At Michael B. Notelovitz Attorneys:
-
We understand that women are more emotional about divorce than men (and need more understanding and empathy than most men). We treat you as a whole person (not just as a "client").
-
We prefer a less formal, more open manner with our clients, allowing them to see the person behind the attorney.
-
We care about our clients, and we are not afraid to show it (we don't subscribe to "professional distance").
-
We know that women have a greater need to discuss their divorce with their attorney. You are free to discuss your case with your attorney at any time, by phone or text, even after hours if necessary, at no charge (within reason).
-
We work closely with expert psychologists in the field of divorce to get an understanding of a client’s husband (for strategic purposes). We also refer clients for an assessment if they are suffering from the emotional effects of the divorce.
-
We also work with child and educational psychologists to monitor the effects of the divorce on the minor children.
