Yes, lawyers can seem intimidating, but we are all just humans. We have the exact same problems and worries as you do. The only difference is our occupation.
Take dentists, for instance. Many of us are scared of them, but these people are there to save you from pain and make sure you will be smiling with a healthy shining smile.
Lawyers are the same - they do want to relieve you from your pain and make sure everything works out for you. Nevertheless,
family matters could be very complicated but having a lawyer beside you changes the game completely.
