Are you looking for tips on how to be a better attorney and business owner? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews an experienced family law attorney, John Nachlinger about the evolving practice of divorce law. The discussion covers the emotional complexities of family disputes, the drawbacks of adversarial legal tactics, and the benefits of collaborative, solution-focused approaches.
John provides some insights on the difficulties of family law. Many attorneys rush into the court process rather than using problem solving to avoid it. Court can really become traumatic for all parties involved, including the children. For John, family law is all about finding solutions in order to avoid court. Because family law often deals with high emotions from all involved, it is important to be collaborative and work with everyone to reach a solid conclusion.
John speaks to delegating intake as an attorney and provides some advice that should be followed. If you are an attorney who also acts as the boss of a firm, you need to take your attorney hat off and figure out how best to run your firm. You need to hire good people you trust who can focus on tasks like intake so you can worry more about building your business and marketing to get more clients.
