Divorce lawyer, Sandra W. Morris - The right questions to ask
It is important to get information from your potential Montgomery, Bucks and Philadelphia County divorce lawyers before hiring them. Lawyers expect questions, and you should leave a meeting or end a phone call feeling confidant that they represent your interests.
Some questions to ask your divorce lawyers include:
- How long have you practiced family law? You want a divorce lawyer with experience.
- Do you provide a written contract? Insist on seeing and reviewing a retainer agreement before you consider hiring an lawyer.
- How many cases similar to mine have you handled in the past 6 months? The more cases a divoce lawyer handles the less individualized attention you may receive. However, it shows that he or she is in demand and is extremely familiar with divorce in Bucks County, Philadelphia County or Montgomery County.
- What am I asking for that is not realistic? Your divorce lawyers should provide realistic expectations and warn you of goals that are unattainable.
- How would you recommend handling my case? Some lawyers prefer alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation or arbitration. Divorce lawyers in Philadelphia County and the Tri-County Area may have a preferred approach, and they should explain it thoroughly.
- How quickly do you respond to phone calls and emails? Ideally, you want a representative who answers within 24 hours.
- Will anyone else be working on my case? Large divorce law firms may have many professionals working on a single case. Make sure that you understand who will be handling your case before you make a hiring decision.
- What are the court fees? Every jurisdiction has different fees.
- How much do you estimate my case will cost? Do NOT be afraid to ask questions about cost. You have to hire a divorce lawyer that you can afford. If the divorce lawyer refuses to offer an estimate, be skeptical.
- Do you offer payment plans? Many lawyers are willing to arrange payment plans that you can afford. Be wary if they recommend taking out loans instead of accepting periodic payments.
