Why do you give out your cell phone number to your clients?

I feel that it is important to be available to my clients.  Having a way to get a hold of me in an emergency (normally happens after hours) is important because some questions can't waite until Monday morning or the following day.   Plus, if there is a problem I hear about it right away and can try and resolve it as fast as possible.

A lot of people want to know how much an uncontested divorce costs?

The Rathel Law Group charges $2500 for a uncontested divorce.  However, there is also a filing fee that must be paid to the Clerk of Court for the County that you will be getting divorced in.  Orange county filling fee is currently set at $363 (made out to Clerk of Court).  This filing fee is for a contested or uncontested divorce and goes to the court budget not to the Attorney or Judge in your case.

Many people ask me what is the difference between an Uncontested Divorce and a Contested Divorce.

Uncontested divorce is where both parties can agree to the outcome of the dissolution of marriage and all they need is someone to help them with all of the legal paperwork and proceedings.  We assist many families with this process of uncontested divorce.  The majority of divorces start out as uncontested divorces but may become contested for many reasons including financial, emotional or issues relating to children.

Contested divorce is where the parties cannot agree to the outcome of the dissolution of marriage.  Although the majority of divorce cases start out as uncontested most of them end up becoming contested divorces.  This can occur for many reasons including financial, emotional or issues relating to children.  Whether your case ends up being uncontested or contested it still must follow through the proper legal proceedings.
