When faced with the need for a lawyer, sadly, most people hire the first attorney they see or are referred to by friends or family, without understanding just how much impact this attorney will have on their life and future. Don't make this mistake. As Yogi Berra said, "If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else".
If you are contemplating a divorce, chances are you are angry and/or hurt. You need to make emotional decisions, but you cannot make them emotionally, because choosing how you divorce and which attorney you hire are as important the decision to divorce itself.
