So you've had to go out and decide to get an attorney. yes there are certain givens... a lawyer from a REAL law school. Your cousin may have watched The Practice or have his Denny Crane imitation down pat. But the you want to win this thing right? Everyone knows the real victory doesn't come in the court room. The real victory comes by reaching an agreement before you get there. Save the monologue to bore your next date. A guy with a mouth like mine had to really bite the bullet to come to a settlement.

1. Pick an AV Rated Attorney
2. Pick a female attorney
3. Do not bargain hunt
4. Do not use a friend unless he is the best there is
5.Their office should be in walking distance to the courthouse
6. Make sure she has lower paid people on staff to do the paperwork (it can get expensive)
7. Read all you can on divorce
8. Forget all you read. In the end the judge is the only real law...
9. If kids are involved, get a Guardian Ad Litem involved pronto!
10. If the attorney doesn't interview you to see if you are worthy, walk away!
