You could have the most intelligent attorney in the country, but if they aren’t reliable and responsive, you are working with the wrong representation. The character of your counsel can be especially crucial when handling sensitive cases like family law. Remember the helpful acronym C.A.R.E. while searching for a family law attorney.
Compassionate
With family law cases, it is likely that you will have to share some personal life details with your attorney that you have never even told your closest friends. Entrust this information with an attorney who is not only smart, but also sympathetic towards your situation. If your attorney is genuinely concerned about your situation then he/she is also invested in your case and dedicated to the results that will best benefit you.
Authoritative
The average legal dispute consists of two feuding parties who will likely never speak again, but family law cases can impact relationships with extended family and family friends. When you’re not willing to risk the future of your family, you need an attorney who understands every facet of the law and how it could impact your case.
Rapport
It is likely you will be spending some significant time with your attorney, so make sure it’s not only someone who can zealously represent you in the field of family law but also someone you actually like and can communicate with. Not all lawyers are serious and stuffy, so why not search for one that is warm and has a sense of humor? There is nothing worse than paying someone you don’t like.
Earnest
The outcome of your case should be just as important to your attorney as it is to you. Hire a family law professional who will put the needs of your family first and work hard towards reaching a resolution to your matter. The more interest your attorney shows, the better chance you’ll have at getting the results you need.
