Do You Want an Attorney Who is a Problem-Solver or Trouble Maker? Ask Abraham Lincoln

February 8, 2021 By Camille Milner Leave a Comment

Abraham Lincoln said: "Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser--in fees, expenses, and a waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough." Do you want an attorney who is a problem-solver or a trouble-maker? That … [Read more...]

“First, Do No Harm”–How Can You Achieve a Quality Divorce Settlement?

January 25, 2021 By Camille Milner Leave a Comment

Quality Divorce

While over 90% of cases (some studies say 95%) are settled before they actually go to trial, clients should ask themselves a very important question: What is the quality of our settlement? Most clients do not know the importance of asking this question. It can determine their future and their children's future. Why? It is true the over 90% of cases settle before actually going through a … [Read more...]

Breaking Up is Hard To Do, Pt. 2: Finding the Right Counselor

September 21, 2020 By Camille Milner Leave a Comment

find a counselor

As I said in Part 1 of this series, "Breaking Up is Hard to To Do," I have found that information is empowering for people going through marital conflict or a divorce. Sometimes just knowing WHY you are feeling like you are, or the physiological and psychological reasons for it, can help you manage it better. I have come to believe that when people find a counselor that is the right fit for … [Read more...]

September 14, 2020 By Camille Milner Leave a Comment

Breaking up in a divorce

What’s the Role of Listening and Asking Questions in a Divorce? Pt. 1

July 10, 2020 By Camille Milner Leave a Comment

Listening skills 1

When I was a little girl, I had a grandmother who said, "We have two ears and one mouth because listening is more important than speaking." That grandmother frequently annoyed me with her cliche sayings, but after over 35 years in the practice of law, I have come to appreciate that saying.

Dangers of Writing an "Online" Will

I am representing a family right now, who are still in the grieving process of losing a family member to cancer. They are a family who doesn't have a lot of money, and now, because no one advised them properly on how to list beneficiaries on a life insurance policy, they are going to have to come up with the money to file a probate case, and in the end they may never get any of the money that … [Read more...]
