Experienced Family Law Counsel

Consultations

Family practice encompasses many aspects of the law. Google should be your friend. Search the internet to help define the steps you need to take. But nothing is more helpful than talking with a professional. When you contact me, Deborah A. Cook, you can be certain that you will receive honest, insightful answers about your concerns. I return most of my calls on the same day. My consultation is free over the phone, and I usually try to limit it to 15 minutes. Therefore, it is important that you equip yourself to know what questions you need to ask.

I help people in many ways. For example, it is important to have a will, a health care surrogate, an appointed power of attorney after you have completed your divorce. Would you have thought of that?

There are recommendations for communication regarding children. Counseling may be an option or using a co-parenting communication tool like Talking Parents or Our Family Wizard. My counseling skills have been helpful to clients who need to “un-couple” to achieve a healthy life after divorce. Do you know what tools can help you adjust to life after divorce, or co-parenting?

It is not uncommon for me to help enforce the marital or parenting plan agreement. In cases like these the legal steps include filing a Motion for Contempt and Enforcement, mediation may be part of the process, or a court hearing or trial. Are you aware that agreements are ordered by the court and are enforceable?

Finally, I encourage you to help yourself. Make yourself smart and prepared. Know your financial situation. Everything that happens in family law has financial consequences, don’t be surprised instead be educated. Rely on referrals, look for internet ratings on professional services.
