The only thing to fear is fear itself

Some clients are their own biggest enemy. They are so frozen with fear they are unable to act. This becomes a problem when I need information from them that is required in their divorce. An example: all divorces require each party to make detailed financial disclosures to the other party. This means numbers, tax returns, bank statements, etc. If my clients don't make an effort to give me what I need - they have given the other party a weapon that can be used against them. Once a court orders you to do something you should have done already, the court also orders you to pay the other sides attorney fees.

This is the most common problem divorce attorneys have in dealing with their own client.
