Divorce Attorneys and Jargon/Legalese

Turns out attorneys who use jargon/legalese are often doing so because they’re insecure. Using legalese is more about the attorney trying to sound smart than about communicating clearly with clients or the court.

Here’s a hint for those looking to hire a family lawyer…

If the attorney uses legalese and you can’t understand what the attorney’s saying, find someone else.

You’re probably talking to an insecure attorney who is low on the lawyer totem pole.

Find someone who talks to you in a way you can understand. It takes a lot of work and practice to explain difficult legal ideas to non-lawyers. Find someone who’s put in the time and practice to communicate clearly.

In the end, you’ll probably be happy you did.

Thank you to everyone at Brown Family Law. You guys are an amazing team. My attorney Katrina Redd made this so easy for me. She was always available to help explain the details, answering all of my questions and concerns with respect and clarity. And can I say, the way she handled my mediation…I was so impressed. Im so happy I chose to go with Brown.

They did an outstanding job working on my case. It was very difficult due to me being in the military and stationed in Texas. They did a great job communicating with me by email and phone and i was very satisfied with the outcome and their work. I would definitely recommend them, especially to any other military people who need to have legal issues dealt with in Utah and that are unable to be there themselves to handle it.

Leilani was incredible to work with throughout my case. She was always available when I needed her, and both she and Dani consistently went out of their way especially every Wednesday and Friday, to make sure they made time for me. Their dedication and responsiveness never went unnoticed. Leilani handled everything with professionalism and care, guiding me step by step toward a resolution. I truly appreciate the support, communication, and commitment they showed from start to finish
