If you are getting divorced, one of the most important steps you can take right now is hiring an experienced attorney to represent you. Of course, not every divorce is the same, so it is crucial to choose an attorney who can handle the unique challenges involved in your case.
What to Look for in a Divorce Attorney
Divorce is a deeply personal matter and you will be spending a considerable amount of time with your attorney, which is why it is essential to choose someone you feel comfortable with.
Here are some other tips for choosing the right divorce attorney for your case:
- Is your divorce contested or uncontested? Understanding what type of divorce process you need will play a major role in selecting a lawyer, so take some time to determine what path you want to take. If you and your spouse want to keep your divorce out of court, you will want an attorney who is experienced in alternative dispute resolutions. If you expect a high-conflict divorce, you should opt for a more aggressive attorney with extensive litigation experience.
- Set realistic expectations. Your divorce attorney is not your coach or your therapist. Instead, their job is to focus on the key issues of your divorce and protect your interests. Understanding your attorney’s role in your divorce from the get-go will help you choose the right one.
- Prepare a list of questions to ask when you start interviewing attorneys. For example, find out how long they have been practicing family law, if they have experience handling cases like yours, and how often you will receive updates about your case. You should also inquire about their rates.
Your divorce attorney should be someone you can trust who is knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. Given the impact your divorce will have on your life, making the right choice is important for the success of your case.
