Looking for a Good Divorce Attorney

OMG You have to call Leslie Martin at Martin Family Law she saved my life! My husband has lots of money and a big house and new wife and refused to pay child support I had NO MONEY to pay her and she did so many amazing things for us I have my debt to her down to $314 and its been like 2 yrs. I can't find her card but will keep trying. She is an amazing woman's attorney!

As an attorney (my practice is not family law, though) let me give you a few words of advice. Be sure to interview the attorney and get to know something about them - don't just choose one based on economics.

Be sure that he/she practices regularly in the court where you will be (the county)...because there is a definite edge for attorneys who are familiar with the judges.

Ask if he/she regularly represents husbands or wives and how many child custody cases they have handled.

Ask if he/she will regularly speak with you (and not relegate your calls to a paralegal or admin). Make sure that you have someone who will explain to you the proceedings and what is happening. You don't want to get to court and be surprised about something.

Ask if he/she can recommend a good mediator (always better to try this route even with an attorney representing you, because it is less costly both $$ and on the children's mental health).

Ask if he/she can give you the names of any clients they have represented....some attorneys have clients who will agree to speak to potential new clients (but not always, because there is issue of confidentiality).

Ask if he/she can refer you to any counseling or support groups. If he/she is interested in the overall well-being of a client, then it is likely that he/she will have some contacts to these type of groups (not just in it for the $$).

And finally, make sure you feel that he/she is someone you can trust and feel comfortable speaking to. I hope this helps you a little. Good luck. Email me anytime if you have questions or just need a little moral support. ____@____.com

If you are worried about the cost which must of us are you can do alot of research on line and find out just how to file all the request yourself. You can even go as far as requesting the judge to confer with the child. I got a divorce several years ago hired a attorney and ended up with court ordered counseling, then decided to fired the attorney and did research online. I am pround to say I have my children with me ever day he who had the money and a attorney only gets to pick them up from my house at 6pm. on his weeks. I have two children girl 13 and a boy 9. Having a attorney can be great and exspense I spent $6000.00 on attorney fee's and $8000.00 on court ordered couseling
and got no were. Did research and online and spent $100.00 and got my kids. Everthing is there just read thru all the information. I did alot of researching, just type in what you are looking for and you can find information on how to deal with the question and just who to answer then. Not ever one will be able to use this but alot can. My divorce was not easy but I was determined, to handle it. I was not going to let him have the upper hand......

Try Dennis Fuller, ____@____.com. Great personal friend of mine and fine lawyer. Will send his phone number later.
