Divorce is the big
decision of your life. While going through this process, you must be looking
for any lawyer who can settle your case. Remember, you can’t count on any
lawyer you come across. Make sure you choose experienced and right lawyer
who can guide you throughout the process of your divorce.
Here are the questions you must ask before hiring a divorce lawyer:
·
Are you a divorce expert, or are divorces
just a part of your practice? What is your experience in family law?
·
How many cases you have handled so far? Are
you a certified law specialist?
·
What do you think about my case?
·
What about the strategy for my case? How
long does it take to settle my case?
·
Will you be available throughout the
process? Will your assistant also be involved in my case? Should I meet him or
her?
·
What is your fee? What is your hourly rate?
Will you charge for the duration I involve with other lawyers, with paralegals,
and/or with secretaries?
·
What are the additional costs?
·
What do you think about the total cost of
this divorce?
·
Can I negotiate directly with my spouse?
How can I keep the cost of my divorce lower?
·
What are the tasks I can do myself to cut
down the fee you will charge me?
These are the essential questions you must ask a lawyer before hiring him or her for your divorce case. If you find his answers satisfactory, then you are good to do the hiring.
