About Therese Truelove

If only divorce was like a surgery, where you are anesthetized into a deep sleep and when you wake up, it’s all over.

Dissolution of marriage and healing require resolve and commitment. Resolving to adopt the right mindset will help you to get it right the first time and will greatly impact the outcome of your case. Being committed to fairness rather than revenge may even improve your most important relationships.

Resolve to work closely with your attorney with an open mind. Commit to being prepared and doing the homework that is asked of you. Embrace change. Know that your divorce will affect every aspect of your life, possibly for the better.

The legal system is a foreign land with its own language and customs. You will move through it much better if you proceed with a positive mindset, an open heart, and you learn to read the signs.

I believe in educating my clients. Once they understand a few principles about the law and procedure, they see how all related facts become useful tools with which to achieve their goals, amicably, or, if necessary, at trial. In the end, I want my clients to walk away with greater awareness of their lives, rather than of the limitations.

Essentially, the individuals who prevail and achieve emancipation on their own terms, with their dignity intact, are those who are active participants in their legal representation. Clear thinking is essential. Be willing to work for what you want to achieve. The more organized you are, the more organized your attorney will be. Commit to doing the homework that is asked of you. Pay attention. Be prepared. Go to the gym. Try to find your sense of humor.
