Are You Experienced? It's not just a song by Jimi Hendrix. It's a question every family law attorney should be asked. An experienced family lawyer has so many advantages over someone starting out. When you are experienced: - There is little about divorce, child custody or other family matters that you have not seen firsthand.
- You know how different judges think, so you can advise your clients better.
- You know how to keep clients in line, so they don't say or do the wrong thing.
- You don't annoy judges because you don't waste the judges' time.
- You get things done faster because you already know how to do them.
- You wind up being less expensive because of this efficiency — even though your hourly rate is not the lowest.
Best of all, people know who you are, which is a tremendous advantage in a community like Bend. Deschutes County Child Custody LawyersJonathan Duerst and Richard Funk are experienced family lawyers.
