Do I Need To Have An In-Person Consultation Prior To Hiring An Attorney?

You should definitely have an in-person consultation with a potential attorney. That’s my standard operating procedure. There are certain subjective qualifications that you are going to get. You can read online about the attorney. How many years have they been in practice? You can also email them and ask about the number of high net worth cases that they have worked with. You can read their online reviews.

However, there are certain things that you just can’t pick up on from a phone call or their website. Consulting with the attorney in person can help you determine whether you feel comfortable with him or her. If you go into their office, is it completely messy? Are there papers strewn all over the place? Do you have the feel that this is a luxury law firm that you would want it to be for your high income or high net worth divorce case?

Is their office in a nice neighborhood? Is it in a nice building? When you walk in, is it a calming experience where you don’t feel rushed? Is the staff friendly to you? Do they appear rushed in the consultation -and they give you as much time as you need to answer all of your questions? Those types of affirmations are only obtained when you meet with the attorney face to face. On the contrary, you are not going to be able to assess those kinds of affirmations through a phone consultation or website.

What Can I Learn From You In The First Consultation In My Het Net Worth Divorce Case?

In the first consultation, you should not only expect to have your questions answered, but you should also have that attorney walk you through the divorce process. The attorney should also talk about their strategy for your case to help you with particular financial division, asset distribution, maintenance, child support issues, and all other issues should be addressed. If you are the one seeking maintenance and child support, you should talk about the strategies that will maximize those amounts. If you are the one defending against those claims, your attorney can advise on the strategies that will minimize maintenance and child support, if that’s your aim. Those issues should all be discussed at the initial consultation.
