If you and your spouse do not wish to continue your marriage and are willing to get a divorce, hiring a divorce lawyer is the first thing you need to do. Look for a lawyer the same way you would look for a surgeon, as if your life depends on him. A lawyer is the person who shall inform you of your legal rights and direct you in the best way to proceed after separation.
Following are the points you must keep in mind while deciding and choosing a suitable divorce lawyer for your case:
You need to know the qualification and experience of your lawyer. For this it is better to take references from friends and family members.
Choose a lawyer, who is easily available and accessible, in terms of distance as well as schedule.
Do not judge your lawyer on the basis of his physical appearance, size and look of his office/chamber.
If you are not satisfied with your lawyer, do not hesitate to discuss your case with another lawyer.
You should be comfortable and at ease with your lawyer in discussing your case.
Beware of lawyers who make impractical promises such as- you will definitely win the case or you will obtain divorce in a short time etc.
You may think that well established lawyers charge more. But this is not true in all cases; the quality of representation you get, may or may not be worth the remuneration they charge. There are often highly skilled and experienced lawyers who charge less because they are not well known and are therefore not in mad demand.
After you have hired the appropriate lawyer as per your needs, make sure you inform him about the following-
The issues on which you and your partner have similar opinions.
The issues that you would want the court to decide upon.
