The dockets in the California trial court system are flooded with family law cases. If you think you are saving costs by having a public hearing, you may want to reconsider. You could actually end up paying more in the long run compared to private judging. Private judging is often more efficient and cost-effective than public hearings.

At the Law Offices of Hollie Lemkin, we bring well-rounded legal experience to each family law case we handle. Orange county divorce lawyer, Hollie Lemkin, advocates effectively for her family law clients by carefully balancing compromising and aggressive approaches for the best-possible results. This includes consulting with her clients about obtaining judging that is qualified, efficient and flexible. There is no need to drag out a divorce case. Contact our Orange County office for more information about private judging.

Benefits of Private Judging

Compared to public courthouses, which are backed up with caseload hearings and can take six months or more, a case before a private judge can be done in one week. For example, if you are seeking a divorce and go before the public court system, you initially may pay less. However, there is down time between hearings. Time between hearings is often weeks and months. All the time between hearings costs money. Every time you go back to court, there are extra hours spent preparing for the hearing and re-education of the case. Time is money and the longer your case runs, the more money you will ultimately spend.

Time Is Money

With private judging, you may initially pay more. However, there is no down time and no additional preparation time. Since you are paying for a judge's time, there is flexibility. The entire case can be heard in one week and during any week of the month. You will usually be in a conference room with back-to-back days of hearings. In the long run, you end up paying less money for your divorce or other family law matter.

Overall, private judging benefits include:

  • Efficiency: case can be done in one week
  • Flexibility: you can schedule the hearing for when it works best for you
  • Cost-effectiveness: costs can often be less in the long run
  • Confidentiality: the matter is kept private
  • Quality: you can decide who will personally preside over your case
