What should I look for in a divorce lawyer?
Divorce is a very personal matter and it can be an expensive process if not managed properly. A good divorce lawyer needs to provide more than sound legal advice to you for your divorce application. He needs to be able to understand your current circumstances and tailor his recommendations to your situation. Your divorce lawyer should not give advice in a vacuum, because every divorce case is different.
A good divorce lawyer will also work with you to manage the cost of getting a divorce and to lessen the emotional toll. It is for this reason that our lawyer, Desmond, advises his clients to apply for divorce on an uncontested basis, because an uncontested divorce costs less and is completed more quickly.
The most important thing is for you to trust your divorce lawyer to manage the divorce application in your best interest. This is usually something that only you can gauge after having interacted with the lawyer.
