Divorce
Spouses with long-term marriages and substantial marital assets have a lot at stake when they divorce. The old way of resolving these marital disputes through hearings, depositions, and trials may have worked best for the lawyers rather than the clients. Litigating a divorce case polarizes people who have lived their lives together. Instead of litigating, the lawyers of Snyder & Reilly, Trial Lawyers advocate each spouse getting a lawyer who will work up the financial aspects of the case and then work with a family law mediator to assist the parties and lawyers in resolving these marital issues without the needs for any hearings or depositions. This is a lower stress method of resolving marital issues and can save tens of thousands of dollars. Cases that would take one or two years can be resolved, if everyone cooperates, in six months or less.
Many couples about to divorce do not realize that they have a clear choice as to these two tracks. Mediated settlements are the contemporary approach to divorce in the 21st Century. It may not be right for all couples, but it should be right for most divorcing couples, as the result is that the client has full control over his or her destiny. The lawyers guide and assist. Judges are happy to sign the paperwork that results from successful mediations. Divorce by litigation is so 20th Century!
The Firm has handled many contested family law matters in Court through trial and even appeals. This approach is sometimes the only good option and, though costly, sometimes the only path to the client’s deserved result is through a trial.
Whether it be by early mediation or trial work, the lawyers at Snyder & Reilly, Trial Lawyers will zealously represent their clients but with care to minimize expense and downplay drama.
In this area of law, the Firm primarily utilizes the services of Legal Assistant, Joyce Gerhart, who has many years of experience handling divorce and family law issues. Joyce is a friendly, prompt and caring professional.
The Firm generally handles divorce cases in which marital assets to be equitably distributed exceed $500,000.00.
