Helpful tips when selecting a Divorce Attorney

Selecting the right Florida divorce attorney is a very important decision people must make in any divorce matter. When you come in for a consultation ask the lawyer some of these questions

  • How many years are you practicing divorce or family law?
  • Do you only handle divorce cases or do you do many different types of law?
  • Do you already work with experts that may have to be engaged in order to help me in my case?
  • What percentage of cases do you settle?
  • Have you gone before judges for a trial regarding my particular issue?
  • What retainer do you require and what is your hourly billing rate?
  • What is the law as it pertains to my situation?

After meeting with the divorce attorney ask yourself several questions.

  • Did the lawyer seem to care about my case?
  • Did the lawyer know the law?
  • Did I feel comfortable with the attorney or was I intimidated by them?
  • Did the lawyer listen to my problems?
  • Did the lawyer tell me the truth about my divorce or did they merely tell me what I wanted to hear. Remember, good attorneys always tell the truth.
