WHAT OBASI EMMANUEL NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THE LAWYER THAT WILL REPRESENT HIM IN COURT FROM 29TH SEPTEMBER 2026 AGAINST HIS CASE WITH JUDY AUSTIN.
Dear Obasi,
Any lawyer that will represent you in this case with Judy won't necessarily mean that he or she loves you. You will just be his client, and what the both of you will have will be a business/professional relationship. Never forget that during the process so you can be guided.
Remember the longer the case lasts, the longer a lawyer remains engaged professionally and the more money you continue to pay to him or her, So, don't allow emotions to cloud your judgment,know when to stop and when to continue.
Your lawyer's responsibility is to represent and defend you as his client to the best of his or her ability, But remember one important thing: he will not be the one standing in the witness box. You will, so know when you are being led astray and try and prevent it.
My advice to you is simple:
Even while you have a lawyer, stay involved enough to understand the direction of your case. If you believe something is taking you further away from your ultimate objective or creating more problems for you, ask questions and get clear clarification - Don't ever be intimidated by even the person you engaged to represent you.
Let your lawyer look for ways to resolve this matter where possible, rather than allowing the case to become unnecessarily prolonged because the more it is prolonged,the more money they make out of you and the more inconvenience you will face.
And sometimes, professional advice can involve considerations that you may not immediately understand. Apply wisdom. Ask questions. Understand the consequences before you agree to any major decision.
Finally, don't lose sight of the bigger picture.
If your ultimate goal is to see your children within the period of this case, then whatever legal strategy you pursue should be carefully considered against that objective.
Wisdom is profitable to direct.
Wishing you a successful outing.
