Navigate Your Divorce or Family Law Matter with Confidence: The Roadmap Planning Session

We offer a free 15 min introduction call to potential clients. 

Most people, however, who want our help have many questions and need more than 15 minutes on the phone.  To best introduce you to the way Erin and the team works, as well as to answer your divorce, parenting, or family law questions and start working toward your family or parenting goals, we offer a Roadmap Planning Session with Erin via Zoom. 

When Facing Divorce or Parenting Issues, These Questions Often Arise:

• Where do I currently stand?
• What future do I envision?
• What steps will get me there?

At Birt Family Law, our Roadmap Planning Session is specifically designed to help you find answers to these crucial questions. This session offers a clear path forward, tailored to your unique circumstances, values, and goals.

Hear What Our Clients Say:

“The session provided exactly what I needed—a clear strategy and valuable insights. For the first time, I felt I received more value than I paid for, I got to chose my own path based on my needs and budget.”

“Your guidance not only clarified my goals but also empowered me to approach my situation with newfound confidence.”

“The combination of having my questions answered and feeling genuine understanding is something I truly appreciate. Thank you for your compassion.”

What is the Roadmap Planning Session?

The Roadmap Planning Session is a comprehensive, objective meeting designed to help you understand your current situation, identify your future goals, and craft a personalized plan to achieve them. This session goes beyond typical legal "consultations" by offering unbiased advice with your best interests at heart.

Why It Stands Out:

• Impartial Advice: Erin does not represent either parent at this meeting, ensuring that the time together is dedicated solely to providing you with the best possible guidance for your family.
• Tailored to You: The session is focused on your individual needs, ensuring that the plan we develop is aligned with your core values and what matters most to you.

How Does the Session Work?

Session Length: This in-depth session lasts for one to two hours, depending on size of the estate, allowing ample time to thoroughly explore your situation and options.

1. Understanding Your Position: We will ask you to fill out a form before the session. At the session, we will begin with a detailed discussion of your current circumstances. You'll have the opportunity to ask all your questions, and Erin will provide a clear explanation of your options and perhaps how other similar cases have handled similar situations.

2. Exploring Your Options: Next, we'll examine the different paths available to you. For instance, we'll discuss whether you need mediation, legal representation, expert guidance, and, if so, how to choose the right family law path and professional guidance from the many professionals available. 

3. Aligning with Your Values: We'll dive into the principles and beliefs that guide your decision-making. This ensures that the plan we create is not only strategic but also true to your values.

4. Creating Your Roadmap: In the final phase, we'll bring everything together into a detailed, actionable plan—and you pick your personal roadmap to achieving your goals.

What Does It Cost?

The Roadmap Planning Session is priced on a sliding scale, based on the estimated value of your Marital Estate. This structure ensures the service is accessible to those who need it. Note, this fee is credited to any one of our 3 service packages selected by the client:

1 Hour Planning Session:

Marital Estate Less than $500,000: Fee = $400
Marital Estate $500,000 to $1.5 M: Fee = $600

1.5 Hour Planning Session & 30 Minute Analysis:

Marital Estate $1.5 M – $3.0 M: Fee = $800
Marital Estate Over $3.0 M: Fee = $1000

The fee can be paid by credit card or ClientCredit + Affirm to confirm your appointment. Upon scheduling, our office will send you a payment link via email and the payment link is also available here. Once the payment is processed and confirmed by our firm, and our requested e-forms are completed by you, our office will share the Zoom details with you. 

Our friendly staff members are also available to help you with Zoom or payment prior to the meeting.  Karen would be happy to spend 15 minutes performing a test Zoom call and you can find more information about Zoom here.

During our time together, we may discuss any of the following:

1. Why you need our help, what your major concerns are, and what outcomes you are hoping to achieve.
2. Over 90% of our clients are able to reach satisfactory settlements and never see the inside of a courtroom.

We look forward to scheduling your planning session and learning more about you and your goals.  Please feel free to contact us to schedule or learn more at (630) 891-2478. All inquiries are held confidential.

**Please note all timelines and anticipated outcomes discussed during this meeting are estimates and not guarantees. Many things ultimately effect and influence the timing and costs associated with a family law matter (emotions, illness, document delays, expert needs or delays, holidays, lack of cooperation, local court rules, court procedures, etc.). Your fees may exceed any service package we offer or discussed at the planning session. To raise your awareness before your Roadmap Planning Session you may want to review, for illustrative purposes only, an estimate for legal services or an estimate for mediation . We will, however, discuss at the planning session our current 3 levels of support and the various flat fees offered by our firm. Please note that any service level selected can be renewed as needed to meet the needs of your situation.
