How to hire a family lawyer with empathy

How to hire a family lawyer with empathy

No one wants to go through a divorce or separation. It’s an emotionally trying and difficult process, no matter what the circumstances are. That’s why it’s so important to have a family lawyer that you can trust and rely on – someone who is not only knowledgeable in their profession but also understanding and empathetic of the vulnerable position you find yourself in.

At Barker Evans, our family lawyers understand that emotions are running high when it comes to divorce and separation issues. Our team of experienced lawyers can provide empathy as well as sound legal advice throughout the process. We strive to ensure our clients not only receive knowledgeable legal representation but also a comforting presence that empathises with their situation.

Holistic approach

When it comes to representing a client, some divorce lawyers tend to have tunnel vision, focusing only on custody/parenting rights and a favourable asset split.

However, Barker Evans family lawyers can take a different approach if required. We also understand that family matters can require a holistic view of the situation, where nothing overrides the larger needs of the family.  Collaborative practice can also help families move forward past a separation where the needs of the family are all met.

Our Managing Director, Nicole Evans, and our Principal Director, Emily Barker, are both collaboratively trained family lawyers.

We can offer a range of services

Our approach to family law is comprehensive and tailored to each client’s individual needs. We take the time to get to know our clients and their stories, so that we can best provide support during a trying time. We strive to ensure that our clients are taken care of in all aspects of their case – emotional as well as legal.

At Barker Evans, we can assist you with your divorce, whether it is contested or uncontested. We can guide you through the mediation process, and work with you with a collaborative approach. Barker Evans can refer you to a Divorce Coach if required, financial experts to help review financial disclosure and we can prepare your new estate planning documents following a separation.

If your matter ends up in Court, we can strongly represent you through the litigation process. We will advocate for your best interests and take an aggressive approach if the situation requires it.

Help when you need it most

At Barker Evans, we have a strong emphasis on client service and satisfaction. We understand that empathy is just as important in family law as knowledge and experience. Our lawyers strive to provide a supportive environment with thoughtful legal advice for our clients going through divorce or separation.
