It is very important that any divorce attorney you interview and consider hiring should be experienced in handling divorce cases in your area.  An experienced divorce attorney will know what to expect of the judges in your jurisdiction and will be able to use this knowledge to your advantage.

Never hire the first divorce attorney you interview.  Get the names of the five top divorce attorneys in your city and interview as many of them as you can afford to.  Interview atleast three before making a decision.  When you consult with an attorney, this keeps your husband from being able to hire that  attorney. This is called “conflicting out an attorney.”  Sometimes a consultation is free.
