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.

My attorney Andrew Christensen was great! He was very helpful while being realistic and upfront with me at the initial consultation. He did a great job of guiding me and answering any questions I had throughout the whole process. My paralegal Carren Leavitt was also very helpful. I appreciated her weekly check-ins, for the aid she provided, and the questions answered.

Clay Randle provided exceptional support and counsel. He was patient, knowledgeable, and thoughtfully addressed my many questions and concerns. Thank you very much!

I highly recommend Nathaniel Garrabrandt and Brown Family Law. If you are going through a divorce and your parental rights are being falsely challenged they are a great option. Nathaniel and Brown family law are professional, very knowledgeable, and know how to navigate within the broken and biased Utah family law court system. They were highly communicative throughout the process. They can potentially save you a lot of time and money if lawfare is being waged against you.
