How To Pick A Divorce Lawyer: 18 Tips To Get the Right Lawyer and Save Time, Money and Regret (English Edition)

Many people are in a panic or a fog when they are setting their initial meeting with a divorce attorney. Perhaps you are angry and eager to get the case started, or have just been served papers and your world is upside down. Did you just discover financial issues that you see no way out from under, or assets you had no idea even existed? Are there infidelity issues, abuse issues or custody issues? Are you or your spouse about to inherit money? Is the divorce mutual and amicable, or will the issues be contested to the fullest extent possible? What is the level of trust between you and your spouse? Has the relationship simply run its course and you and your spouse have drifted apart? How educated are you with respect to the finances? Do you need a divorce to allow yourself a fresh start? Have you given up career options for your spouse and family? Should you hire a man, a woman, or a team? Are you likely headed to a trial, a mediated settlement, or an arbitrated decision? Do you have/need/want other professionals on your team such as an accountant, financial representative, coach, or other expert, and how will your attorney work with these other resources? These are only a few of the many questions you need to ask yourself BEFORE you begin to look for a potential attorney.
