Potential Divorce Client Tells The Truth.

As many of you know, part of my practice is family law. I have clients who want to get divorced, modify child custody or any other myraid family law issues. When potential clients first come into my office for the initial meeting, the conversation has to start somewhere and I start by offering an ice breaker. Usually I ask them to start the meeting by telling me about why they are seeing me.

Last week, I met with a younger woman who was in the process of divorcing her husband after only a few years of marriage. She didn't look too good (meaning not very healthy) when meeting with me. She was very thin with bulging muscles. So this young lady offered the quick ice breaker before I had a chance to ask her to explain why she made the appointment: "I look like this because I use heroin." Nice.

Ouch! That had to be tough for both of you!

I hope she gets help, not only from you, but from her addiction as well. What a hard situation to be in.

I hope she left your office and went straight to a rehab clinic!
