At McGill Law, Female Focused Does Not Equal Female Exclusive
I frequently hear “female focused must mean that your firm does not serve male clients.” But the exact opposite is true. Yes, McGill Law is female focused but that does not equate to female exclusive.
We pride ourselves on working with and for families going through some of the most difficult moments in their lives. We believe that everyone deserves effective representation, especially through divorce, custody, and separation. Currently, we have male clients who are seeking counsel for a multitude of reasons including contentious custody disputes, uncontested divorces, litigated divorces, and modification of child support to name a few. Other members of our firm are assisting men in their collaborative divorces, mediations, and probate matters. We represent these clients with compassion, integrity, and respect, regardless of their gender. We do not treat male clients any differently than our female clients as our main objective is and will always remain providing our clients with excellent legal representation.
McGill Law is comprised of an all-female staff, so our perspective is from that of a female. We can understand how many of our female clients are feeling because much of that is familiar, therefore, we have provided services that may be more readily tailored to a female audience. We have taken many steps to seek our male clients’ perspectives and ideas on how to better our services. We have also found that our female perspective is the same reason many males want to work with us. We can often understand the other party’s feelings, adding yet another layer of guidance and benefit to our clients.
Divorce and custody matters are difficult for everyone, regardless of gender. The amount of stress that an individual and their family goes through during this process is often equated to grieving the death of a loved one. We want to ease that burden for you and help you form a better life.
It is not uncommon to observe others in our field just going through the motions and unavailable or unwilling to consider their client’s emotional needs.
We work closely with our clients to focus on effective co-parenting, which sometimes includes referrals to a family therapist or other qualified specialist. We discuss our client’s individual goals and brainstorm creative ways to obtain them. We work closely with other professionals to assist our clients in obtaining a mortgage or refinance a home, financial planning, therapy, or whatever they may need to put themselves in a place that is better than they were before.
If you believe that you or someone that you know would benefit from our compassionate approach, please have them give us a call!
