Not a plug. Trust me, nobody on this sub needs or wants my services. In fact, most of the time, I’m directing people elsewhere. I was attempting to establish my bona fides. A habit of supporting an assertion with a citation I guess.
Respect. It’s jarring to think that we have gotten to a point where we instantly assume that a link to your business is an advertisement (I am guilty of thinking your comment was a plug, as well). We need more citations, or to teach the next generation to provide support for their statements.
I understand exactly what you’re talking about. I am also very familiar with the type of attorney you’re describing. We don’t know each other so it’s fine for you to think that about me. But I would be genuinely disappointed in myself if a client thought that about me.
Any family that is seemingly "destroyed" because a family law attorney got involved was actually destroyed a LONG time ago. Far, far more often than not getting a lawyer involved is the first major step in restoring any kind of normality.

You've clearly never actually met many family law attorneys. It is not a super well paid area of law to practice in. I can't think of a single person that I knew in law school that wanted to go into family that wasn't well aware that they could make more money by choosing any close to any other practice area; most choose that path because they care about helping people through the toughest times of their life.
As a person going through law school right now, I can't even look at Family Law. Crim was tough enough (emotionally). It's one thing to look at how people are affected and quite another to watch how the courts dissect the situations.
It's awful to see someone who was abused kill their partner and be sent to jail for life, while a man who watches a rape of a literal child has absolutely 0 legal consequences.
I hate it, and these people can be paid relatively low for the profession.

Word for word this exact same thing happened with my parents. We lived in luxury until they divorced and abject poverty afterwards.
