We take a team approach to ensure you have the right person for each task involved. You may be working with your legal team in-depth for several months, so it is essential you’re comfortable with him/her personally and you trust their abilities to achieve the goals we’ve set. Here are some factors to consider as you go through your selection:

• Feel free to inquire about our credentials.

• Depending on your situation, we want to be confident that what you need is what we offer. For example, if you need help with immigration issues as part of your divorce, we would advise you to engage with an immigration attorney, and we would be glad to recommend someone while still working with you for your divorce. Similarly, if your marital situation involves criminal or serious abuse issues, we may recommend you to an attorney more focused on this type of situation. In any event, if you hire us, you’ll know we have the skills and resources necessary to do the job successfully.

• We want you to ask questions when you meet with us. How long will your divorce take? Will you have to go to court? How much will it cost? How will child support, maintenance, and property settlements work? How frequently will we meet, and how accessible are we as a legal team? There are many questions you’ll want to have answered in the process, and we’re here to help.
• Virtually everyone wants to know how much a divorce will cost. This will vary, Briefly, it depends on the complexity of your case, how amenable both parties are to an agreement and settlement, and if it involves other factors, such as minor children.
