Hiring a Divorce Attorney — Your Most Important Decision
Family law concerns are among the most emotionally trying legal problems. The lawyer you hire to advise and represent you often has a major impact on how your family's future will look, probably for years and decades to come. But how do you know what law firm will be right for you? Every lawyer claims to have the experience and skills you need.
I am Lenita Skoretz, Attorney at Law. From my law office in Redlands, California, I have been providing a full range of California family law services for more than ten years. I believe that the way to choose the right lawyer isn't based only on experience and skill. It should also be based on the attorney's ability to help you identify your options and make the decisions that are right for you.
When looking for the right family law attorney, consider these important factors:
- Does the attorney recommend mediation, or aggressive litigation?
- Will the lawyer keep you informed at every turn, as your case progresses?
- Will you be part of the process, or will your attorney handle everything?
- Will your lawyer do everything necessary to protect your interests?
- Is it a local attorney? Will the law firm know the local court system?
Many of these questions seem like “no-brainers,” but they aren't. Family law issues can be complex and confusing, and you need a lawyer who can help you sort through the options and move forward with the right legal steps.
In the final decision, it's all about feeling comfortable
