| Consultation Fees Should I Pay? |
| Posted By Brian D. Perskin |

In my experience
New York Divorce lawyers who offer free consultations are doing this to have a chance to sell their services. Many clients come to me after their free consultation and tell me that all they did was sit through a sales presentation. I charge for my advice because it is valuable. When you leave my office after your divorce consultation you will be informed and have a strategy to apply towards your case.
It is important to hire a lawyer who stays up to date on the latest developments in the law. For further information about The Law Offices of Brian D. Perskin please

| My husband controls all the Money Am I Entitled to Legal Fees? |
| Posted By Brian D. Perskin |
|
PRUDENTI, P.J.When an action for a
divorce in New York is commenced, it is often the case that most of the marital assets available for the payment of legal fees are possessed or controlled by one of the spouses, usually the husband. In order to ensure that the parties will have equal access to skilled legal representation, the Domestic Relations Law authorizes awards of interim counsel fees to the nonmonied spouse during the course of the litigation. Because of the importance of such awards to the fundamental fairness of the proceedings, we hold that an application for interim counsel fees by the nonmonied spouse in a divorce action should not be denied — or deferred until after the trial, which functions as a denial — without good cause, articulated by the court in a written decision.
