Divorce Attorneys

Before you hire the divorce lawyer who will represent your rights in court, you will probably want to schedule one or two initial consultations with lawyers who have been referred to you. At your initial meeting, the law office should give you, in broad terms, advice as to what you may expect with regards to child custody, visitation and support; division of property and maintenance or alimony. You should take careful notes during this meeting. While many divorce lawyers do not charge for initial consultations, some of the more prestigious divorce attorneys will charge you for this meeting. You will need to determine if the reputation of the attorney with whom you want to consult merits the cost involved. Some lawyers will provide you with a written transcript of your consultation and the advice you were given. This certainly may warrant the costs involved.

Following your initial consultation you will hopefully be able to determine if you and the law office are compatible and if you can trust him or her. This feeling of “good chemistry” is difficult to describe but you will instinctively know when the relationship is right.

Going through a divorce is one of the most difficult experiences a person can experience, short of the death or illness of a loved one. You need a compassionate, intelligent and experienced divorce attorney working with you to protect your rights and establish fair and equitable child and spousal monetary support.
