Questions To Ask Your Divorce Attorney
Before you hire an attorney for your divorce case, you should ask questions that will help to determine whether a lawyer is the best choice for your case. Below, we list five such questions and describe their importance.
Questions To Ask Your Divorce Attorney
Is Divorce the Main Focus of Your Practice?
To ensure your case receives the appropriate amount of attention, select an attorney whose core practice is divorce law. Attorneys specializing in multiple areas of law have to allocate their time appropriately, and although they may be proficient in divorce, alternative commitments could distract them. As a result, your attorney may not be able to spend the necessary time handling your case.
Have you dealt with numerous No Fault Divorces?
Although all lawyers are equipped to handle no-fault divorces, some prefer fault cases because they bring in more money. If you are interested in a no-fault divorce and your attorney predominately handles fault divorces, you should consider finding a different lawyer who specializes solving divorce cases outside the court system.
Will you be handling my Case Personally?
In situations where you speak with a known attorney, it isn’t a guarantee they are going to handle your case. It can be disconcerting when you are expecting that this person is going to personally handle your case and they do not. Even though it may not be terrible to your case, you don’t want to be taken by surprise if another attorney from the firm will be representing you.
