Los Angeles, CA family law attorney Robyn Santucci talks about family law consulting. She discusses that family law consulting is designed for individuals who need the guidance of a family law attorney but do not require full-scope representation. Instead of having an attorney file on their behalf and handle the case from start to finish, clients may simply need targeted support. This can include hourly consultations to answer specific questions, provide strategic guidance, or assist during mediation.

Clients often use a consulting attorney to evaluate potential settlement terms, confirm whether a proposal is fair, and identify issues they may not have considered. Consulting can also be beneficial for those negotiating directly with their spouse, as the attorney can review agreements and provide insights to ensure their interests are protected. She emphasizes that family law consulting is an important part of her practice, offering clients access to legal expertise while allowing them to maintain control of their case.
