Where do you take cases?
Do you offer contested and uncontested divorce representation?
If a case starts out as contested does it have to go to trial?
Is there a consultation fee? What does the consultation fee cover?
How much does a divorce (or any particular case) cost?
Every case is different, so we are unable to quote fees without a consultation. Generally speaking, a contested divorce is more expensive than an uncontested divorce because it is considerably more time-consuming.
Should I hire a divorce lawyer if the divorce is uncontested?
A common misconception is that if a case is uncontested, that both spouses have the same lawyer; however, ethical rules prevent a lawyer from representing both the Plaintiff and Defendant in a divorce. It is vital for you to seek your own independent legal counsel to look out for your best interests.
