“But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed, but not defeated.”
Ernest Hemingway – The Old Man and The Sea
The above quote comes from the story of the old fisherman who finally gets the fish, only to have it taken away before he gets to shore. While Hemingway was only writing a story, about a man and a fish, from a bungalow in Cuba in the early 20th century, it still remains true today. Sometimes despite our best endeavours and intentions, we can be destroyed, however, we only ever let ourselves be defeated. And sometimes in letting ourselves to not to be defeated means that we have to let go and move on. Here at DB Lawyers we help our clients let go and move on from the things that try to destroy them, and we ensure that they are never defeated. We do so in the following areas of law:
Wills:
You pass away suddenly, leaving your loved ones destroyed, but because you finally got around to going to DB Lawyers, you got that Will of yours finalised, setting out how things were to be when you not, and in so doing prevented the defeat of your family.
Estate Administration:
Someone you love passes away suddenly, and you find yourself as the executor of your loved one’s estate, with what feels like a thousand voices telling you what to do. But because you went to DB Lawyers, you now know what you have to do, and you have a trusted advisor to tell you how to go about it and be with you to help make those important decisions, and so that you are never defeated.
Family Law:
Your relationship is over, and you don’t know why. You seemed happy until you weren’t happy together anymore. You seemed like a pretty good team, had children to add some team members, bought a house and built a life, and because you built them as an extension of your relationship, you are not sure whether or not they are now over too. But because you consulted with DB Lawyers as quickly as you did, you know that everything will be as good as can be and that even though things are different, things are also better, and you were never defeated.
Criminal Law:
You and some of the girls from the office, go out to the pub for a few cocktails after work and thank god that drunken idiot hitting on the girls, annoying as he was got tossed out by the bouncer. But you didn’t realise that you were over the limit until after the breathalyser test. Now you’re going to lose your licence, and your job, and maybe your Manolo Blahnik’s. But because you saw DB Lawyers, you were able to keep your licence to work and able to keep your job and your Manolo’s, and not be defeated by one night of poor judgment.
Property Law:
You no longer have to pay rent when you finally have both the house of your dreams and the mortgage approval, but now you have to sign the contract and you’re not sure about the conditions of the contract and what it all means. But because you went to DB Lawyers, you now know what is going on and exactly what it means to go from tenant to homeowner, and you were not defeated by the process.
