Discovery

I defer to Alabama Family Law Blog for a good post explaining the discovery process. I have intended to write a series of articles on the discovery process but have not been able to get to them. Meanwhile, I suggest Discovering Hidden Assets as a good place to start for understanding the discovery process.

My client now understands it was to her benefit to make sure we did a thorough job of discovery. Obviously this example (though completely true) is not what usually happens - at least not to this degree. But, the lesson is a good one - make sure that your lawyer does a thorough job of discovery. And, make sure that you let him.
