Possible Outcomes

The outcome of a divorce or other family law case depends on the lawyer, but also on the client. At my practice, the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Graff, I believe that an involved and conscientious client can contribute greatly to producing a successful resolution and a positive future for the client after the divorce.

The road to the outcome of your divorce will take its own unique path. It may be a peaceful process, resolved through the family mediation process or through cooperative settlement negotiation. Sometimes a more contentious process is the right path, leading to more difficult negotiation, or even to court litigation. Whatever the process, the client needs to stay engaged and focused on the ultimate goal.

Be As Truthful As Possible

In all legal matters, but especially in divorce and family law matters, it is essential to be truthful with your attorney. Family law matters can involve sensitive and highly personal feelings and facts that can be difficult to talk about, even to a close friend. As a highly experienced Southern California divorce attorney, I, Jeffrey S. Graff, have seen virtually every type of family law situation in a practice spanning 29 years. I do not sit in judgment of our clients, nor are we easily shocked or embarrassed. In my practice, my job is to look out for our clients and their interests.

When I talk about your divorce or family law matter, I need to know all of the relevant facts and events so that we can protect your rights to the fullest extent possible. The more we communicate, the more we are prepared with an effective response.

Be As Credible As Possible

All too often, family law disputes can turn into “he said, she said” arguments. If one side has documentation to back their assertions, it can strengthen their position immensely. If you are contemplating divorce, you should speak with an experienced lawyer about your rights and options. I can help you obtain a better outcome in your divorce or family law matter by advising you how and what to document and what information to collect. Depending on the issue at hand, these might include copies of tax returns, business records, or a calendar documenting the time you were with your children.

In many ways, a positive outcome depends on you. At the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Graff we will work together to obtain the best result possible for you.
