you do that; while a lot of us can offer good advice, our advice will center more on dividing and preserving your assets and preparing you for life after divorce.

As a lawyer we seem to find humor in situations others would find perhaps rather bleak. Sometimes I’ve described my cases as similar to a box of chocolates–you never know what you’re gonna get. Every time I take a new case, it’s like getting a new chocolate. I am excited about the the new chocolate. I wonder what I am going to get, what will it taste like? But it’s always bad, all of them are bad, some are much worse than others, but they are all bad, but then again, it’s a different, and a new taste.
