clients like to ask me when they first
hire me how much is this going to cost
of course I cannot tell you how much
it’s going to cost because everyone’s
divorce is different but what I can tell
you is a few good ways to lower your
costs and the primary way is to email
your lawyer phone calls are very
expensive phone calls generally for me
with my clients involve my clients
telling me a lot of information over a
long period of time because they’re
emoting and that’s important to them and
sometimes you can’t beat a phone call
but if you can give me that same
information in a little bit more of a
streamlined email and then I can respond
to you in an email well that might take
10 minutes but a phone call typically is
30 so to me email it almost saved the
divorce practice from surely going
overboard with the the way our fees were
running because now the clients have
such a quick way to access their lawyer
and get a quick response without it
being super expensive and also without
having to set up a conference call um
you know get on the calendar another way
we like to do it is zoom zoom has
changed everything ever since covid so a
a quick Zoom hearing uh between us if if
I can just hop on the the video and you
can hop on your video and we can talk
real quickly but we really see eye to
eye just like we met nobody’s having to
drive to anybody’s Office Space nobody’s
having to wait in a conference room we
just get it done and so I feel like Zoom
also changed the legal landscape uh for
the better for the clients

Nashville, TN family law attorney Anne Hamer talks about how you can lower your legal costs in a divorce.
Clients often inquire about the costs associated with their divorce when they first engage Anne’s services. While she cannot provide a fixed cost due to the unique circumstances of each case, Anne advises clients on effective strategies to manage expenses. One key recommendation she makes is to utilize email for communication instead of phone calls, as it can be more cost-effective and allows for efficient exchanges without extended conversation times.

Anne highlights how email has enhanced client access and responsiveness in her practice, contributing to cost control without compromising service quality. She also underscores the transformative impact of Zoom on legal proceedings, particularly since the advent of COVID-19. Anne points out that Zoom hearings offer a convenient and efficient way for attorneys and clients to interact virtually, reducing the need for physical meetings and simplifying logistical challenges. She believes these technological advancements have positively reshaped the legal landscape, providing clients with more efficient and accessible legal services.
