When you’re going through a divorce, the last thing you want to worry about is feeling disconnected from your attorney and the outcome of your case. With so much at stake, you need to ensure you are getting what you need from your legal counsel.
To start, hire a divorce attorney with whom you have a sense of camaraderie and who you feel comfortable will keep you regularly updated on your case. There are also some things you can do on your end to encourage the high level of communication between the two of you. These include the following:
- Discuss your communication preferences: From the start of your working relationship, tell your attorney the ways in which you prefer to receive information. This may be through email, a phone call or in person. Your lawyer should be willing to use whichever communication channels work best for you.
- Think about your questions ahead of time: Before you speak with your lawyer, think about all the questions you have and write them down. This will help you stay organized and ensure you make the best use of your time. You’ll also avoid kicking yourself when you leave a meeting and realize you forgot to discuss an important matter.
- Be open and honest: Try to build a level of trust with your attorney and be honest about any and all concerns you might have about your divorce case. Don’t hold anything back. In general, your attorney will be able to serve you better if he or she has as much information and context as possible.
