Considerations in Choosing the Right Divorce Attorney for Your Lake Mary, Florida Dissolution of Marriage Case

What is important when you choose a divorce attorney in the Lake Mary, Florida area? What qualities should you be looking for in the attorney? 

There are many factors, such as experience, reputation in the legal community, expertise in the field, client reviews, blogs, friends or relatives’ referrals, price, location of the attorney’s office, office hours of the attorney, retainer of attorney, hourly rate of the attorney, staff of the attorney, cost of the initial consultation, etc. 

You need to make sure the two of you are a good fit. Do you want an attorney who is low key or intense? Do you want a litigation attorney or collaboratively trained attorney? Do you want an attorney who practices predominantly in Seminole County? Do you want an attorney who practices predominantly in Marital and Family Law? These are all considerations to think about when you are interviewing attorneys for your Lake Mary Divorce case. 

Here are more questions to consider when choosing a divorce attorney:

• Does the attorney seem knowledgeable at the consultation? 
• Did the attorney discuss the current Florida Law with you? 
• Did the attorney answer your questions to your satisfaction? 
• Did the attorney explain the dissolution of marriage process in Florida to you? 
• Did the attorney discuss mediation, arbitration, collaborative, uncontested and contested and litigated divorce? 
• Did the attorney listen intently  to you as you explained your situation? 
• Do you have unique factors in your case? Has the attorney ever dealt with the unique issues of your case, such as guardianship during divorce or mental illness during divorce? 
• Has the attorney dealt with high net worth dissolution of marriage cases? 
• Has the attorney done complex and protracted litigation? 
• Does the attorney have trial experience? 
• Has the attorney dealt with cases with businesses and or trusts?
