Getting a lawyer that you find easy to work with is the first step. If while interviewing, he says something or behaves in a way that makes you uneasy or uncomfortable, don't hesitate to find someone else.
Before the case starts, make sure that you're 100.00% comfortable with your choice. Changing a lawyer afterward can damage your case. This can't be stressed enough since the quality of the rest of your life depends on your lawyer and how well you work together.
Four tips on an having an effective partnership with your divorce lawyer.
1) Before getting a lawyer, do your research and plan what you want from your divorce settlement. Educating yourself first before starting your divorce proceedings will enable you to make informed decisions and to decide what the big picture will be.
2) It is not up to you to decide what information is or isn't relevant to the case. Your lawyer makes that judgement. Never withhold any information and be completely honest with him. The information made available either strengthens or handicaps your lawyer's case.
3) Make an effort to collect together all pertinent documents both personal and financial. Send copies to your lawyer and keep the originals locked up in a safe place. Your lawyer is depending on you to provide him with all of the information relating to the case.
4) Always stay on top of the decisions and issues made about your case. Regular contact with your lawyer is an absolute necessity. Don't hesitate to ask questions if there is anything regarding the legal proceedings that you don't understand. Either arrange an appointment or place a phone call.
