Tips On Choosing A Family Law Attorney
As a family law attorney in Westlake Village, I’m often asked if I can give some tips on finding the right divorce attorney. I think it might be helpful to get an answer to this question from a third-party source. Here are a few tips from an article that first appeared in First Wives World, a website dedicated to providing support to recently divorced people. These tips, and the article itself, are written from the female perspective, but not bad advice for men or women. In addition, if you’re a man, this article will give you a bit of insight into the woman’s concerns and fears. This may help if you actually end up going through the divorce process — it may help you understand why your spouse is focusing on particular matters. In short, if you’re considering divorce and interviewing attorneys, the tips are:
- Don’t tell you spouse you’re looking for an attorney
- Look for an attorney who specializes in family law
- Ask friends for referrals
- Consider all aspects of the cost
- Prepare for your initial consultation
