Getting a divorce means making many crucial decisions, not the least of which is who to hire as your legal representative. O'Connor, Mikita & Davidson, a Cincinnati family law firm with over 20 years of legal experience, encourages everyone to meet with at least three attorneys before making a decision. At these consultations, you'll have the chance to explain your situation, but you should also take the opportunity to ask some important questions.

3 Questions You Should Ask Your Divorce Attorney

1. How Long Have You Been Practicing Family Law?

Divorce laws are extremely complex, so if you have the chance you'll almost always be better off going with an attorney who has experience with family law. In general, an attorney who focuses specifically on divorce and child custody law will have the knowledge and the skills to help achieve the best possible outcome.

2. What Results Have You Achieved In Similar Cases?

No two divorces are exactly alike, but be sure to ask whether the attorney you're considering has handled cases similar to yours. What outcome did they achieve? Would you be happy with similar results? This may be a good time to ask about their approach to negotiation and mediation.

3. How Much Will It Cost?

Some family law attorneys charge a flat fee, but most lawyers bill on an hourly basis. While they may not be able to provide an exact figure, your lawyer should be able to give you a general estimate of your total costs.
