I hired Daniel Clement to help me with my divorce after working with another lawyer I was unhappy with and I am very content with my decision. I highly recommend his services. First of all, he’s always been very responsive with my requests and questions which is key to me because divorces are tense and having him available for insight and questions really made the experience less stressful. He’s very professional, knowledgeable, creative and quick. He came up with a winning strategy focused on facts and the big picture instead of being drawn into diversions and smear tactics used by the opposing council. He sets realistic expectations about the process and the potential outcome and is a great negotiator. This helps reach the best potential deal and not get carried away by speculations which would have resulted in additional time and cost. Lastly his services are cost effective which is very important because divorces are expensive.

In most cases, you will only go to court is the case is contested- meaning you and your spouse cannot agree on some issues and you need a judge to intervene. If you and your spouse can agree on all the issues and reach an agreement, the divorce may be uncontested and, in most cases, you will not need to go to court.
Generally, the more contested the divorce, the more it costs. If you and your spouse are reasonable and can agree to a settlement or proceed to an uncontested divorce, the costs can be substantially less.
A valid and properly executed pre-nuptial agreement will be honored in a divorce and should resolve any of the issues addressed in the agreement.
