Divorce lawyer is a
crucial element in the success of your divorce case. He is the one who makes or
breaks your case. In deciding and choosing a suitable divorce lawyer for your
case, you need to evaluate how much your case is already resolved (i.e. what
issues are there on which you and your partner has no conflict). Selecting a
divorce lawyer who is appropriate for representing you is a tedious job, often
overlooked by couples, assuming the divorce to proceed in a way they had
planned.
Here is a list of
aspects to be considered before finalizing a divorce lawyer:
·
Cost
You
cannot ignore the cost factor in deciding on which divorce lawyer to hire. You
need to know his/her initial consultation fees and his/her overall fees
structure. You will have to see which firms and divorce lawyers your pocket can
pay for. Usually more experienced and established firms have higher fees. You
need to see what kind of representation you expect from your lawyer in order to
determine the amount you are willing to put in hiring a divorce lawyer.
·
Experience
Higher
the experience, the better is the lawyer. He has handled more cases and has
detailed knowledge of more specific cases. He knows the tactics and various
strategies of divorce, can handle complex legal procedure of financial and
property division. Though it is advisable to hire a more experienced lawyer,
but then if you don’t have too many complexities in your case then you can
settle with one who is not very established but with good credentials.
·
Strong
client testimonials
A
good reputation assures quality in the service of divorce lawyer. You must
cross check the lawyer’s credibility and success rate. Also, you should see whether
he is specializing in divorce family law. The divorce lawyer should be
authorized and recognized. Mere membership in a law firm is not enough to
support his professional competence.
·
Accessibility
Be
sure to select a lawyer who is conveniently accessible, in terms of distance as
well as his schedule. Most often clients complain of not getting enough
attention from their lawyer. Also remember that if your lawyer is located far
from your house and court, you have to pay for his travel expenses. It will be
difficult to commute daily and discuss your case details with him.
·
Interviewing
your attorney
People
getting divorced either jump to very famous, established divorce lawyers or
hire the one they first meet. Both the approaches are wrong. You should meet
different lawyers to judge where your case stands and who will be the best to
compete it. Prepare your documents and have it reviewed during the initial
consultation from every lawyer to understand who can fulfill your needs. Ask
questions and compare them with others to choose the one that is best suited
for your case.
·
Support
staff
Knowing
that support staff is capable and efficient is very important because they
assist lawyers in the back end. Without their efficiency, a lawyer cannot give
his best. Make sure to know the organization in which your divorce lawyer is
working. Check whether it is well established.
·
Comfort
level
Of
all the things, you should be comfortable and at ease with your lawyer in
discussing your case. If you feel that the lawyer is way too professional and
you are not comfortable with his style then don’t go with him since you would
feel hesitant all the time.
