Choosing the right divorce attorney to handle your case is extremely important. You can’t just hire the first person you find on Google. Instead, you need to do a bit of research and interviewing to ensure that you are choosing the right person. However, sometimes even after doing your fair share of research, you still don’t make the right choice. If you’re doubting your divorce attorney’s ability to handle your case, it’s not too late to change your representation!
Keep reading for 4 red flags that you hired the wrong family law attorney.
-
- Your attorney isn’t communicating well
There is a lot that goes on beyond the scenes in a divorce case. That being said, your attorney should keep you in the loop of what’s going on. Even if there’s a lull where you’re waiting for a response from the other party or a decision from the judge, your attorney should still keep you updated. If they get annoyed by you asking for updates or simply cannot be bothered to respond to calls and emails, you might want to find a new attorney.
-
- The case doesn’t seem important to them
Lawyers are busy, we get it. They have multiple cases at once and they are likely not as invested as you are in the outcome of the case because it doesn’t necessarily directly impact them as it does you. However, that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t care. If you get the feeling that your attorney is annoyed when you ask questions or doesn’t seem prepared, this is a big red flag.
-
- They are very unorganized
Is your attorney unorganized? Do they forget about filing deadlines or meetings that you have scheduled, or worse, seem to be unable to keep track of essential documents? If you notice that your attorney is very unorganized, it can be a red flag that they are not going to provide the best legal representation for you.
-
- They are acting unethically
If your attorney acts unethically or asks you to do the same, this is a huge red flag and you should not work with them. Even if their behavior may work to your advantage, there can be potential financial and criminal consequences that come with these types of actions.
