If you've just gone through a painful marriage and are considering divorce, one of the first things you need to do is find a divorce attorney. This sure sounds like an easy task to do. There are many divorce attorneys out there and you can find them online, on TV, on the radio and even on the yellow pages and classified ads section of your local daily.
The question now is, which one is probably best for you? Which among these divorce attorneys will likely give you what you want out of the legal proceedings of your divorce? Among these divorce experts, will they actually have the power to put you in an advantageous position as you go through your trials?

Indeed, it is not easy to choose a divorce attorney for the simple reason that a lot is at stake when you end up with the wrong one - you can lose your home, you can lose custody of your children and you may even end up with a very small chunk of the assets you acquired as a couple. These are only some of the reasons why you will always need to take your time choosing the right divorce lawyer if you don't want to find yourself on the losing end of this legal tussle.
So what exactly do you need to do to get the best divorce lawyer in town? Initially, try asking your friends. Ask neighbors. Ask colleagues. But ask only those whom you are comfortable discussing your divorce with. You don't want the whole world to know about the marital turmoil you're in. Keep in mind that when it comes to cases such as divorces, it is extremely important that the client is comfortable with his lawyer. Apart from being a legal proceeding, divorce is also a very emotional experience for people who are going through it or trying to settle it. So if you want to spare yourself the emotional hassle, make sure you have a lawyer who will listen to you and will act with a sympathetic ear. Don't settle for one who is only in it for the money. Divorce is a very personal experience and so should your relationship with your divorce attorney be. Not that you have to let the lawyer into your whole life, but when discussing about what happened during the marriage, you do need to have that rapport going.
If you are new in town and finding a good referral for a divorce lawyer is next to impossible, don't fret. There are ways around it. First, you'll want to look online or the yellow pages. Come up with a list with at least five names and five addresses and have a consultation with each one of them. It may cost you some, but given that you are to start at square one in your search, do have the patience and don't find it a waste of money. We all deserve a good defense lawyer and it doesn't matter what it takes to find one. To check on their professional background, you can also look into reviews of these lawyers online. After talking with them and getting a feel of how comfortable you will be around them (remember, divorces can be really nasty), then it's time to choose. Do not forget to consider checking if they're authentic divorce lawyers to start with. There are many cons out there. Better yet, check with the local lawyers' association to verify identities and qualifications.
