S. G. Morrow & Associates, P.A. has years of experience as Divorce Attorney Miami. Sometimes…
Miami is one of the most unique places to live in the United States. It is not only an American city, it is also an international city. Known as the Gateway to Latin America, the Magic City is one of the nation’s few major metropolitan areas where Spanish is the primary spoken language by the majority of its residents. Like most major American cities, there are countless couples that will need to file for divorce. But what if your Miami divorce lawyer does not speak Spanish? It can place a client at a tremendous disadvantage.
The attorney/client relationship is an important element of each family law case. Clear and effective communication can often make the difference between getting the best results or losing much of your hard earned assets and the rights to your children. A bilingual Miami divorce lawyer can incorporate more services to address the legal needs of international clients. During the divorce process, clients will need to fill out legal forms, provide contracts, write thank you letters and complete questionnaires and evidence check lists. If you are involved in an international divorce, your attorney may need to correspond with legal professionals in other countries.
Awkward misunderstandings can be cute in everyday conversation. But they can be disastrous when it comes to dealing with your divorce lawyer. Miami is home to thousands of Spanish speakers that will require an attorney to provide representation in some of the most complicated divorce cases. Divorce attorneys that do not speak Spanish could also be risking malpractice by inadvertently providing wrong information. When there is a language barrier, it can lead to several mistakes including the dates and times of hearings, important facts concerning your case along with the determination of legal benefits and options.
Trust is an easy word to say. But it can be a difficult thing to do—especially when your divorce attorney does not speak the same language. One of the best ways a Miami divorce lawyer can establish greater trust is effectively explaining family law procedures in the native language of clients to create a greater sense of comfort. Many Spanish speaking clients are concerned about dealing with a legal system they do not properly understand. By having an attorney that can communicate at the same level, it creates a greater rapport with the client.
Divorce is already complicated when both client and attorney speak the same language. It becomes even more complicated when there is a language barrier. Unfortunately, there are still far too many Miami divorce attorneys that have not taken the time to learn Spanish. It not only limits their cliental, they are also doing a disservice to their clients. A Spanish speaking Miami divorce lawyer also has the advantage of having greater cultural understanding for their clients. By understanding the customs and traditions of their clients, bilingual family lawyers provide the best option to help international clients achieve their goals.
Stephanie G. Morrow understands the importance of properly representing Spanish speaking clients. As a bilingual Miami divorce attorney, she has spent more than 25 years representing men and women in family and immigration law.
