Qualities to look for in your family lawyer

Experience

Any lawyer you consider should have substantial experience in handling cases in your location and in your area e.g. divorce, child custoday etc.. An experienced lawyer will know the tendencies of the various judges in your jurisdiction and should be able to use this knowledge to your advantage. Additionally, that lawyer should practice primarily in the field of law that you require e.g. divorce.

Client Testimonials

Perhaps the best way to decide which lawyer to use for your case is to find out what former clients have to say about that lawyer. While court cases are never an enjoyable process, some lawyers have more success at satisfying their clients than others. If you do not know someone who has been a client of that particular lawyer, you should consider asking the lawyer for a list of clients that you can contact who can describe their experience with the lawyer. While client confidentiality is important, any good experienced lawyer should have at least a few former clients who are willing to vouch for him or her.

Accessible

When a client becomes dissatisfied with a lawyer, one of the most common complaints is that they were unable to communicate with the lawyer. It is very important that your lawyer be accessible and prompt in responding to your phone calls, emails, and requests for meetings. While you can ask the lawyer about their office policy, this is another area where you can best evaluate the lawyer by hearing what former clients have to say.

Fees

When you make your initial appointment with the attorney, you should inquire about a consultation fee. Some lawyers do brief initial consultations for free, although most experienced lawyers will charge between $100.00 and $200.00 as a consultation fee, or will charge their normal hourly rate.

Choose a lawyer that you feel comfortable with

It may sound obvious but you should choose a lawyer that you are comfortable dealing with.
