Finding a Divorce Lawyer

A separation/ Divorce is a very traumatic event.  It is important to find a Family/Divorce lawyer that you can work with and assist you during this difficult time in your life.  Some lawyers are willing to listen to your feelings while others are strictly business.  You have to decide which type of lawyer you want.

If you are looking for a lawyer, there are several avenues that you can use to locate a lawyer.  It is always best to ask friends or relatives if they know of a good divorce or family lawyer.  I always appreciate referrals from past clients.  The biggest compliment is when a party that I acted against refers a client to our office.  It demonstrates that the party recognizes that we did a good job and it is only business.  If you cannot get a referral to a lawyer from a friend or relative, you can investigate lawyers online or go to the Law Society of Upper Canada to obtain a referral.

There is nothing wrong with contacting several lawyers and interviewing them.  It is worth it to pay the lawyer for a consultation.  You will obtain valuable information from the lawyer.  In addition, if you meet with the lawyer in person it will assist in determining whether or not you have “chemistry” with the lawyer.  You have to work with this person and it helps to get along with him/her.
