Finding An Attorney
How do I find an attorney who is a good fit for me?
Seeking representation for a legal issue can be intimidating at first, but there are a lot of great resources that can help you assess and choose the right attorney. By researching attorneys and firms online, checking their reviews, and asking people in your circle for referrals you’ll be off to a great start. Then, when you meet with an attorney for an initial consultation pay attention to the following:
Do you understand the information the attorney is providing?
Do you have a clear understanding of your options moving forward?
Do you like your attorney as a person and feel comfortable confiding in them?
How do I find a competent attorney who will produce a positive result?
Every family law attorney takes a different approach to resolving legal issues; you want an attorney whose style matches your own. Here are a few points to consider that can help you identify the right advocate for your particular case:
Do you want to resolve your matter without ever seeing the inside of a courtroom?
Do you want to contest many issues and have a strong advocate in the courtroom?
Do you prefer to mediate all issues in a less contentious and less costly fashion?
Do you want to do it yourself with some help from an attorney in the background?
Think it through, plan out your ideal process, then look for an attorney whose style matches your preferences and goals.
