THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THIS WEBSITE -

Collaborative law is the most important development in legal thinking during the last 50 years! This site includes a considerable volume of information about collaborative law and how it operates in the context of family law situations – divorce, property agreements, modifications, etc. That material is the most important information within this site – PLEASE READ IT.

The collaborative law movement was spawned through the realization by experienced lawyers that the litigation system does not operate well in many family law cases. Collaborative law is based upon an agreement by the parties and their lawyers to stay away from the courthouse while negotiating a settlement that serves everyone fairly. Over the last several years, the skills of collaboratively trained lawyers have enabled many persons to chart their own courses through family disputes and emerge in much better shape than would otherwise have been possible.

Please take the time to learn more about collaborative law through the information on this site and that provided by the organizations noted in the “links” section.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS WEBSITE -

Some lawyers use their websites as billboards to shout –

  • “Hire me because
  • I’m the best lawyer in the universe
  • I’m the rough and tough lawyer
  • I’ll do the job for less money”

And other grandiose claims that may be larger than reality.

Of course, the objective is to persuade you to hire that particular lawyer rather than another one.

Obviously, this website is an advertisement for Robert J. Matlock, P.C.. However, the content of this website has been assembled with a different objective in mind – to provide you with forthright and useful information about family law matters.

The material within this site is primarily informational memos composed by Robert J. Matlock to help clients understand what to expect in their family law cases.

When you review these materials, please keep in mind that what you are reading is general information rather than specific advice concerning your particular circumstances. For assistance with your particular matter, please contact Mr. Matlock at one of the offices via phone or e-mail.
