Choosing an Attorney

Choosing a divorce attorney is one of the most important and personal decisions you will make. To make that decision your starting place should be the attorney’s website and social media. Look and see if the attorney regularly writes about divorce and family law issues. Read his or her post to get in an eye into the personality of that attorney. Do they write in plain language or in a legally technical fashion that’s hard for you to follow? Are they dry or do they have a sense of humor? These are important considerations as you will be dealing with this attorney in a very intimate fashion and you need to have someone that you can relate to. Look at the content of the blogs to discover how the attorney feels and thinks about the various issues you encounter in your divorce.

Client Reviews & Referrals

Next, you should look at independent sites that have client reviews to see how others have felt about the attorney. Overall, you should try to learn as much as you can about the person who is about to take you through the most emotionally challenging time in your life. Finally, talk to your friends and family that have gone through a divorce and find out what qualities you should look for in a divorce attorney. You should also consult with any attorneys that you know to see if they have any recommendations or can give you an opinion on an attorney you have found. Choosing a divorce attorney isn’t easy, nor should it be. Don’t be tricked into thinking that there is a perfect attorney or hiring an attorney at a big firm means you’re getting the right attorney for you.
