James Sexton is a New York City-based family lawyer and best-selling author of books, How To Stay In Love, and If You re In My Office, It s Already Too Late, and is an expert at helping partners.
If you want to know how to keep your car running, ask a mechanic. If you want the lowdown on caring for your pipes, call your plumber. Why? Because people who deal with things when theyâre broken often know the most about how to keep them in good repair. James J. Sexton thinks the same principle applies to divorce lawyers.
In his book,
If Youâre in My Office, Itâs Already Too Late, the 20-year veteran of every kind of divorce imaginable dishes out advice on how to avoid needing his services based on his up-close experience of marital breakdown. It might not be the first place youâd look for relationship advice, but when you think about it, it makes a lot of sense.
