Choose an Experienced Orange County Divorce Lawyer

Divorce attorney Derrick Taberski is in his seventh year of practice. Before starting his own family law firm, he worked for California family law specialists and dealt with numerous family law cases ranging from relatively simple matters to very sophistocated and complex matters. He is experienced in a wide range of divorce and family law situations and can use his knowledge and experience to help you get the best results possible in your case. Derrick practices primarily in Orange County family law courts, but gladly goes to family court in Riverside, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino counties. Many attorneys will claim to be experienced family law attorneys, but then cannot answer a simple question like what is the difference between temporary and permanent spousal support. Be sure to ask Derrick during your free initial consultation. Every divorcing party should know the basics of spousal support.

Affordable Orange County Divorce Attorney

If you think you cannot afford a skilled Orange County divorce attorney, think again. When making the decision to retain a lawyer, you should not only consider the "ticket price" but also what you are trying to protect. If the parties have a short term marriage, no assets, no children, no debts, and are young and healthy and have great equal-paying jobs, depending on their specific circumstances, maybe they can get by without using an attorney (this is not legal advice - your own circumstances will vary - consult a competent family law attorney). However, if you have built a life and family together with your spouse, have children together, community property assets and debts, disparate financial and personal circumstances that may impact spousal or child support, or have other circumstances that complicate your divorce, what are you willing to risk by being your own lawyer? - your house, car, children, financial support, your retirement plan? People buy liability insurance to protect them against losses when they cannot afford to replace an asset, such as their house. Legal fees should be considered as money spent to protect you against similar losses. While no outcome is guaranteed in any legal proceeding, just as a prudent property owner insures her property against damage or loss, a good family law lawyer can help you protect your interests in a divorce or other family law proceeding. What have you got to lose?

Derrick is an affordable Orange County divorce attorney who offers limited scope representation for low flat fees, and full representation at reasonable hourly rates. He also provides mediation services for a flat fee. Please call Derrick today for your free initial consultation for a family law or divorce case in or around the city of Orange or in the counties of Los Angeles, Riverside, or San Bernardino.

You and your family are both very important. Why not have legal representation? If divorce costs are an issue with you, be sure to ask Derrick about the possibility of the other party paying all or a part of your attorney's fees. While there are provisions in the California Family Code that address the possibility of one party contributing toward the other's attorney's fees, you have to have an actual attorney (among other things) to qualify. Attorney's fees cannot be awarded to a paralegal or other document preparation service if they are not attorneys.
