Press Release Summary = Howard Iken, Divorce Attorney is on a mission: to make the process of divorce more understandable and consumer friendly. A major step toward
achieving his goal is the launch of a new online resource for people facing a divorce in Florida. The website gives easy to read legal information on divorce in layman’s terms. You can visit the website at http://www.18884MyDivorce.com

Press Release Body = The Divorce Center is a law firm practicing exclusively in divorce law in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. Founder and managing attorney Howard Iken guides the firm based on a personal mission: to make the process of divorce more consumer friendly, and more understandable.

Eight years ago Mr. Iken went through his own divorce, which was a life changing experience. At that time he was a business entrepreneur – not an attorney. Mr. Iken relates his experience: “I consider myself a very intelligent person; able to understand anything thrown at me. But divorce seemed like a giant black hole to me. It was a very scary process and I never understood how the whole thing worked. The scariest thing: my lawyer couldn’t answer my question about how much the whole thing would cost.”

After some research, Mr. Iken became interested in the challenge: to make divorce more consumer-friendly and understandable. The medical field responded to this
challenge a long time ago. Medical services are friendlier, faster, and more understandable. There is a wealth of medical information on the internet, accessible to the consumer. In contrast, the legal industry has not responded to consumer demand. Most people are so intimidated by the prospect of purchasing legal services, they go without a lawyer.

As a major step to achieve the ultimate goal of a consumer friendly divorce firm, Mr. Iken created The Divorce Center with an associated website, http://www.18884MyDivorce.com. Based on personal research, Mr. Iken feels this website is the finest resource for divorce law on the internet. Mr. Iken personally
wrote this storehouse of over 120 pages on divorce. New pages and subjects are constantly added. Streaming videos are scattered throughout the site - to help explain complicated concepts. One look at the website gives anyone an insight into Florida divorce law, and an insight into the personal passion Attorney Iken has for divorce clients.

The website also shows one of Attorney Iken’s goals for The Divorce Center: to make legal fees more predictable. The website prominently displays an entire page on fees for legal representation. Noticeably absent is an hourly rate. The Divorce Center bases their operation on flat fee billing. Approximate flat fees are detailed on the website. After a short in-person consultation, Attorney Iken quotes
people a guaranteed flat fee. This gives people the answer to the ultimate question Mr. Iken couldn’t get in his own divorce: “How much will this cost?”

The Divorce Center website, http://www.18884mydivorce , is an ideal resource both for do it yourselfers and people out to hire an attorney. Although the site concentrates on Florida law, it is a valuable resource for anyone facing a divorce.
