If you are seeking to hire an attorney to handle your divorce,then your relationship must have soured; here's some of the qualities to look for:
Fully qualified to deal with your case
Behave in the proper manner, befitting the situation
Be trustworthy
The best attorney to employ is one who, for at least half their time, is dealing with divorce cases and is fully skilled in mediation techniques. However, none of this will be any good without your complete trust in their abilities.
Those attorneys who prefer mediation will look to solve problems by talking and not through the conflict based approach many attorneys wish to provide. Your divorce lawyer will be able to help with some aspects but there will be things only you can do so think carefully about what you need explained before you contact them.
This is best done by knowing exactly what you intend to speak to them about and write down questions and answers in addition to when, and the length of the conversation on each occasion. As all costs relating to law and legal advice are costly, try not to visit them at the office unless absolutely necessary; this can be achieved by using the phone or mail.
Remember your divorce attorney is there for their expertise in the field and not to act as a counselor, you should hopefully be able to use people close to you for that. Unless you actually want your divorce lawyer to do something about your spouse's behavior or actions, do not use them for general complaints as it is costly and probably won't achieve anything.
Being in control of your own case and your own life is the single best thing you can do, so it is essential that you have a lawyer who can work on that basis. If they are there purely to act in accordance with the legal issue of divorce it will be more efficient utilization of their services and you will be making the decisions. As the person paying for their service, you should expect to be sent copies of any relevant documents and if there are any issues that need to be clarified that a prompt response by them is expected.
Don't think that you have to enter into proceedings armed with a lawyer in tow as they aren't always necessary although you may wish to speak to one just for advice on a marital settlement for example.
This means that a little research is necessary on your part but once you have completed this, it is much easier to contact a lawyer to ask them specific questions and how they see your case concluding. If the break up is relatively amicable then a marital settlement might be the better option and the use of a divorce lawyer could be restricted to just help with this task.
