Legal Coaching

Supporting you to be your own best advocate

Legal coaching helps our clients who are acting for themselves in their family law matter develop the skills to improve their experience and outcomes. Our lawyers offer behind the scenes guidance to clients who are primarily self-represented, with the strategies and tools needed to present their case effectively in the absence of counsel. Legal coaching is primarily used by those who are mediating and negotiating their family law matter and who either can’t afford or who don’t want to spend their resources on a lawyer to run their entire case but want to maximize their outcomes. Tell your story with competence and confidence.

How does Legal Coaching work?

A legal coach can provide clients with information, assistance, strategic advice, and practical tips needed to be persuasive and present their case. Legal coaching may include:

  • Advice on organizing written and spoken presentations;
  • Assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of your case as well as the counterpart;
  • Assistance in developing and identifying achievable goals;
  • Strategic guidance on option building and issue identification;
  • How to handle yourself in court or mediation;
  • Guidance in understanding the family court system;
  • Legal advice and research;
  • Review and comment on documents as well as assistance in revising or drafting documents.

Legal coaching can facilitate your understanding of your own objectives, enhance the skills and tools you already have, and help you develop those you may need so that you can achieve the best outcomes. It can also raise your awareness of the big picture and identify and clarify your goals as well as maximize option building.
