How to Choose a Divorce Lawyer in Maryland

Female hand signing contract

According to a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst in Bethesda, Maryland, there is a right way to go about selecting an attorney to represent you in a divorce. Rather than opening a phone book or searching the Internet and choosing the first attorney you find, you should make your choice after asking yourself a few questions and conducting a fair amount of research.

1. Are you compatible?

You will speak with your divorce attorney on a weekly basis, at least. After your initial meeting with an attorney, you will want to decide if you are compatible. You need to be comfortable with your attorney. This person will not only be representing you, but fighting for your financial future.

2. Does the attorney have a good reputation?

Ask any attorney you are considering how they handle negotiations. Find out their methods and if those methods have been successful. You will also want an attorney who is familiar with the local court system.

3. Are the fees fair?

Some attorneys charge a moderate sum, and some are incredibly expensive. The attorney you choose should not only fit your budget, but should also be fair. Understand what you will be paying for, including their experience and extent of their investigation process, and get clarification if you need it.

4. Does the attorney provide resources?

Your divorce attorney won’t necessarily be your only source of information during the process. You may need to speak with financial professionals or even medical professionals to handle the emotional turmoil of the divorce. Look for an attorney who will provide you with these resources and others.
