Hiring a family custody lawyer is something that should be done with due diligence. In other words, as the attached video highlights, there are a few things we should know. That includes certain facts about the attorneys we are considering and the case itself.
Things to Consider When Choosing Legal Representation
Choosing a family custody lawyer isn’t something that is done light-heartedly. And in most situations, the circumstances that require the need for a family custody lawyer can be far from pleasant. That is also another reason to give thoughtful consideration when considering legal representation in matters of such a delicate nature.
Strategy
Another consideration is asking about the types of strategies the lead or individual attorney offers, intends to use, or has experience in. Some attorneys will prefer settlement options while others may prefer win-at-all-cost strategies. Choose the best option for your case.
Fees and Structure
It goes without saying that good attorneys don’t come cheap. However, it is always a good idea to know what type of structure they offer (e.g., flat rate, hourly, etc.) and what fees should be expected. Make sure to find an attorney you can afford.
These are just a few areas to consider. However, your comfort level is always the most decisive consideration. So, don’t rush into hiring a family custody lawyer because the outcome of custody cases is felt for years, and sometimes, lifetimes.
