12 things that people do who sort it out: 6 they choose their lawyer wisely.

Many people ask me as the mediator for advice on their lawyer. I tell people to look for someone who:

1. Listens more than they talk;

2. Wants to know what is important to you; and

3. Tells you want you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

It might not be plesant sometimes hearing from your lawyer advice that does not work in your favour. Although, the alternative is spending far too long in court and too much money to then be told by a Judge.

The number one key is making sure the lawyer is focused on what is important to you.
