Family law requires a different skill set than other areas of practice. You have to maximize your people skills to work collaboratively with the parties for the benefit of families, but you also have to be able to be a strong advocate when necessary. Ideally, you want to encourage parties to work out their conflicts because it benefits everyone, but it is just as important that the attorney ensures their clients are protected.
