Kevin Colwell Actually Does Care
When I first became separated, I hired a pit bull attorney so I could get back at my ex, who had wronged me. Unfortunately, the pit bull was a pit bull alright, only to me and not my ex. My first attorney did nothing more than receive and forward me countless letters from opposing counsel, racking up thousands of dollars and never actually doing any meaningful work on my case. 9 months, $9,000 dollars later and nowhere closer to divorce, I fired my ex-attorney and hired Kevin Colwell. It was a very good decision. Kevin and his firm provided me with professional services at a reasonable price. Kevin did not forward me every letter as my previous, unscrupulous attorney had, but rather, only contacted me when there was something important. Kevin could have made himself thousands of dollars more by simply forwarding me the letters from opposing counsel, which were intended to break me mentally and financially. Instead, Kevin recognized this and saved me money. Not every attorney would do that.
At trial, opposing counsel came off as a bully as he badgered me and peppered me with intentionally intimidating questions. Kevin’s approach to questioning my ex was to do so with respect and professionalism. I believe this approach worked better with the judge and helped me with my decision. I didn’t get everything I wanted and you probably won’t either. But that’s not Kevin’s fault. Rulings are based on law and individual judges who follow statute and I am pleased to have taken the approach I did with Kevin.
If you are angry at your ex and are seeking a divorce attorney and you want to go to war, just plan on your war costing you thousands of dollars and taking far longer than is necessary to complete this unfortunate process. The money you are going to spend exacting a toll on your ex is going to cost you far more from your own retirement and children’s college funds if you choose an attorney who will be more than happy to cash every check you write as you try to get back at your ex.
If, on the other hand you’d like to try to get through this process with some dignity, with your head held high and with some money left in your pocket, Kevin Colwell is the attorney I’d recommend.
Going through my divorce, I learned why attorneys get a bad rap. Having hired one and been opposed by one, there’s a lot of sketchy, selfish attorney’s out there who will claim to have yours and your children’s best interest at heart to lure you into hiring them and then padding their wallets with your money as they drag out the process unnecessarily for months letting you linger financially and emotionally. Kevin Colwell actually does care and it gives me hope to know that not all stereotypes are correct and there really are good people in this profession.
I hope this helps. Good luck with your decision. Oh, and you may not be able to see it now, but life gets much, much better when you find the one you’re actually supposed to be with. Hang in there. You’ll see.
