If you would imagine for a moment, a ship sailing the high seas. It could be a pirate ship, sailboat or luxury cruise liner; whatever your imagination conjures up. Regardless, without an experienced, knowledgeable crew sailing that ship will be difficult, extremely dangerous and unsuccessful. Let’s look at the crew needed to sail and navigate that ship. First, you have your captain, then your first mate or second in command. There’s the deckhand, crew chief and those who either work the oars or the sails, depending on the type of ship. Then there is someone who is the navigator. Together, all these important roles are vital for a successful, safe and smooth journey.
A Knowledgeable Divorce TeamWhen it comes to your dissolution of marriage journey, it’s important to have a team that works together to help steer the ship in the right direction. They make the journey as smooth and comfortable as possible for you. Also, you need a team who knows what to do if things become treacherous in order to steer back on course.
When you review your legal services agreement, you may notice two roles that are listed under attorney. Those would be ‘paralegal’ and ‘legal assistant/legal administrator.’ In keeping with the ship’s theme, Sabra is your captain. As your attorney for a divorce or child custody matter, she will make sure all procedures and rules are followed. In addition to that, she will give the best advice for your case to suite your needs. The paralegal plays the role of second in command, assisting the attorney with everything except for giving legal advice. The administrator is the deckhand, with some carry-over into the other roles; working behind the scenes at times to ensure things run smoothly or called upon when ‘all hands on deck’ are needed!
