5 Ways to Make a Good Impression in Court

If you and your spouse can not peacefully finalize your divorce in an uncontested divorce process, you will have to go to court and have a judge make rulings on many issues such as child custody and the division of property and assets. You may not consider how much your wardrobe or appearance can play a part in a judge’s perception of you, but it can have a significant effect on important rulings.

If you are considering a divorce, you need a qualified legal representative on your side to help you every step of the way. Contact the Orlando divorce attorneys of the Schlegel Law Group today at 407-648-0280 to schedule a free consultation.

Dressing for the Occasion

Dressing appropriately for your court appearance is very important. By choosing a wardrobe and accessories that exhibit a healthy respect for the court and the proceedings at hand, you can help to increase the likelihood of being received with a positive impression. The following are some simple measures that can help you to make a good impression:

1. Take a shower, groom facial hair, clip fingernails, and comb your hair before entering the court room.
2. Avoid tank tops, T-shirts, shorts, or flip flops in the courtroom regardless of the temperature outside.
3. Dress conservatively and avoid outfits that are revealing or which are likely to draw attention.
4. Wearing a suit and tie is advisable for men. Wearing a blouse and skirt or pantsuit is suggested for women.
5. Tattoos and body piercings should be covered or removed, as appropriate. Women may consider wearing conservative earrings.
