Selecting a Good Divorce and Family Law Attorney in Tampa Bay Brandon, Riverview and Hillsborough County Areas

Marina Taylor's Advice to Finding a Good Family Law Attorney

Tampa Bay landscape When you hire a Divorce Lawyer essentially you are engaging an attorney to become familiar with the most intimate parts of your life. Therefore, you should choose someone who is compassionate and understanding and never judgmental.

Your attorney should have the skills to negotiate without alienating your spouse or opposing counsel. A good divorce attorney does not have to be outwardly aggressive unless all attempts to negotiate or mediate have been exhausted and then aggressive trial tactics may be necessary.


Marina Taylor's 3 Point Criteria of Getting a Good Family Law Attorney

First, select a Divorce and Family Law Attorney who has good interpersonal relationship skills as well as a good working knowledge of Florida Family Law. It does not matter how scholarly an attorney is or how many articles they have written. The lawyer selected must be able to gently persuade the opposing party to see it “your way”. If he or she doesn't possess the courtroom skills and experience to present your case to a judge in a clear and concise manner, then it's highly unlikely you will get the outcome desired.

Secondly, select a Divorce and Family Law Attorney who has a good professional reputation among the judges and other Family Law attorneys in your local area. You don’t want an attorney who is not known to the local legal community. More can be accomplished when there is mutual respect between your lawyer and your spouse’s lawyer. If negotiations fail, you don’t want your attorney having to introduce him or herself to the judge for the first time at your divorce hearing.

Thirdly, select a Family Law Attorney with a proven “track record” of either settling cases or being “successful” in court. Attorneys with positive testimonials from clients can help you select an attorney
