Protective Financial Attachment Style - “Money as Security”

The Protective financial style views money as security. A full bank account and a vast retirement portfolio means that life can be stress-free and that all their needs can be met. This style prefers that their savings remain untouched.

One of the most common complaints I hear about the Collaborative Process is the requirement that the Collaborative attorneys cannot continue to represent the clients in litigation if the process is terminated, i.e., the dreaded disqualification requirement. 

I hear this from attorneys and clients alike. In talking to attorneys who harbor objections to the Collaborative Process because of this requirement, I have determined that most of them don't truly understand the purpose of the requirement.

Like most Collaborative Professionals, I have found myself working almost exclusively from home.  Though I had worked from home in the past, I always had the option of going into the office to access needed equipment (such as an industrial scanner) that made life easier.  Now, not so much.  Fortunately, I had some software in place that made the transition to an at-home practice easier, and I have had to quickly learn new software.
