THE PROFESSIONAL ETHICS OF THE LAWYER WHO DEAL WITH FAMILY LAW

Family law is a very particular area of ​​law in that the lawyer has to deal with very delicate situations in which the balance and personal situations of a family that is falling apart are involved.

How to choose the right lawyer to solve these conflict situations?

You need to look for an expert lawyer, never choose him for friendship or sympathy, but for competence and only for competence!

The lawyer who deals with family law does not simply limit himself to respecting the rules of professional services, but is called to a quid plus and that is to ask himself questions before acting by asking himself many questions, first of all: “If I do this what will be the consequences and towards whom? ” This makes it clear how the familiarist lawyer must not only protect, defend his client, but is called to perform a more important function: a social function. In fact, the family is defined in art. 29 of our Constitution “[…] as a natural society founded on marriage”.

In family law, the attorney’s modus agendi is different from that held in a claim for damages or in a credit recovery procedure … where there is the clash between the opposing parties; in family law, on the other hand, the affects and feelings of people are at stake and to resolve these conflicts, clashes with the counterpart colleague must be avoided. You do not need a warmongering lawyer, but a serious, prepared, correct, clear, listener, counselor … who without ever stripping of his role, that is, the protection and defense of rights, always maintains due objectivity.

In short, the lawyer – in charge of carrying out a separation procedure – must choose procedural strategies free from vengeful intentions, but inspired by the well-being of the family, and, in the presence of minors inspired by the serene and balanced growth of the same.

The family lawyer must therefore possess professional ethics aimed at facilitating the solution of family conflicts because in this area of ​​law there are neither losers nor winners; in fact, to the spouse who turns to my studio saying: “I want to ruin my ex, punish him in the worst way”, with elegance I reply: “He didn’t turn to the right studio”.
