Tips For Choosing A Good Denver Family Law Lawyer

By Sherry Gross


At one time or the other in life, you will need the services of a family attorney; either to assist you with estates; will and powers of attorney; for marriage and co-habitation agreement and yes, for divorce and child custody. However, many people decide to tackle such cases without the help of attorneys because they think that the process of finding a good one is going to be arduous, stressful and of course costly. It does not have to be. Here are a few tips to help you find the best Denver family law lawyer.

If you do not already have a list of lawyers to choose from, the best place to start is to seek for referrals. This will help you gather a list of lawyers who have been tested and proven to be good at what they do. Even if they can only warn you against unscrupulous lawyers, this will still be useful as it will help you know attorneys you need to avoid.

Another reliable source of referrals is your other lawyer. In fact, this is the most reliable source of referrals since lawyers usually keep track of their colleagues in other specialties. Your immigration attorney will give you reliable information than a non-legal practitioner.

Legal fee is another important factor that you cannot afford to ignore. Because there is no standard charge for legal services, each and every attorney is always likely to have unique charges. Because of this, comparison shopping is essence. This will help you identify a solicitor whose charges are within your range. Never settle on costly attorneys thinking that they will guarantee you the best services; some of them just charge high fees but their services are nowhere near top notch.

Family law is a very unique aspect of law. In other words, it requires someone with specific experience. An experienced personal injury attorney may not be able to help you especially if the case is hotly contested. Because of this, you should always give priority to lawyers with at least ten years of active practice in the field of family law.

Most attorneys usually offer free initial consultation; you need to make the most out of this meeting. Ask the attorney as many questions as you possibly can and take note of how he/she answer them. Only hire a solicitor who demonstrates deep understanding of the law by the way he/she answer your questions.

It is also important that you follow your guts before making this important decision. If your instincts are against a particular solicitor, you need to stay away from them even if they had the most referrals. You must not necessarily find the solicitor who helped your friend suitable for your case.

It is also important that you start the search process early. This will help you avoid last minute desperation. Even the most honest attorney will be tempted to exploit you if he/she realizes that you are in a desperate situation.
