Manhattan Divorce Lawyer Reveals Money-Saving Secrets to a More Civilized Divorce
While many lawyers are anxious to increase the legal fees they collect, Manhattan divorce lawyer Nihara K. Choudhri is spilling the secrets of keeping divorce-related legal bills as low as possible in her new book, The Complete Guide to Divorce Law ($15.95 Kensington Books June 2004).
New York City, NY (PRWEB) June 23, 2004 -- Ever heard of a divorce lawyer
providing hours worth of legal advice for less than the price of two movie
tickets, and then donating a portion of her fees to charity? That’s exactly what
Manhattan divorce lawyer Nihara K. Choudhri does in her new book, The Complete
Guide to Divorce Law ($15.95 Kensington Books June 2004). Full of helpful tips
and advice, Choudhri's book promises to save divorcing individuals money, time
and emotional energy.
But does it deliver? Absolutely, say some of the
country’s most well-respected divorce lawyers. John Vassallo, Esq., a partner
with the New York firm of Franklin, Weinrib, Rudell & Vassallo, guarantees
that the book "will save divorce clients hundreds, if not thousands, of
dollars." Stacy Phillips, Esq., a partner with the California firm of Phillips,
Lerner & Lauzon LLP, calls the book a "must read" and a "valuable reference
guide" for anyone going through a divorce.
Since average divorce-related
legal bills now run to a whopping thirty thousand dollars, cutting legal costs
should be a top priority for anyone going through a divorce. Choudhri offers the
following five cost-saving tips for a more civilized divorce:
1. Take the
time to learn the divorce laws. "If you spend a little time understanding how
the divorce laws work in your state, you’ll be much better prepared for the road
ahead," says Choudhri.
2. Don't use the divorce process to get revenge on
your spouse. "While it’s tempting to use the court system to punish your spouse,
you’ll likely just end up punishing yourself and racking up high legal bills,"
warns Choudhri.
3. Don't try to "win" your divorce
case. "Instead of aiming to 'win', just focus on getting a fair deal," she
advises.
4. Don't put your children in the middle. "Make sure that your
children are insulated from the conflict," emphasizes Choudhri.
5.
Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate. "Whatever you do," says Choudhri, "don't go
marching into court unless you've exhausted all other options."
Ten
percent of Choudhri’s proceeds from the book will be donated to The Center for
Battered Women's Legal Services at Sanctuary for Families ( www.sanctuary.org ).
