Although there are an endless amount of decisions that must be made during a divorce, one of the first steps is to decide on an attorney. Having the right Michigan Divorce Lawyer is key to navigating through a successful divorce outcome. The ideal divorce attorney is one who lets you participate in all decision making and who is not afraid to tell you “how it is” (as opposed to what you want to hear). If you were to create a checklist of what to look for you in your Michigan Divorce Attorney, it should include: - Practices family law
- Has lots of experience
- Is a skilled negotiator
- Is reasonable
- Is compatible with you
- Is Candid
- Is not in conflict with your best interests
So how do you know if your Michigan Divorce Attorney has these qualifications? By asking the right questions: - Are you an exclusive Oakland County Family Law Attorney?
- How long have you been practicing law?
- What is your retainer?
- What is your billing technique?
- Approximately how much will my divorce cost?
- What do you think the outcome will be?
- What percentage of their cases go to trial?
- Are you willing and able to go to court if this case cannot be settled?
- How long will the process take?
- What are my rights and obligations?
- Should I consider meditation?
