Picking the Best St. Louis Divorce Attorney for You

Before you choose a divorce attorney in St. Louis, you

should do your due diligence and check them out. Read their reviews on Google, speak with them over the phone, and meet with them in their office. Your attorney will know everything about you, so you have to trust them. Be sure to ask if they will personally be handling your case, or if one of their associates will really be doing the job.

You can always change St. Louis divorce attorneys. 

If you retain an attorney and they are not responding to your calls and emails, change attorneys! And do it as soon as possible. Every client should be important to an attorney- not just the ones who are paying the highest legal fees.  If your attorney is too busy to get back to you, then your attorney may be too busy to do a good job.

The attorney is checking you out as well.

You should know that during the initial interview with an attorney, he or she will be checking you out, just as you are checking them out. For an attorney, red flags include clients who want revenge at all costs and clients who aren’t willing to share their children with the other parent. A good attorney will not hurt a child, regardless of how much they are paid. There may be a good reason why a child should never see one of their parents again, but there aren’t many of them and this is for a judge to decide, not a vengeful spouse. (By the way, beware the attorney that tells you he can get you everything you want.  He may just be saying this to get you as a client.  You are better off knowing the law than getting false promises.  If you have any doubts, interview other divorce attorneys in St. Louis before making up your mind.)
