Surprisingly,
most Family Law experts say that an extensive experience in the courtroom is
important in handling divorce cases. If a Canadian divorce lawyer has
experience in handling criminal cases, he/she will have an upper hand when it
comes to actions which are criminal in nature. For example: restraining orders,
which are usually filed in criminal cases. With an experience in criminal
cases, a lawyer can properly prepare his defense against a restraining order
filed against his client. Same goes when he/she needs to file one for his/her
client. The former does not have to cram and research on what to do. By that
point, experience should be a huge issue in considering legal representation.
If he tells you he needs to consult a criminal lawyer when he encounters a
restraining order, he may ask for extra fees.
No
one can control on what would happen in a divorce case. Most people do not
realize that there is always a possibility that a criminal case can arise. With
that probability, a divorce attorney must be prepared. An attorney will
appreciate a criminal litigation experience in such scenario. He must be up to
a long haul, fight tooth to the nail, when needed for his client. The lawyer must
do everything he/she can to protect your freedom and rights which are
specifically stated in the Constitution.
Choosing an Canadian divorce lawyer with a broad experience will assure you
that he/she can handle whatever happens next in a divorce proceeding.
