I've been doing exclusively family law for almost 16 years, and here's what I believe makes a good divorce attorney: 1. An attorney who not only helps you get through the process, but understand what the process looks like and what the future impacts are on your life. 2. An attorney that tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear, regardless of the consequences. 3. An attorney that understands divorce is an emotional process but does not let that emotion drive strategy. 4. An attorney that keeps focus where it belongs. 5. An attorney that realizes that this is your life and not something to take lightly.
