Offers Strategic Advice to California Family Lawyers
OAKLAND, CALIF.—Amid the complex custody, property, and other issues that frequently accompany divorce cases—not to mention the emotional turmoil that can make it difficult to assess what a client wants—California family law attorneys face daunting challenges in advising their clients and in making strategic decisions throughout each case. A brand new book from CEB is designed to help them do exactly that.
Dissolution Strategies: From Intake to Judgment, written by a highly experienced group of California family law specialists, including a judicial officer, guides the attorney in making strategic and tactical decisions at key points in the marital dissolution process. Valuable for both new and experienced family law attorneys, the book offers insights for handling a variety of issues, including:
- assessing what your client is really after
- thinking through the case from the very outset
- strategy in seeking preliminary orders and getting ready for trial
- preempting discovery wars with the other side
- when to "fire" your client
- closing out the case with the future in mind

"It offers succinct legal background material on key substantive and procedural issues and practical advice on handling situations that can be challenging even for experienced attorneys, such as handling difficult clients. And the multiple practice suggestions, checklists, and forms included make it extremely valuable to keep on hand."
