If your case is contested and/or you prefer to hire an attorney to represent your interests in the divorce process, you can retain the legal services of Douglas G. Lamar who, as your attorney, will protect your legal interests and obtain court orders and a Judgment of Dissolution.

Douglas G. Lamar has been a family law attorney in Contra Costa County since 1/1/1982. He has operated his independent law office and has represented thousands of clients through the court system over the past 26 years.

Fifteen years ago Douglas G. Lamar and his wife, who was a legal secretary and paralegal with over 20 years experience, saw the need to also assist clients through the court system without an attorney, and and therefore at a much lower cost.

Divorce Yourself paralegal service was then created (now known as Divorce yourself legal document preparation services). This service provides a full range of services to clients in all aspects of family law form restraining orders to custody and support, and division of community property and division of pension and retirements. As a client of this service you represent yourself (without an attorney) and the service prepares all your documents and we file them at court for you.

The unique part of Divorce Yourself service is the attorney always consults with you at the beginning of your case, to ensure you start out in the right direction given the individual legal issues in your case.

Additionally, if you start your case with Divorce Yourself representing yourself, you can at any point during your case decide to hire Douglas G. Lamar (or any attorney of your choosing) to represent your legal interests at court.

Initial Retainer fees range from $3,000 to $5,000 depending upon the legal issues involved in your case; however an initial consultation is only $100.

We offer the best of both worlds.
