Why Seek A Second Opinion?
When facing an important decision that will have a major impact on your life, it might be advisable that you do not rely only on one opinion. Just like visiting the doctor and receiving a diagnosis, if you have questions about your legal rights and options regarding a family law issue, it is not unreasonable to seek out a second opinion.

Should You Get A Second Opinion On Your Case Or Judgment?
There are many situations where seeking a second opinion from our lawyers can help you make an informed decision about how to proceed with your case. For instance:
- Are you being advised to sign a prenuptial agreement? We can evaluate the terms and help you negotiate.
- Do you believe that you are making a lot of concessions concerning child custody or property division in your divorce case? Before you enter into a final divorce decree, we can see if there is a different arrangement that might be more beneficial. We are creative problem-solvers who know how to think outside the box.
- If you have been advised to settle but would like to know if going to trial might be a better option, we can offer a second opinion explaining the possible outcomes and what we believe are your chances based on your case.
- If you have been told a trial is your best option, before you invest money and time in litigation that can produce an unknown outcome, speak with our law firm. There might be additional options to reach a settlement that is available that should be looked into, and we can help you utilize them, such as mediation.
- If a judgment has already been entered, we can analyze if you are eligible for a set-aside or an amendment.
- Has your attorney told you that you are not eligible for a modification? Our knowledge and legal acumen allow us to shape arguments, negotiate, and present cases effectively when we see circumstances that have changed and are grounds for modifying or appealing an order.
We handle every second opinion situation on a case-by-case basis. Our Henderson family law attorneys will carefully listen to your situation. We will then assess your situation based on what current Nevada law allows and the complexities of your case. In some circumstances, we can provide you with information and an opinion to take to your attorney.

Time Is Of The Essence
We also provide second opinions for other types of legal matters, including whether to accept a plea for a criminal defense charge or if you have been advised to settle in a personal injury case. However, in all of these situations, time is of the essence. There are statutes of limitations on filing a claim, an appeal, or contesting a judgment or offer. The sooner you contact us for a second opinion, the sooner we can help you see what options are available and help you pursue them before time runs out.
