Selecting a divorce attorney is a critical decision making process. The person who you hire will be
responsible for obtaining or maintaining your custody rights to your children, your property
interests, and depending upon the side you are one, either minimizing or maximizing your support
rights.
In reality, selecting a divorce attorney is also an incredibly stressful experience. Do it right and
you can breath easy. Do it wrong and you will spend years making up for losses that might have
been prevented.
There are a few tried and true tactics that you should be using when you select a divorce attorney.
Before you even begin, you need to identify the type of case that you will be involved in. Will you
be mediating your divorce? Will you be negotiating? Or, will your case be one of those cases that
goes to court and becomes a knock down, drag out divorce litigation?
There are divorce attorneys who specialize in these different types of cases and you need to hire
the type of divorce attorney who is best suited to the type of case that you have. If you need to
deal with a knock down, drag out litigation, you do not want a mediation attorney trying to protect
your interests. Likewise, if you are going through mediation, the last thing you want is a divorce
attorney who will try to create issues and move you towards litigation.
So, step one in the process of selecting a divorce attorney is to identify the type of case that you
have. Next, start asking people for help. Since the divorce rate in the United States is at about
50%, chances are you know at least several people who have been through a divorce. Ask about
their process, how they selected a divorce
attorney, and how their attorney performed for them.
AFter you have received the names of several divorce attorneys that you received from asking
other people, go online and start researching those attorneys and others. Many divorce attorneys
have websites, write articles, and advertise on divorce portal websites. You can get quite a bit of
information about how an attorney approaches cases and treats clients by reviewing their website.
After you have reviewed the divorce attorney websites, make a list of at least two and as many as
five divorce attorneys who you think you will be comfortable speaking with. Call the offices of
those divorce attorneys and schedule consultations. Some of those attorneys will charge you for a
consultation; the more experience the attorney has, the more likely that you will have to pay for
time with that attorney.
When you attend a consultation with a divorce attorney, be prepared. Make an outline of the
history of your marriage and the problems facing you now. If you or your spouse has filed any
papers in court, make sure you bring them with you. Bring one or two years tax returns or a recent
financial statement so that the divorce attorney can review some of your financial data before
being asked questions about "results".
Make sure you ask each divorce attorney questions about how that attorney's office operates in
response to client phone calls, emails, or other inquiries or needs. If you will be working with a
divorce attorney who has no other attorney in their office, be prepared to wait in line when you
have a need for a response. That attorney will have other clients who have needs just as
significant as yours, and an attorney can be responsive to only one client at a time. Even with that
drawback, there may be a divorce attorney who you feel is just right for you who is also a solo
practitioner. That is a trade off that you may have to get comfortable with.
After you have completed all of the consultations and reviewed the answers to all of your
questions, decide which divorce attorney you felt most comfortable with and which one you believe
will work with you to get the type of results that you want.results that you want.
