| | Our Philosophy |
Every attorney and every law firm has its own legal philosophy. It is important that you choose attorneys to represent you who have a philosophy with which you are comfortable.
A High Quality Result
At John H. Carney & Associates, we view ourselves as problem solvers, whose main goal is to help you resolve your legal issues as quickly and efficiently as possible. We seek to obtain a legal result that is suited to your needs, while thoroughly addressing the issues in your case.
We attempt to achieve that result at the lowest cost possible. We realize that litigation is expensive and that people need to save their money to invest in their future and the future of their children. However, we also believe it is important to achieve a sound legal result that will not create more litigation down the road. We aim to resolve all the legal issues that can reasonably be decided at the time of representation so you can turn your attention and financial resources to other matters.
It is important to invest an adequate amount of money at the outset. Sometimes people try to avoid the expense of litigation and end up with a legal result that is not only less than satisfactory, but may be more expensive to fix in the long run. It is expensive to re-litigate issues that were not properly resolved the first time. There are some legal decisions that cannot be "undone" once they are made. Therefore, it is crucial that you be willing to make the investment necessary to achieve a high-quality result. It is our job to make sure that your money is spent wisely.
It's About People..... You & Your Family
Money, of course, is not the only issue involved in litigation. A significant part of our "problem solving" philosophy is about people. We realize that divorce and custody fights are emotionally difficult for everyone. People, especially children, are often deeply scarred for years by the ugliness of legal battles. One of our primary goals is to achieve the best result with as little nastiness as possible. Sometimes litigation is the only effective way to achieve the result that is in the best interests of you and your family. However, it is not our goal to litigate when a high-quality settlement can be reached in other ways.
Attorneys are expensive. We take very seriously both our obligation to utilize your resources wisely and our intention not to make you and your children "victims on the battlefield." We believe that it is in our interest to practice according to this philosophy. A law firm’s reputation is important in a town like Dallas. In the end, if you’re satisfied with the legal services you’ve received, you’ll be more likely to recommend us to your family and friends.
