Case Strategy Support
Sometimes You Need Another Set of Experienced Eyes on the Case
​
Family law cases can become complicated quickly.
There may be years of history, competing allegations, incomplete discovery, complicated financial information, difficult witnesses, shifting custody issues, or simply so many moving pieces that it becomes difficult to see the case clearly.
Family Law Solutions provides case strategy support to Georgia family law attorneys and legal teams who want help organizing the issues, identifying what is missing, developing the work that needs to be done, and determining what should happen next.
You remain the attorney. You make the legal decisions.
I help you work through the case.
​
Step Away From the File and Look at the Case
​
Sometimes the most valuable thing you can do is stop reacting to the next deadline and look at the case as a whole.
What are the real issues?
What has actually been proven?
What is still missing?
What discovery needs to be completed?
What documents need closer review?
Which witnesses matter?
Where are the weaknesses?
What does the attorney need before mediation, a hearing, or trial?
And most importantly: What needs to happen next?
Case Strategy Development gives you an opportunity to work through those questions with someone who understands the practical progression of a Georgia family law case.
​
How Family Law Solutions Can Help
Case Strategy Development may include assistance with:​
​​
Case Review & Issue Identification
Review the procedural history, pleadings, prior Orders, discovery, financial information, correspondence, and other key materials to identify significant issues and areas requiring additional attention.
Case Mapping
Organize the case so the legal team can clearly see where the matter stands, what has already been completed, what remains outstanding, and what needs to happen before the next major event.
Discovery Strategy
Evaluate what information has been obtained, identify gaps in the evidence, consider additional discovery that may be necessary, and help organize the next steps in the discovery process.​
​
Financial Case Development
Review DRFAs, Child Support Worksheets, Marital Balance Sheets, income information, supporting documents, business records, and other financial materials to identify inconsistencies, missing information, and areas requiring additional investigation.​​
​
Custody Case Development
Help organize the factual history, Parenting Plans, communications, school and medical information, prior Orders, witness information, and other evidence relevant to custody and parenting issues.
​
Witness & Evidence Development
Identify potential witnesses, organize anticipated testimony, develop witness summaries, identify supporting exhibits, and determine where additional evidence may be needed.
​
Hearing & Trial Strategy Support
Help organize the case for temporary hearings, final trials, and other contested proceedings by identifying issues, evidence, witnesses, exhibits, financial work product, deadlines, and preparation priorities.
​
Settlement & Mediation Preparation
Organize the information necessary to evaluate settlement positions, prepare financial and factual summaries, identify unresolved issues, and make sure the team is prepared before mediation begins.
​
When Case Strategy Support May Be Helpful
​​​
Case Strategy Development will be helpful to you if:
- A case has become particularly complicated
- The file has grown large and difficult to manage
- Discovery has produced a significant amount of information
- Financial issues need closer analysis
- A hearing, mediation, deposition, or trial is approaching
- You inherited a case from another attorney
- You suspect something important is missing but cannot immediately identify what it is
- Your team needs a clearer plan for moving the case forward
- You simply want a second experienced perspective before making the next move
Sometimes you do not need another employee.
You just need another experienced professional to help you think through the case.
More Than a Case Review
​
The goal is not simply to read the file and give you a list of observations.
The goal is to help turn those observations into actionable next steps.
Depending on the engagement, that may include identifying additional documents to obtain, discovery to pursue, financial work to complete, witnesses to prepare, exhibits to organize, deadlines to calendar, questions to investigate, or tasks to delegate to the legal team.
Because identifying the problem is only useful if you also know what to do about it.
