If you’re seeking the services of a family lawyer, it’s likely you are facing some pretty challenging, emotional times. Finding a lawyer who understands your unique situation and will represent you with dedication and expertise is crucial. At Orman Solicitors, we’ve supported countless clients through various family law issues, and we’re here to offer some advice on choosing the right family law firm for your needs.
- Ensure your solicitor is highly experienced in family law
When choosing a solicitor, it’s essential to confirm that they have extensive knowledge and experience in family law. Do your research to find out how long they’ve been practicing and how many cases similar to yours they’ve handled. A solicitor with deep expertise in family law will be better equipped to navigate the complexities of your case.
- Do you need a solicitor with a unique specialisation?
If your matter involves specific or complex issues, you might benefit from working with a solicitor who has a unique specialisation or experience in that area of family law.
- Don’t hesitate to ask questions
A good family lawyer should be open and ready to answer any questions you may have. During your initial consultation, bring a list of queries to ensure you fully understand their approach and how they plan to handle your matter. This will also help you gauge their communication style and willingness to keep you informed throughout the process.
- Check for client satisfaction
When choosing a family lawyer, it’s important to ensure they have a track record of delivering on their promises.
- Read Online Reviews: A quick search online can reveal a lot about a Solicitor’s reputation. Look for reviews from past clients to see how satisfied they were with the services provided.
- Is your lawyer promising outcomes? If your Family Lawyer promises specific results, be very wary. Even the most experienced family lawyer cannot predict the exact outcome of a legal matter. They can provide an opinion on your chances of success, but promising a win is unrealistic and unprofessional.
- Don’t let cost be the deciding factor
While fees are an important consideration, they shouldn’t be the sole factor in choosing a family lawyer. It’s crucial to find a solicitor who aligns with your values and approach.
- What are their values? Some lawyers take a more aggressive, adversarial approach, while others emphasise collaboration and mediation. Consider which style best suits your needs and the nature of your matter.
- Make sure you’re personally compatible. You need to feel comfortable and confident confiding in your solicitor. If you don’t feel listened to or respected, it could add unnecessary stress to an already difficult situation. Personal compatibility is key to a successful lawyer-client relationship.
