If you have never worked with an attorney before, choosing one can be an intimidating process. First and foremost, family law cases are deeply personal, and you need to work with an attorney that you like and trust. Also, look for an attorney who is experienced in handling your type of case. If you are facing a divorce, custody issue or child support case, I would suggest working with an attorney that specializes in family law.
Because family law cases are often emotional, they can drag on for months. Be sure to look for an attorney who will be accessible and available to you to keep you updated on your case.
Finally, you need to look at cost. For most people, cost will be an issue, so look for an attorney who is affordable and able to work with your financial needs.
