My favorite Chapter of the book is Chapter 5 (Know How and Where to Get Legal Help). This chapter tells you what steps to take to find the right lawyer. It also teaches you about your lawyer’s duties to you as well as your duties to your lawyer.
Lawyers have many duties toward their clients. These include:
- Keeping you informed,
- Abiding by your decisions,
- Keeping matters confidential,
- Moving your case along,
- Explaining the bills, and
- Courteous treatment.
According to Judge Duncan, your duties as a Client are:
- Tell the truth,
- Respond promptly to requests,
- Paying your bill, and
- Don’t be a pest.
Overall, this book offers lots of useful insight from an experienced judge on how best to solve the issues arising out of your divorce.
Conclusion: Although Judge Duncan is from California, I feel that this book is very useful for people seeking divorce in Chicago, Illinois.
