It is no wonder that untangling these and other serious issues can be challenging for you as a family law lawyer when you are trying to help families in crisis. Our presenters provide practical strategies that they use everyday as mental health professionals, practitioners, and judges to assist you in establishing a theory of the case. They help you determine the tools you need to move your matter forward for your clients in an efficient and effective manner.
