Representing Clients in Divorce Proceedings is important to us and here is why
In the words of Harold Shepley: I have always been a strong champion for marriage, and I continue to be pro-marriage. However, when I gave a debt relief seminar to the Divorce Care Group at the Somerset Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, my eyes were opened to the pain that these individuals were going through. None of the individuals that I spoke with wanted to be divorced. They were all victims of divorce. I sat speechless as I listened to the “horror stories” of how they were treated by their attorneys. The issues ranged from not being able to afford an attorney, to never being able to talk to their attorney, to almost outright theft due to the outrageous fees. Perhaps the worst case was a local attorney “implying” a trade of sexual services since she could not afford his fee. The emotional pain these people were experiencing cut deep to my soul and I knew my firm could no longer sit on the sidelines. We had to get involved.
Attorney Jeff Ross from my office agreed to step forward and help these hurting people. I hired one of the best paralegals in the county to assist him, Dawn Bhullar. Not only does Dawn have 6 years’ experience working for the Somerset County Prothonotary’s Office, where all family law issues are handled, but she has been a victim of divorce herself. She has suffered through an abusive relationship and now offers hope to others facing similar adversity.
