How to Choose the Right Divorce Attorney?

by David L Martin Law Offices of David L. Martin, Esq. PC

There are not many things more stressful than going through a divorce. A qualified divorce attorney can help alleviate some of that stress and ensure that the divorce proceedings are as smooth as possible for you, your ex-spouse, and, most importantly, your children.

The question is, how do you find the right Nassau County divorce lawyer?

It can be helpful to get recommendations from friends, relatives, and coworkers who have been through a divorce. However, since every situation is unique, it is essential to interview multiple divorce lawyers before deciding on the best one for you. Here are a few things you should consider while interviewing divorce attorneys near you…

Initial consultation - fee or free?

Before you meet with your prospective divorce attorneys in person, determine if they charge a fee for their initial consultation. While you should not be discouraged from seeing an attorney who charges a small fee, you should think long and hard about interviewing a divorce attorney who charges a hefty price to sit with you and listen to your concerns. These lawyers may specialize in high-profile divorce cases, and unless that is your situation, you are unlikely to benefit from their expertise.

Divorce law specialist or generalist?

It is crucial to inquire whether your preferred divorce attorneys exclusively practice divorce law or whether it is just a part of their overall practice. If they do not specialize in divorce law or have only handled one or two divorces in the past, they might not be able to represent you in the best way. However, if you have children caught up in the divorce, you should look for “family court lawyers near me.” Family law is highly nuanced, and only an attorney well-versed in that body of law can ensure that you get the best possible outcome for your children.

Fees and total costs

A New York family attorney’s fees can often be outrageously high. What you can do is request a detailed breakdown of their fee structure. Having the fee structure will ensure you do not get hit with redundant or hidden fees.

Taking these factors into account during the interviews will ensure that you choose the best divorce attorney in New York.
