What to Ask a Lawyer

When gathering your thoughts and documents, think about what you'll want to ask the lawyer. Consider including on your list questions about:

• the lawyer-client privilege
• the lawyer's experience with divorce cases like yours
• the lawyer's familiarity with the relevant court system
• how often the lawyer goes to trial (as opposed to settling)
• who else will work on your case
• lawyers' fees and other expenses related to the case (including how the cost might increase as the case moves to other stages, like trial)
• how long the case might take, and
• the lawyer's initial impressions of your case and options.
