WHY CHOOSE US?
What Makes Us Different?
Selecting a family law firm to protect your legal interests and rights and help calm your stressful emotions is a time-consuming, costly, and generally a frustrating task for people under duress. Those seeking help and comfort are confused by the complexities of where to start, where to go, what exactly to do, and who they can put their trust in to resolve what could be the most important and painful decisions of their lives.
Contradictory to belief, all divorce attorneys and family law firms are NOT the same. Unless they are directly recommended and/or you have done thorough research, you really know very little about them and what they have to offer. The only commonality is that they all do have a license to practice law … not necessarily focused on family law, but all types of law.
As you read through the various sections of the website for The Law Office of Deborah Bianchi Tracht, P.A., you will be pleased and encouraged to see a dedicated and experienced family law attorney striving for the highest quality of standards. If you come to our office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, you will deal directly with an attorney who only practices family law and divorce.
As you evaluate your potential attorney options, you will find that the areas of representation are different; the areas of practice therein vary; levels of education, expertise, and competency are different; the personal touch, compassion, and comfort they offer is different; responsiveness is different; dedication and sensitivity involving children is different; commitment to and areas of client offered services are different; important affiliations and memberships are different; and of course, hourly fees and retainers are different. EACH one of these issues is important and each one by itself makes a difference in the successful outcome of your case, the calming of your emotions, and the speed in which the matter is brought to closure, allowing you and your family to move on with your lives.

The majority of people evaluating a potential family law and divorce firm focus greatly on three issues:
- Hourly fees and retainers
- Location
- Recommendations/experience
These issues are significant, however, there are more prioritized concerns to consider.
What will the total legal fees be when the case is completed?
Will my family and I be happy and properly protected when it is over?
When it is all final, a lawyer charging less per hour may ultimately be considerably more expensive than one who charges more per hour. It is all about the total amount of hours it takes a lawyer to conclude your case. The lower-cost attorney may have limited expertise, limited negotiating skills, and limited motivation to control your costs. He or she may require 100 hours for completion (possibly without satisfaction), while the higher-cost lawyer with exemplary skills may get the same case completed in only 50 hours, with better results. It is not uncommon for clients to become extremely dissatisfied with their final results where they had hoped to save money by not hiring a knowledgeable and experienced Family Law and Divorce attorney or even “handled the matter themselves.” This is a factor which must be considered, when retaining an attorney.
Many seeking a divorce/family law attorney are under the impression that legal issues can be more readily resolved by selecting an attorney who is conveniently located to where they personally reside. The fact is, in this age of instant electronic communication and messaging, actual visits to an attorney’s office are often kept to a minimum. Driving some distance to retain a competent attorney who you feel very relaxed with and provides a comfort zone is well worth the occasional inconvenience of travel time. This is about improving your quality of life and protecting your future, not about the inconvenience of traveling time for infrequent office meetings.
