Family law matters involving divorce, child custody, alimony, adoption and domestic violence can be extremely emotional. The outcome of your case will also have a significant impact on your life — as well as the lives of your children and other family members — for years to come. Consequently, choosing the right lawyer to represent you is a crucial decision. A compassionate, experienced Lawyer will handle your situation with the skill and care it requires while always keeping your best interests in mind.
At Ethical Legal Consultants, we recognize that selecting a divorce lawyer can be a challenging task. We’ve developed a list of questions to ask when choosing a Divorce Lawyer that can simplify the process and help you make an informed decision.
Is the Lawyer an expert in family law?
Some lawyers attempt to be a “jack of all trades” and will take on virtually any case. It’s better to choose a Lawyer who focuses much of their practice on Divorce related matters (especially those that are similar to your situation) to ensure you receive the expert representation you deserve.
Do you feel comfortable with the Lawyer?
You should be able to tell during an initial consultation with a lawyer if your personalities mesh. If they don’t, you’ll probably have a difficult time developing the trusting relationship that’s essential in divorce cases.
Are you getting satisfactory answers to your questions?
You’ll probably have a lot of questions about your case, especially in the beginning. A professional Divorce Lawyer will take the time to answer them thoroughly and make sure you understand all the steps in the legal process.
Is the lawyer accessible?
Questions and issues can arise at any time. The inability to get a prompt answer causes additional stress and keeps you in the dark. Ask the Divorce Lawyer about their process for keeping in touch with you as your case progresses and how you can reach them quickly if you need immediate help.
Does the Lawyer explain all of your options?
Most divorce cases will present several legal avenues that you and your Lawyer can pursue. A capable Lawyer will help you weigh the pros and cons of each option and articulate a strategy that is most likely to produce the best outcome for your situation.
Does the Lawyer have sufficient courtroom experience?
Your case could require you and your Lawyer to attend multiple hearings and possibly go to trial. Your lawyer should be willing and able to represent you in front of a judge if necessary.
How much will it cost to hire the Lawyer?
Fees can vary widely from one Lawyer to another. Your divorce lawyer should be willing to discuss costs upfront so you’ll know if their services will fit your budget. Discuss the possibility of working out a mutually agreeable payment arrangement if necessary.
