First meetings with divorce attorneys

Several important events occur during an office meeting with a divorce attorney. Immediately, you will notice the general level of professionalism in their practice. How nice the office? Would you be pleased to have this attorney represent you publicly? Does the firm maintain a perfect record with the state bar?

They will size you up as a potential client. Divorce attorneys are wary of all potential clients harboring unreasonable expectations. Aggressive is good. Unreasonable is not. During your meeting, most attorneys will decide if they can meet your goals and provide you with a thorough evaluation of why, or why not, your goals can be achieved. Lawyers are always concerned with their professional reputations. They want full disclosure from all clients to be able to craft the best possible strategy upon credible, admissible proof.
