Child Custody & Family Law

 Powered by Max Banner Ads 

Attorney selection is critical and in my opinion one of the most overlooked areas in child custody cases. Hiring the wrong attorney can cost you more than just money it can cost you your case. Many people use the wrong attorney what I mean by wrong is an attorney that does not specialize in family law focused on child custody they use the family attorney… you know the guy that does your will or handles the family business actions.

Another big mistake is to randomly pick an attorney out of the phone book without any research. Some attorney’s not all but some are great salesman and that’s all they are, all talk. When it comes down to it they are lazy trust me I hired and fired two. Big mistake!

You need to find the best attorney you possibly can that will take your case. Find an attorney in your area that practices both criminal and family law. One that knows the judge and has practiced in front of said judge, and therefore has an upper hand so to speak when it comes to testimony, evidence and most importantly what the judge will view credible and relevant. You will also be looking for a family law attorney that is both aggressive and savvy.

Before you meet with your selection of attorney’s that meet the criteria listed above you are going to create a list of questions. Try and make sure that you have all of your the facts and questions in order an example of some questions you might pose are. How many child custody cases have handled in the past year? Of those cases how many have you one or lost. What do you believe was the reason for said losses. Would it be alright if I helped with the case as in gathering information, and doing some leg work. Have you handled mostly moms or dads etc…etc…

If the family law attorney is not open to your participation in the case and the reason for his losses are blamed all on the past client and the attorney accepts no responsibility for the loss. The attorney is probably not being completely honest and is just looking to make a buck. Some parents just hire an attorney any attorney and just leave everything up to them. Never ever do that! That is the quickest road to failure, you will need to actively participate-remember it is your life and you and only you know all the reasons why you believe that you deserve the amount of child custody you are seeking.
