How to Choose a Divorce Lawyer in Toronto

By: Caron Neuf

It was not that long ago, when I was in your shoes and I was looking for a Toronto divorce lawyer. If you're looking for a good divorce or family law lawyer then you should keep reading.
As you will learn, obtaining your Toronto divorce lawyer will be the single biggest decision that you can make during the divorce process. So it is important that you select someone who understands your situation and who is skilled in family law matters. Moreover, you need a person that you can trust and feel totally comfortable with.
Here are seven (7) general tips that I suggest you use when you go looking for your lawyer.
* Speak to your family and friends and ask them if they have anyone who they recommend. Chances are they know someone who has been in your shoes and if they had a good experience they will happily refer a quality family law lawyer.
* Create a listing of what you are seeking in your lawyer. For instance, do you prefer a male or female attorney? Would you like someone who has been practicing for 25 years or someone who recently got out of school? Are you looking for a law firm or a sole practitioner? These are the type of questions that you need to answer when looking for your lawyer.
* If there are a number of contentious issues, you will probably go to court and you may want a lawyer who has a strong background in litigation and court room experience. On the other hand, if you and your spouse want to end your marriage peacefully, then you should consider a divorce lawyer who has a solid understanding in negotiation.
* Most Toronto lawyers offer a free initial consultation. You should take them up on this offer and use the time to explain your situation. You will also use the time to ask as many questions are you can to get to know the style of the lawyer.
* Some lawyers charge by the hour and others by the job. Make sure you know their billing preferences up front. See my post on Is Getting a Divorce in Toronto Expensive to learn more about legal costs.
* Ask for references from those lawyers who you have shortlisted and follow up with them. These people can give you valuable insight on what to expect.
* Don't base your decision solely on price or on who has the nicest and biggest office. This does not necessarily tell you anything about their skill.
So there you have it, seven tips to use for your Toronto divorce lawyer search. Don't be afraid to ask questions and ensure that you choose a lawyer who is most compatible with your personality. I wish you all the best.
