Choosing an attorney for your divorce can be an overwhelming and difficult decision. Most people wonder, “How do I narrow down a Google search to find the right attorney for me?”
1. Compile a list of possible attorneys. A good online search, attorney online directories, local searches, and personal recommendations are great places to start in order to narrow down your search.
2. Meet with several attorneys before making your selection. It's important that the attorney you choose is not only someone with experience, but someone that you can see yourself working with. As the client, you should not only feel that you can trust your attorney, but that your personalities mesh to form a good working relationship. Keep in mind that just because someone comes highly recommended does not always mean that they are the best fit for YOU.
3. Choose an attorney who has experience in divorce cases. It's important to have an attorney that primarily focuses their practice on divorce work. If an attorney spreads their energy over various types of cases then they may be less aware of laws or outcomes that could apply to the facts of your specific case. By choosing an attorney with a specific focus in family law, there is greater likelihood that he or she has dealt with circumstances similar to yours and can best advise you how to walk through those things.
