A Brief Overview Of New York Divorce Lawyers

By Samuel Levy


The novel named Anna Karenina written by Leonid Tolstoy begins with the statement that all happy families are the same, but the families without happiness are all different. This famous Russian's understandings regarding divorce may be true in your divorce case. It is necessary for you to consult a divorce attorney who knows the unique and personal character of ending your marriage, even if divorce is apparently a usual occurrence in our day.

In addition to a concern for a client's different and individual needs a competent divorce attorney also requires a good general understanding of the way people behave when they decide to sue for divorce or even when they seem to mutually and amicably agree that their marriage is at an end.

Issues that arise during a divorce or separation in New York and anywhere else often involve the custody of children, division of property and other assets and a surprising variety of miscellaneous legal issues that crop up as a divorce proceeding progresses.

Lawyers specializing in cases involving divorce commonly handle mediation, separation agreements and collaborative divorce. This kind of divorce happens as an alternative to normal divorce. The lawyers also handle pre-nuptial and post-nuptial adjustments.

Any divorce lawyer you hire should have a deep understanding of the complex nature of many cases of divorce. You must be able to easily determine the educational and experiential levels of any lawyer you consider hiring. One other good indication of an able and experienced divorce lawyer is the team of individuals they employ to support their activities. All members of that team should treat you with courtesy and compassion at all times.

Along with these, the members of the team or associates working in a divorce lawyer's office can be people trained in professions such as forensic accounting, appraisal and psychology. It is essential for you to get to know them better and possibly meet them so that you can determine their professional achievements.

It is important that the lawyer you select to deal with your divorce case feels safe with presenting your case in the entire New York area such as the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens. You can find that most divorce practices often have a few attorneys on staff compared to other law practices. It does not matter whether a divorce practice is small or large while searching for the help of a divorce lawyer.

Divorce proceedings are often sensitive and personal and that's why, it may seem difficult to find out how a certain divorce lawyer has handled previous cases. You may be unable to verify whether the lawyer has presented cases successfully or not. However, you can get such information from referrals, previous clients of the lawyer, or from the New York Magazine because it usually impartially lists the practices of the best lawyers in New York every year.

It does not matter if you are happy with the legal proceedings and outcomes of your divorce case or not. You will have to pay the divorce attorney you select for the services that he or she provided. You should expect to pay the flat fee you agreed to pay if your divorce case is uncontested and an hourly fee if you have a contested divorce case. Most divorce attorneys avail flexible payment plans to their clients.
