Beware Attorneys Who Make Promises Before They Understand Your Case

As experienced Long Island Divorce Attorneys, we unfortunately meet with many people who say that, after a brief conversation, an attorney promised them that he or she could get them A, B and C. In reality, however, no attorney can “promise” you anything after a brief conversation. Attorneys, like most professionals, have to do their due diligence to learn the true nature of your case.

There are any number of obstacles to getting A, B and C. Some of those obstacles may be statutory law or may be your spouse or his or her attorney refusing to budge and give you one of those things. Each and every divorce is different, just as each and every marriage is different, and, if you are in the middle of a Contested Divorce, you and your spouse are struggling to reach an agreement.

If you meet with an attorney who, after a few minutes, tells you he or she can fully complete your divorce and you’ll get everything you want for a nominal sum, without knowing any details about your marriage, your current financial situation and what assets you have (at the bare minimum), there is simply no possible way he or she can effectively deliver on that promise. If he or she can barely take the time to get to know you and understand your situation a little better, it’s unlikely he or she will take the time to effectively advocate for you during your divorce.

Without fully understanding the intricacies of your case, and the position and attitude of your spouse, there is simply no way an attorney can make any promises that can be meaningfully fulfilled. This is one of the reasons your consultation is so important. As experienced Long Island divorce attorneys, we need to know certain details before any promises are made and before any action is taken in a Long Island courtroom. If we are not armed with the proper information, we cannot effectively do our job and ensure you receive everything you deserve.

Your Spouse Can Try to Drag Your Divorce On

There have been countless people who have been the victim of their spouse attempting to drag out their divorce proceedings. While there are certainly safeguards built into the Long Island court system and contained in New York State Law, there are ways your spouse, or his or her attorney can effectively elongate your timeline. Of course, for almost every offensive action there is a defense tactic that can be used to ensure your divorce stays on track.

As experienced Long Island Divorce Attorneys, we have learned the most effective ways to keep your divorce moving, ensuring that this complex and emotional process does not last longer than is necessary. Almost all hurdles and obstacles that your spouse can throw at your case can effectively be maneuvered around, all while ensuring that you are receiving what you are entitled to.

It is important to keep in mind, however, that a Long Island divorce is something that takes time, and is rarely completed as quickly as you originally wanted. Many clients hope that their Contested Divorce will be wrapped up in a few months, but, unfortunately, this is a rare occurrence, particularly when parties are unwilling to negotiate. While we certainly do everything we can to keep your case moving forward, there are certain time restrictions and constraints that cannot be overlooked. It is also important to remember the potential long-lasting implications your divorce settlement is likely to have. Your Divorce Agreement, sometimes called a Stipulation of Settlement or Separation Agreement, will impact your life for many years to come. These issues affect not just you and your spouse, but your children, and their well-being as also. It is thus very important that your matter receives the time and attention that it deserves now to protect you from winding up back in court in a few months.

At one of the hardest and most stressful times of my life, it was so comforting to have a team at Hornberger and Verbitsky who ALWAYS responded in record speed to my questions, phone calls, emails or texts and who I felt really cared about helping me through this difficult time. It was a long few years and I am grateful to all of you. Thank you so much Rob, AnneMarie, Christine, Patty, Joan and Lawrence. Your guidance, professionalism and expertise is appreciated beyond measure.

I would give 6 stars if I could. I can't say enough good things about Robert and his firm. We were in a situation for over 2 years and I could have never made it through without Robert's experience and knowledge. He guided me through tough times when needed and his expertise could "read" the situation and make the next best move for me. He was tough when he needed to be tough (thankfully) and at the same time guided me through the process to make me feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. I would not want to go through this process without Robert and his team having my back. he helped move the case along and not waste any time or money. One last time, I 100% endorse Robert and his expertise.
