Navigating a family law issue — whether it’s separation, child custody, or property division — can be one of the most stressful periods in a person’s life. At Sorensen Truong LLP, we understand the emotional weight and complexity that comes with these legal matters. That’s why your first family law consultation is designed to provide clarity, support, and a clear path forward.
If you’re preparing for your initial meeting with our legal team, here’s what you can expect and how to make the most of it.
📝 1. A Warm, Professional Welcome
When you walk into our office — whether in person or virtually — our team is here to ensure you’re comfortable. We prioritize client-centered service that is responsive, respectful, and confidential. You’ll meet with a lawyer who will listen to your concerns, explain your legal rights, and help you feel heard without judgment.
📌 2. A Detailed Discussion of Your Situation
Your lawyer will begin by asking you to explain your current family law situation, which may include:
-
Whether you’re separated or considering separation
-
Details about children or parenting arrangements
-
Financial issues (property, assets, debts, support)
-
Any urgent concerns (e.g., protection orders, unsafe situations)
This part of the consultation helps us gain a full picture of your circumstances so we can offer legal advice tailored to your unique needs.
📄 3. Review of Relevant Documents
If you’ve brought any documents — such as court orders, financial statements, agreements, or letters from the other party — we will review them during the consultation. These materials help us understand the legal context and provide more accurate legal guidance.
Pro tip: Bringing organized documents can make the consultation more productive and cost-effective.
⚖️ 4. Clear Explanation of Your Legal Rights and Options
We’ll take the time to explain:
-
Your legal rights and obligations under BC family law
-
Potential next steps, including mediation, negotiation, or litigation
-
What to expect if your matter proceeds to court
-
The timeline, legal process, and costs associated with your case
Whether you’re pursuing a collaborative resolution or need firm representation in court, you’ll leave the consultation with a clearer understanding of your options.
💼 5. Strategy Discussion and Next Steps
If you choose to retain Sorensen Truong LLP, we’ll begin developing a strategy tailored to your goals. This may involve:
-
Drafting legal documents
-
Initiating court proceedings or responding to claims
-
Contacting the other party’s lawyer
