JULIA BOUIANOVA ON BEING A DIVORCE AND FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY

Lately, I have been thinking a lot about what being a good lawyer really stands for, from a client’s perspective.  Especially being a good family lawyer, which is my major area of focus. There is so much more to it than knowing the theory, the law. Going through a divorce means not just saying good bye to a person once loved and the dream once had, but also living months of uncertainty of what is going to happen with children and property. Children and property—really, what hits home closer than that? A divorce is not the end of the world by any stretch of imagination, but at times, it can feel like that to the one making his or her way through it. And wouldn’t it be comforting to know that your divorce lawyer really gets your emotional side of the story. As a family lawyer, I want to get my clients the best legal outcomes, and also I want them to feel that I hear and understand their emotional truth.  As one very wise man once said to me, “They don’t call us ‘counselor’ for nothing.” I appreciate that my mission of being a good lawyer includes connecting with people on this level.
