The high degree of emotionality and psychological turmoil on the parts of divorcing individuals commonly leads to disruptions in the legal process, increased risk for the families involved, and a drawn out process that is more difficult and stressful for the lawyer and the client. One quarter to one half of all communications between lawyers and divorce clients is about the client’s emotional state. While 89% of attorneys state the importance of attending to this, fewer than half believe that they know what to do.
This unique program will teach lawyers the knowledge and hands-on skills to work with clients in ways that will keep the emotions contained, the client focused, and outcomes more efficiently reached. Using a case format and live applications of the material taught, participants will come away from the workshop better able to build client relationships that are less susceptible to emotional disruption and better able to contain clients during times of high conflict.
