Why you should have an initial consultation with a divorce lawyer

In this episode Why do you have to pay for an initial consultation. This is the reserved time for you to sit with your attorney to get a snapshot of what's going on and answer your questions, educate you of your legal rights and options, and help you develop your plan moving forward. You will be listened to and not "talked-at." Make sure you tell us all the facts, we are not biased or judgmental. We want to help you. Really what an initial consultation boils down to is information gathering. It is an extremely comprehensive consultation.  If you do a consultation does that mean we are your attorney? No. It does conflict us out from representing your opposing party. If I found an online template that is much cheaper, why should I hire an attorney? We discuss this mentality. We talk about how legal fees work, what a retainer is, and how an attorney bills for their time. We define what an hourly rate is from your attorney's perspective. Can the opposing party pay for your initial retainer?
