Divorce Forms – Finding A Lawyer During Divorce
First and foremost let us say that hiring a lawyer is only a good idea whenever you know for a fact that your divorce is going to be contested. Before you hire a lawyer, we strongly recommend that you talk with your ex, negotiate with your ex, and if possible, go ahead ahead and settle the divorce outside of court. Of course, following our advice is not always possible. In the event that you are unable to follow our advice or for whatever you think it in your best interest to hire a lawyer, then we suggest that you read the rest of this article.
Below is a list of three tips for finding a lawyer. So long as you will read the three tips, familiarize yourself with them, and then use them in your situation, the process of finding a lawyer should flow a lot smoother for you.
Again, just like we stated above, our advice is that you try to settle your divorce before moving forward with hiring a lawyer. If you think there is a strong chance that your divorce might settle outside of court, then we recommend that you and your ex try mediation during the early stages to see if maybe a mediator can help facilitate settlement.
Here are the three tips for finding a lawyer in your jurisdiction:
Tip Number One: Seek A Referral. The oldest and most effective way to find a lawyer is by getting a referral. Whenever you seek a referral be sure to ask only those people who you know and trust and of course, we recommend that you follow your common sense before acting on the referral.
Tip Number Two: Consult With Many Lawyers. Tip number two is not always possible because consulting with many lawyers takes time, precious time. In the event that you have time, we recommend that you meet with many lawyers in order to make sure that you find the right one for your case.
Tip Number Three: Ask A Lot Of Questions. Whenever you consult with a lawyer, do not be afraid to ask a lot of questions. The lawyer who you are meeting with is a professional and if he is a competent professional, he will be comfortable answering each one of your questions. For more information about what questions to ask during the initial consultation, we recommend that you take a look at some of our other articles.
