Choosing a Lawyer

One of the most important decisions to be made when going through a divorce is the choice of a lawyer. The other important decision is the process.

When you are choosing a lawyer, there are some important things to consider.

  • Are you comfortable with your lawyer?
  • Does he or she listen to you and understand you?
  • Has your lawyer explained the various divorce processes available such as:
  • The Kitchen Table divorce between you and your spouse
  • Mediation
  • Collaborative practice
  • Litigation or negotiations between lawyers that may include going to court if the lawyer negotiations do not resolve the issues
  • Have the potential costs of each of these options been explained to you?
  • Have the basic principles of family law been explained as they relate to the particular facts of your situation?
  • Has the lawyer asked about your goals and what is most important to you in this matter?

"I still believe that generosity is its own reward, that kindness will prevail. That might does not make right, that a soft answer turns away wrath. I still believe that there is power in gentleness, that there is more to us than flesh and bone. That life will bring more happiness if lived for peace and not possessions. I still believe people of gentleness and faith can change the world one unseen unsung unrewarded kindness at a time And nothing in this world can make me stop. THANK YOU FOR PROVING ME RIGHT AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!" Debbie
