WINNING TACTICS - JULY NEWSLETTER
Consider the scenario:You go to see a solicitor. The solicitor asks you what assets you both own. Then the solicitor asks you what kind of a settlement you are hoping to achieve. If he/she listens to this and says: Right, we’ll see what is possible, then you may have found a good solicitor. If he/she says: Oh, I can get you a much better deal than that, then beware and be warned. You could be about to enter the arena of divorce with a one-sided winning tactic: your solicitor’s.
It is at this point that we should not listen to what a solicitor says we may do, but what humanity, reason and justice tell us we ought to do. Unfortunately, the two points of view do not always coincide. It is possible that you may achieve a better settlement if you adopt a more aggressive tactic, but the outcome may not always be what you may expect. People get hurt: on both sides. The only person that usually comes away without a scratch is your legal representative.
I hear so many examples of this. One recent case involved a person who was assured by her solicitor that she could obtain a far higher settlement if she followed the advice this firm was offering. She agreed. Months later, she had paid thousands of pounds to her lawyers and there was still no sign of a result. She was left penniless. When at last the legal firm attempted to seize her home, she understood that she needed help.
In these kinds of situations, a better tactic may have been in the end to listen to that small voice in our heads that tells us to stop. This all sounds very visionary, but really it is quite basic. Rather than allowing someone else to fill our heads with unrealistic and even dangerous propaganda, an alternative may be to accept a compromise based on facts that we know, and consider that a bird in the hand is invariably worth two in the bush, particularly if it’s a thorn bush.
