If you are considering a divorce, then hiring an attorney is absolutely essential to the success of your case! Choosing an attorney that will meet your needs can be difficult. Here are a few different aspects that you should consider.
- Experience: ask the attorney how long he or she has been in practice. An attorney that has recently graduated from law school may not have the experience you need to be successful. Look for a lawyer that has had at least a few years in practice.
- Specialization: find out if the lawyer specializes in divorce and family law. Attorneys who focus on a few areas usually have more extensive knowledge about relevant issues and recent law updates.
- Results: has the attorney had favorable outcomes in a case like yours? Ask about the firm's recent successes. If he or she hasn't won a case in a few years, then this may be an indication that they will not be able to help you either.
- Personal Attention: inquire about who will be handling your case. You want an attorney who will personally oversee your case, rather than the firm's paralegal or associate. If the associate or paralegal will be handling the case, even in part, you should find out their credentials as well.
- Communication: if you have questions or concerns, then you want a legal representative who will return your calls promptly. If you notice that the firm has a difficult time responding to your inquiries, then this may be an indication that they will not answer you during your case as well.
