I found another lawyer thru a woman buddy I knew, she was in the middle of her divorce. The fit was great, I got along with them, they listened to me.
Advice.. go prepared.
Time is money at the firms.
so.. have all your assets listed, house, the value of it.. etc.. cars, pensions, joint investments, bank accounts, time shares, everything that will have to be either sold or split up.
The names, birthdates, of the children
if you have these things already listed on a piece of paper you can hand that to them and save time.
Think about what you want.. what you will require to live on your own. Be realistic, what you will need to raise two children, assuming you have the children.
Good plan to list all the assets.. it will give you a clear idea from where you stand financially.
You should have his/her cell...he/she should be your new best friend.
Will you be nickel n dimed for phone calls, faxes, mailings?
What is their gameplan for you and your case in getting you what YOU want.
Make sure they are working for you.. and they are making you a priority... and yes.. ask their success rate.
very good points everyone... and I think going for the free consultation and asking blunt questions is the way to find the right fit.
don't go too cheap cos it will take longer.. sometimes working with a Go to It!..Shark will get the job done faster and cheaper in the end.
I made an appointment with the one that had a reputation for making stbx's very afraid..
Went to the appt. only to find out that he would not represent me..ex is a cop with a lot of cases out there.
Mean lawyer called 5 lawyers for me before he found one that would take my case.
In the end..I didn't need a mean Lawyer. Mine was great at talking with my ex and avoiding fights.
I called someone I knew of who had a very nasty battle and got his referral.
