Learn today from Tyler Monahan what questions you should be asking a Divorce lawyer before hiring them.
In a situation where you are in the process of seeking representation for divorce, you want to make sure that you’re asking your attorney questions about how often they take on divorce cases.
What percentage of it are divorces of their practice? What about their staff? Is their staff well versed? How did they approach the divorce process? Do they lead with a stick? Or do they bring the honey first and see what happens?
Are they out looking to try to take as long as possible to run up fees for your divorce? Or are they in a position where they understand that it’s their job as we believe here at Turner Monahan, to find a way for you and your spouse or soon to be former spouse to coexist later on down the line, especially if you have children.
And to be able to communicate and put in a plan, whether it’s dividing your assets and or dividing your assets and the rights and duties and possession and access of your children.
You need to make sure that you find somebody that makes you feel comfortable, and that their initial goal is to figure out how to make that possible without having a long and drawn out divorce process.
Not to say there aren’t situations where one part of the other causes a long drawn out divorce situation and there are several times that occurs, which were you’ll have to do discovery and possibly depositions and subpoenas of other things, and there are appropriate times that need to be done.
But on the front end, you need to make sure that you understand what you’re getting into with the attorney that you’re hiring. Make sure it’s somebody that you feel comfortable with and that you’re going to have a good working relationship with your attorney.
