The founder of the Law Offices of Francis King, in Nashville, TN, commented: “Dissolving a marriage can be mentally and emotionally exhausting. So this makes it all the more important to hire the right divorce attorney to fit your particular needs.”

One of the most important things to ask is an attorney’s level of experience. “When interviewing a potential divorce attorney, you’ll need to find out if they deal with cases other than family and divorce law. If you lean toward retaining an attorney who focuses exclusively on divorce and family law cases, it will be better as they’ll have more experience in these areas.”

King added: “Ask the attorney  how long they have been concentrating on  family law, not simply just practicing  law in general. This is because going through a divorce process involves many moving parts, particularly if a divorce has to go to trial. Experience in other practice areas will not necessarily transfer effectively to the handling of a divorce or family law case.”

“The attorney not only needs to have litigation experience, but must also understand the emotions and psychology involved in a divorce case in order to properly advise the client about what to expect during the process.”

The attorney  will also need to advise how a client can help themselves and their children through this transition, what a reasonable settlement offer would look like, and, if necessary, what relief they should request from the court.

King asserted that clients should also ask about an attorney’s fee structure to set expectations and avoid surprises. “While many may shy away from it, it’s essential they know what to expect financially from the divorce process.” 

“Some additional things you should ask include if the lawyer will  require a retainer, if they have different rates for in-court and out-court time, and whether or not they charge by the hour or a fixed fee. If they charge by the hour, ask if they bill at the quarter of an hour or the tenth of an hour, and if they have any minimums.”  

He added: “If you’ve never gone through a divorce, you may not know what lies ahead, as divorce law can vary by state, and the length of the divorce process hinges on how agreeable and motivated both parties are to achieving a reasonable outcome.” 

“After understanding your situation, an experienced divorce attorney can help provide you with an estimated timeframe to help you mentally prepare for the journey ahead.”
