When Undergoing a Divorce, Choosing Qualified Legal Representation is a Must

With divorce on the rise in Colorado, more and more people are hiring an attorney when it comes times to separate from their spouse.

The law firm of Hull & Zimmerman has handled numerous divorce cases throughout the state of Colorado. They offer the following guidelines when choosing a divorce attorney:

Choose an attorney who you feel comfortable with.
Remember, you are hiring the attorney – not the other way around. All the academic qualifications in the world are moot if you do not feel comfortable around your attorney, and don’t have ready access to him or her.

Be sure and have a clear understanding of the fees your attorney will be charging.
Often, in divorce cases, you will have to pay your attorney some fees up front – this is called a retainer. Typically, the retainer will not cover all of your legal fees. Be sure and ask questions about your attorney’s rates, and when and how you will have to pay them.

Choose an attorney who will give you personal attention.
This is especially important in divorce proceedings, since a divorce is such a personal, traumatic experience. You want to hire an attorney who will be there for you. One who doesn’t hand your case off to paralegals – rather, you want someone who handles and supervises all aspects of your case personally.

Colorado’s divorce laws are complicated – especially since most everyday people don’t have a lot of experience with a divorce. That’s why experts advise both parties to obtain legal representation, even if the divorce is amicable.

Protecting your rights is even more important if the divorce is hostile, and/or if children are involved. Most divorce proceedings are handled in just one day of court – one day which can have a strong influence upon the rest of your life. Matters related to child custody, visitation, alimony, property division and asset allocation are simply too important to leave in untrained hands.
