This featured business post is brought to you courtesy of Hope Wood, JD. Read about her “Will in a Day Program” here.
Families come in all shapes and sizes, and sadly, sometimes a marriage doesn’t end successfully or a parent needs to step away from being part of the family. Most attorneys are quick to litigate or file for legal action which can be costly and drag on and on. Hope Wood’s goal is to assist in finding a solution in the shortest amount of time and for the least amount of money. Try finding another attorney with that viewpoint!
Hope Wood JD approaches your problems in a different way. She brainstorms with the individual about things he or she can do instead of taking the other person to court. Hope advocates for no litigation unless all options are exhausted. She takes the time and effort to discuss the problem with the client because litigation is expensive, time consuming, and no one wins the emotional battle. For Hope, family law = the opportunity to problem solve.
