> Selecting your lawyer

Choosing a divorce lawyer is a little different than selecting other types of attorneys. Make sure your choice needs to be both knowledgeable and experienced but also make sure their style and approach mirror yours. Active or re-active, aggressive or passive, the lawyer you choose must be one with who you are comfortable. Divorce clients change lawyers more often than any others.

> Made a bad selection?

Before discharging your present lawyer tell them how you feel. If you feel they are not performing as you expected express your feelings and see if things can be improved. It's far less expensive and will allow your matter to keep moving forward.
