Three expert family law attorneys help you take charge of your own case, all the way through the court system, even against lawyers. Most people can now take their cases to court, use legal means to resolve problems, and either negotiate a settlement or get a judge to decide unresolved issues. You might decide to get some legal advice or support, but the case stays in your hands where it belongs. If you want to have an attorney take over your case, you will now be able to select and supervise your attorney, know if your case is being handled competently, and know how to fire an attorney who is not giving good service. The Bar has now been raised (pun intended).

There are things you can do to help yourself that no lawyer can do for you—these pages are full of examples. Wth this book, most people will be able to handle their own cases competently, even in court. Get some legal advice, some coaching, maybe some paperwork service, and there’s not much you can’t accomplish.
