First-rate pro se assistance -- lawyer's input still needed.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book offers key resources to the individual who does not command the kind of files an experienced, professional Minnesota family law attorney such as Thomas Tuft develops over time in their office.Even so, representing oneself -- whether out of financial necessity or a purely headstrong attitude -- is never a valid substitute for seasoned, independent legal judgment.While using the key items provided, the user would be wise to obtain as much help as possible in planning, consulting, and reviewing their submissions from competent local counsel --such as Mr. Tuft -- with recent experience in Minnesota divorce work.Every pro se party would be particularly well-advised to have "final" drafts of submisions to the court -- including draft settlement agreements -- reviewed by their own, independent counsel PRIOR TO signing or approval, and prior to service on the other party or to filing with the court, even if payment of some form of fee for that service is necessary. Many tragically unfair settlements entered into by pro se parties could have been prevented by even a $100.00 pre-approval consultation with an experienced lawyer.
