What questions should I ask a prospective divorce attorney?
When you have your first meeting with your divorce attorney, ask them questions such as how long they've been practicing law, how long they've been practicing family law. Ask the divorce attorney whether they have any special training, mediation skills, collaborative training. Ask the divorce attorney the question why you should hire them. Remember, when you hire your divorce lawyer, they work for you; you don't work for them. So, it's a job interview and the divorce attorney needs to give you a reason for you to part with your money and hire them. Ask them.
