Tips for Hiring a Qualified Massachusetts Divorce Lawyer
Confer with the state bar and other organizations
To develop a list of potential divorce attorneys, turn to the Massachusetts Bar Association, the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, and Web resources like www.AllLaw.com. This number one legal directory can put you in touch with divorce attorneys in Worcester, Cambridge, Lowell, Springfield, Brockton, and Boston.
Draft a summary of key events
Because divorce cases sometimes hinge on a line of “he said, she said” arguments, write down all of the events - to the best of your memory – that preceded the divorce. Your attorney may be glad for the information as it may prove beneficial in building his or her case. Additionally, writing it down can sometimes make it easier to remember facts, as emotions can be heated and all consuming.
Write down a list of ideal traits and qualities
Before you meet with attorneys, write down some personality traits and skills you would like your Massachusetts divorce lawyer to possess. (This may make it easier to weed out candidates later.) Some traits might include:
Check references
Request references from each candidate before you decide on a Massachusetts divorce lawyer to represent you. The references should be glowing recommendations from clients and peers.
