Don't have any friends/relatives that went through with a divorce here to ask.
Seems like there are a ton of fake reviews online (one lawyer with over 1,000+ reviews all 5 stars on google) when most other lawyers have single digit reviews....
Of course every one claims to be the best etc.
Don't care about the fees.
But don't want to someone to take me for a ride and bill me for hours for telling my life story if he's just going to settle out of court. But also don't want someone who isn't willingly to fight. Had a family member in another state go through a divorce and said his attorney was more of an accountant...just wanted to see all his money and try to divide it up without trying to go to court or caring. By caring I don't mean holding your hand; like he'd say his wife did X, Y or Z and the lawyer would just say "courts won't care....have you got your finances prepared yet? work on that"
No kids, honestly just my finances in question. I have a high earning job she earns very very little, although she might have a savings of $300k in bank. She didn't help me get my job, I had it well before her, so I'm definitely not giving her half .
As far as how she has $300k, she doesn't spend a dime. So the whole judge ruling a divorce so that lifestyles don't change might help me that she's extremely frugal
