The divorce process can be difficult and confusing, so it’s important to make sure that you find a qualified family law lawyer who will represent your best interests. It’s also critical to work with someone who is easy to communicate with, because you’ll want to know what the next step is at every point in the process.

Here are some helpful tips on how you can hire a great family law lawyer:

Search for qualified family law lawyers in your area. You can do this by searching on the internet or through referrals from friends, neighbors, and other professionals you know. Make sure that you’re finding someone who handles family law cases because it’s a complex field of practice with many different areas of law that are involved.

Look at reviews of local lawyers. You can check out our local 5 star reviews here.

Interview several different lawyers, making sure you take notes about what they say their fees are, how much experience they have handling divorce cases, and how they respond to your situation.

Divorce is often a difficult and emotional process. One aspect that can add to the difficulty of divorce proceedings is the cost in Maryland. Many people are unsure whether they can make their spouse pay for their lawyer’s fees, but it may be possible in some cases. 

Many people who are in a position of financial superiority will be ordered to help pay for their divorce lawyer, or at least contribute towards the cost. This is because they may have created this situation by being able to afford these expenses and voluntarily incur them while limiting your access to funds during marriage. While it may be possible, this is not something that judges do very often because you would need evidence of your spouse being able to afford and pay for these legal expenses. If there isn’t enough evidence, then the judge would most likely deny your request.
