WHY HIRE A FEMALE ATTORNEY?
The real question is why not?
If you are male:
- The mother of your children may try to manipulate you to get what they want. As a female attorney I will be able to recognize those tactics.
- I can be aggressive and firm to more effectively cross examine without coming across as hostile.
- You can’t be accused of being a “woman hater” if you hire a female attorney.
- If you hire a male attorney it may look like you and your lawyer are ganging up on her because she is a woman.
- Many “Men’s Only” Law Firms employ female attorneys!
If you are female:
- I “get it”. As a female attorney we understand where you are coming from!
- I speak the same “Language”.
- I can be just as aggressive as male attorneys. After all I had to compete with them all through law school.
- I am an empathetic listener.
- You may find it easier to talk with a woman. You may be uncomfortable explaining some of your issues to a male attorney.
- Most would agree that women are better listeners, good at reading between the lines, and patient when explaining concepts and ideas.
