i find the "i like to fight" is much more represented in family law attorneys than in PI

I agree - I was just suggesting that is where, as a profession, we have room for improvements. Some days, I don't know if it is the clients demanding these kinds of lawyers or the lawyers push their clients. But, I had the option of declining to engage in mudslinging and fighting over the kids like they were pieces of meat.

I did a lot of what you did, Jake, in my own way - explaining about what could be fought about and what was a waste of time. Getting a good, accurate DDL was the payoff - if that was done well, then the rest of the divorce went well. It is when that was done either shoddily or with an agenda is when things got dicey.
