Initially, Albuquerque divorce attorney Camille Pedrick planned on becoming a corporate transactional attorney. She had a change of heart, however, while clerking for a prominent family law attorney while in law school.. During that experience, she witnessed the attorney’s zealous advocacy for her clients. She watched as the attorney litigated everything from high-profile, high-asset divorces to custody cases who had nothing to fight for but their children.. At that point, Ms. Pedrick realized what she wanted to do.. “I realized the importance of a good and competent domestic relations attorney and wanted to do the same in my legal career,” Ms. Pedrick said.. Ms. Pedrick works efficiently and attempts to clarify and define her client’s legal issue and works toward satisfactorily resolving it.. There are many unknowns associated with divorce. Many ups and downs come with the process. While the experience can seem like a lonely one, Ms. Pedrick works tirelessly to make sure her clients know they have a fierce advocate in their corner.. “This process will, at times, seem overwhelming,” Ms. Pedrick said. “A good attorney will answer your questions initially, but also continue to educate you on the process during the entire case so that you can make appropriate decisions in resolving your legal issue.”
