Given the serious nature of the issues addressed, the executive producers of Family Law make every effort to insure that the show is as authentic as possible. Among the large team of professionals working to accomplish this goal are the show’s legal consultants.

These attorneys and researchers are involved with each facet of the production. They work closely with the producers and writers, finding true stories, reviewing new story ideas and shaping legal strategies. They study each script to see that the dialog and courtroom procedures are accurate. Every legal proposition is thoroughly researched so that all sides of the often-controversial issues the show tackles are explored and the current state of the ever-changing law is accurately portrayed.

Our consultants are also involved with the “look” of Family Law. They work with the directors, production designers, set decorators, props and wardrobe departments so that everything seen in the courtrooms or the offices of Holt & Associates is realistic. This attention to detail helps add the edge of realism to characters and stories which critics and audiences have praised.
