I will give you the same advice I give all my friends: find an attorney you like. Divorces are messy, stressful, and emotional, so you’ll want a friendly face on your corner. Someone you feel you can trust, someone you feel comfortable talking with, and most importantly, someone you trust to speak on your behalf. Because your attorney will be doing a lot of that during negotiations.
You can find a family law attorney you like by visiting websites like https://www.violaw.com/family-law/ and booking a consultation. That will get you to be face-to-face with your attorney, and you can use that time to discuss your case and see how comfortable you are talking with that person. You’ll be able to tell almost immediately if that’s someone you want to be working with for months. And if you’re not sure if that person is the right choice, book other consultations. Then, of course, you can always circle back and hire the first attorney later.
