info_outlineWhen you hire a divorce attorney, you expect them to handle the legal side of your case. But what does that actually mean? And just as importantly—what isn’t your lawyer responsible for?
This week, Tracy Coenen is joined by Raiford Palmer, a top Chicago family law attorney, managing shareholder of STG Divorce Law, and author of the Amazon bestselling book I Just Want This Done: How Smart Successful People Get Divorced Without Losing Their Kids, Money, and Minds. Raif shares his no-nonsense take on what a divorce lawyer should (and shouldn’t) be doing to help you get the best possible outcome in your case.
Inside This Episode:
- What a divorce lawyer’s job actually includes—and why many attorneys don’t communicate enough with their clients.
- Common mistakes lawyers make (and how to spot a bad one before you hire them).
- Why setting realistic expectations matters—and how a good attorney should guide you through potential settlement outcomes.
- Should your lawyer be the one tracking down hidden money? The answer might surprise you.
- The importance of strategy in divorce—why just “fighting for everything” is often the worst approach.
Hiring a divorce attorney is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make in your case. But many people go into the process with unrealistic expectations about what their lawyer will do. Raif breaks it all down so you know exactly what to expect—and how to work with your lawyer more effectively.
What You Need to Know:
- Your lawyer is there to guide, not guarantee. Any attorney who “promises” an outcome is one to avoid.
- The best attorneys prioritize strategy and negotiation. 95% of divorces don’t go to trial, so a lawyer who only focuses on courtroom battles may not be the best fit.
- You need a team, not just a lawyer. Financial experts, real estate pros, and parenting coaches may all play a role in your divorce strategy.
- If your attorney isn’t communicating, that’s a problem. You deserve clear, direct guidance on your case—not vague legal jargon.
Tune in Now to get Raif’s expert take on what a good divorce lawyer really brings to the table!
