Lawyers Who Specialize in Narcissistic Abuse
If you’re going up against a narcissist in a legal case, buckle up. This is not going to be a normal case. Legal negotiations with high conflict personalities commonly last three times longer and cost four times as much.
It won’t be enough to get a competent and experienced lawyer. You’ll need one who is competent, experienced, AND has specific experience dealing with high conflict personalities. Otherwise, you stand to lose massive amounts of time and money. And that’s not all. As the negotiations drag on, you’ll be sucked into an emotional firestorm that will drain your mental and physical stamina.
Unless you’re up for that hellish rollercoaster, you’ll want to enlist the help of the right lawyer.
How Do I Find a Lawyer Who Specializes in Narcissistic Abuse?
You can’t exactly go to Google or Yelp and search for a lawyer who has experience with narcissists. That’s not a typical search category (though with narcissists on the rise, we think it should be).
Rather, you’ll need to know the right questions to ask potential lawyers. These questions will help you find a lawyer who understands narcissism and can be your best ally in your legal proceedings.
Beyond that, you need to learn the tools for empowering your lawyer to win your case. After all, lawyers aren’t all-knowing gods, and you’ll be at a major disadvantage if you sit back and expect them to be.
Lawyers build a case based on the facts and evidence they have access to and present that case according to their knowledge of the law. So it’s up to you to give your lawyers the evidence that will help win your case.
When it comes to building a case against the narcissist in your life, all of the best information—the leverage—is in your hands, and you must pass it on to your attorney.
How SLAY® Helps
If you need a good lawyer on your side to represent you against the narcissist in your life, the SLAY® Your Negotiation With a Narcissist program can help you find the right one. The program can also help you provide your lawyer with the right ammunition so you get the most out of your legal battle.
The SLAY program includes the BEST Lawyer Triple Threat Package for finding the right lawyer. It provides you with:
A “Find the Best Lawyer” Bonus Module
This will help you learn how to identify lawyers who are experienced in dealing with narcissists. Remember, narcissists aren’t like other people. They don’t fight fair, and they don’t want the same things as you do.
More than anything, you want to get what you need out of your case and move on with your life. But narcissists are fine battling you indefinitely if it feeds the “diamond level supply” they crave. This diamond level supply could include praise, prestige, or power. They’ll do whatever it takes to protect it.
This bonus module will help you find lawyers near you who understand narcissists and are masters in negotiation and conflict resolution. They know that narcissists want to protect their supply more than anything else. They can play to that desire while helping you get exactly what you want out of the settlement.
Smart Screening: Questions for Vetting Attorneys
When you meet with a potential attorney, you need to find out how they’re going to handle your case and deal with the narcissist in your life. But how do you do this if you can’t see them in action?
The solution lies in asking the right questions. We will send you into that meeting armed with laser-like questions. These questions will help you learn some key things about your attorney:
1. Are They a Narcissist Negotiation Specialist?
Do they have the experience to know how to work with narcissists and feed their supply while getting you what you want out of the case? Standard negotiation tactics won’t work. You need someone who is a master negotiator and understands the psyche of a narcissist.
2. Will They Fight for You?
Even lawyers can be beaten down by narcissists. You need a lawyer who will go to the mat for you in the face of a high conflict personality and persist in advocating for your needs in strategic ways.
3. Will They Be Accessible?
How will a potential lawyer communicate with you? Will it be via email, phone, or text? Can you meet with them regularly to discuss the details of your case? Can you contact them quickly for time-sensitive questions? So much rides on your case; the last thing you need is a lawyer you can’t reach.
4. Are They Open to Your Input?
While you certainly want to let your lawyer do their job, you will also need to provide them with the information they need to win your case. The SLAY program contains guidelines for presenting the best evidence to beat the narcissist.
“Make My Lawyer My Ally” Packet
This is the big game-changer because it helps you and your lawyer get on the same page to deal with the narcissist. This packet helps ensure that your lawyer doesn’t use the same old strategies that will not work with narcissists. And it helps you get your lawyer all the right information for representing you effectively.
The SLAY program will give you timelines to keep your case on track and guidance for gathering and documenting the most compelling evidence to propel your legal case forward.
This can come from emails, text messages, witnesses, videos, photos, journals, records of late payments, etc. It can also come from summaries documenting lies and inconsistent statements from your narcissistic partner.
You can learn ways to use depositions or subpoenas to create leverage in negotiations. You’ll get help for finding assets and income that your partner may have hidden from you. You’ll also learn drop-the-mic phrases for disarming narcissists.
You’ll learn how to leverage technology like Chat GPT to write motions, practice cross-examinations, and anticipate what the narcissist’s team will argue. This is all part of the SLAY program’s proprietary curated AI system that can serve as your personal aid in building a killer case.
Without help, you could very easily end up spending close to $100,000 on legal fees and be put through the emotional wringer day after day. But it doesn’t have to be this way. If you can find a good lawyer who specializes in narcissistic abuse, you stand to save tens of thousands of dollars and take back your sanity, too.
What if My Attorney is a Narcissist?
Unfortunately, this can happen. We have seen cases where the very person who is supposed to help a client out of a high conflict situation is introducing more conflict into their lives. The Get the BEST Lawyer Package can help you avoid this situation, and if you’re already in it, SLAY’s master negotiation techniques can help you get out of it with as little damage as possible.
