In order to choose the best family lawyer for your needs, you would be wise to do some research, look for experience and rapport, and compare the prices of multiple attorneys. One way to start your research is to ask friends and family for referrals, keeping in mind that one person’s experience does not guarantee that this is the right lawyer for you. Whether you get referrals or find attorneys in advertisements or through a Google search, you should dig deeper than the surface to get a better feel for each lawyer that you consider hiring. Look for reviews, written by previous clients, and look for professionalism in the law firm’s website.
Through research and referrals, you can generate a list of family attorneys who might be able to represent you, and then work from that list to seek consultations from your top three or four possibilities. The consultation gives you an opportunity to discuss your case, to discuss the experience and success of the attorney, and to evaluate whether or not you feel comfortable entrusting your case to the given lawyer. You can then compare your impressions of each attorney from whom you seek a consultation before making your decision.
