STEP 1 - FINDING AN ATTORNEY

The first step is finding an attorney. The best way is to ask for recommendations from others. When you do call an attorney, ask about her or his experience in family matters. If you are satisfied, take the time to decide whether you are now truly ready to begin a divorce procedure. If you are, then make an appointment—and keep the appointment. We say this because it is not uncommon for people to make and cancel three or four appointments before they finally come into the office. In fact, we have seen it take some people a year or more to actually come in for an appointment after the first telephone call.
