Divorce can be scary and overwhelming and choosing the right divorce attorney can feel just as scary and overwhelming as facing the divorce itself. \u00a0It doesn\u2019t have to. \u00a0Here are a few quick tips to finding the right divorce attorney.<\/div>\n
One, it\u2019s not necessarily like shopping for car insurance, so don\u2019t feel like you have to consult with several different family law attorneys before choosing the right one. \u00a0Typically during a family law consultation, the potential client is given a lot of information, both about the attorney as well as what to expect during the divorce process. \u00a0This experience alone can cause anxiety and overwhelm, not to mention that you could forget important details that may help you in making a final decision. \u00a0Select maybe two or three tops and consult with them. \u00a0If none are a good fit, then move on to a new list. \u00a0Keep in mind too that not all attorneys offer free consultations, so you may have to pay for a consultation, which is another reason to keep your list small.<\/div>\n
Two, if you ask around for recommendations from friends, family, coworkers, etc., be sure to ask why the person is recommending that lawyer. \u00a0Is it because of his\/her knowledgeand experience, familiarity with the local practices and bench, is s\/he compassionate or aggressive. \u00a0If you chose to locate attorneys online, look for things to indicate that family law is the attorney\u2019s primary, if not sole, area of practice. \u00a0Look for things like articles the attorney has written or seminars that attorney has presented at. \u00a0You don\u2019t want a tax attorney who dabbles in family law. \u00a0You want an attorney who\u2019s primary, if not sole, practice is family law.<\/div>\n
Three, ask the attorney how often s\/he practices in the court where your case will be handled. \u00a0It\u2019s especially important in family law for attorneys to know the judges and if applicable, friend of the court for the court where they practice. \u00a0It can also be helpful to know if the attorney knows and has a relationship with opposing counsel, if there is an opposing counsel.<\/div>\n
Four, does the attorney have help (e.g., secretary, legal assistant, associate, etc.) or is s\/he on their own. \u00a0Family law attorneys are exceptionally busy people and the nature of handling a family law case requires time and attention. <\/div>\n
Five, how does the attorney handle case management and how is the overall divorce plan communicated to the client. \u00a0If the client has a clear understanding of how the case will move forward, it lessens the client\u2019s anxiety over the process as a whole.<\/div>\n
Finally, ask yourself if you feel that the attorney is being straightforward with you or only telling you what you want to hear. \u00a0It is especially important in family law to have realistic expectations and an attorney who only tells you what you want to hear is setting you up for frustration and disappointment<\/div>\n
