Second Opinion Divorce CT provides peace of mind to couples in the midst of dissolution matters
(Ad) When we face a challenging situation in our lives, we tend to seek advice from more than one person. When going through a divorce, we get advice from our attorney, friends, and family, which can be overwhelming at times.
The issues and decisions can be complex and emotional, so an additional unbiased perspective can provide knowledge that we wouldn’t have realized otherwise. Suddenly, we are comforted to make a decision based on that second opinion.
This concept of an unbiased, unprejudiced second opinion is something Thomas Shanley recognized was missing from the field of family law. Being a top divorce attorney, he understands that a second opinion can make a difference for individuals embroiled in a dissolution matter.
“You always hear that lawyers only tell you what you want to hear, not what you need to hear,” he said. “A genuine second opinion is best when it is from an attorney who is able to provide an unbiased assessment with no hidden agenda of becoming successor counsel, who can provide valuable insight as to the current direction of your matter.”
Shanley’s legal services are now limited to providing second opinions on any and all facets of dissolution matters in Connecticut, whether be they pending or soonto-be commenced. Using 43 years of experience, he also acts as review counsel for mediation agreements and prepares prenuptial agreements with the goal of assisting clients in structuring realistic and reasonable settlements out of court.
“A second opinion can either give you assurance that the advice you’re getting is the right advice of counsel, or support your apprehension and help you on a different path going forward,” Shanley said. “This in turn can make your divorce less contentious, and minimize your financial and emotional pain.”
Costs
For a fixed $1,500 fee, clients receive two hours of consultative services, including document review. Clients can even opt for a three-hour session at $2,250, and additional time may be purchased for an additional fee. Shanley’s office facilitates prenuptial agreements at a fixed rate, as well.
Benefits
Choosing Second Opinion Divorce CT to resolve your dissolution matters comes with a number of benefits.
First, it erases any apprehension or anxiety created by your retained litigator, mediator, family, or friends who are also weighing in on your situation. Shanley offers an objective point of view with no strings attached and experience to boot.
Second, since Shanley’s service comes at a fixed fee, it saves clients money. Third, you’re guaranteed to receive advice that is genuine, unbiased, and personalized from an experienced attorney with no hidden agenda.
“When you start second guessing the time, costs, and level of conflict involved, or whether you’re getting the attention you deserve, it’s time to get a second opinion,” he said. “From initiation to settlement, I look at
your case from the outside and say, ‘is this going in the right direction?’”
Results
And the results speak for themselves.
“Clients at the initiation stage want to know how best to proceed, and they’ve been extremely appreciative of my services for mitigating the marital conflict from the onset,” Shanley said.
He continued, “I’ve had clients who were concerned that the mediation agreement was not favorable enough for them based on advice they received from family and friends, when in fact it was extremely favorable. The client felt comforted that they were doing the right thing. At other times, I’ve assisted in tweaking the agreement for the advantage of one or both parties.”
