3 Tips for Finding the Best Divorce Attorneys

February 22, 2023

Are you looking to begin taking steps toward divorce? As you might imagine, divorce is a complex process. That said, you don't have to face it alone. Aim to find a reliable attorney who can help you through these complicated proceedings. A good lawyer by your side throughout the procedure will protect your rights and help you attain the best possible outcome. To find the best legal team for your situation, follow these three tips.



1. Understand Your Needs


Before looking for a divorce attorney, you should know what you need from them. Are you hoping for an amicable divorce agreement? Do you need help with filing documents or paperwork? Make sure to figure out exactly what services your lawyer can provide. As many attorneys have particular specialties, you may find it helpful to look for attorneys specializing in situations like yours.



2. Look for Experience


Of course, specialization often comes with experience. Some lawyers may not outwardly claim to have a particular specialty while still having a lot of experience with cases like yours. As you'll need an expert who knows the ins and outs of your case, their level of experience is what matters most. Make sure that you check online for reviews from previous clients to see what their experiences were like. You can also check for complaints with the Better Business Bureau to ensure you avoid untrustworthy representation.



3. Get in Touch


Once you've narrowed down your list to only the most applicable divorce attorneys, try contacting them directly. Ask questions about their fees, availability, and any other questions you may have. It can also help to meet in person, as this will give you a good idea of whether the attorney is the right fit for your case.


While it may feel isolating at times, it's good to remember that you're not alone in going through a divorce. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, first marriages that end in divorce do so after eight years on average. Finding the right attorney to help you through this difficult time is essential. By following these tips, you can ensure that you'll have a good lawyer by your side every step of the way. If you're searching for one of the best divorce attorneys to represent you, contact us at Oberst DeFala Law, PC today. We'll provide you with the best legal services to make your divorce process as stress-free as possible.

About Me

By Hibu Websites • February 11, 2020
I graduated law school in Portland, Oregon and moved home to Connecticut to practice law with my father. For more than two decades I have worked on hundreds of divorce cases, involving everything from best friends who just could not be married to each other anymore to bitter enemies bent on each others misery and destruction. I believe that my experience in and out of the trenches gives me unique insight into how to help people survive their divorce with the least possible amount of personal/emotional/financial damage. Not everyone needs a divorce, but if you need one, you deserve to Love Your Divorce! Sharon Oberst DeFala
