When comparing family law attorneys or lawyers in Chandler, you may want to ask:
- Ask how much experience they have working in family law.
- How long have they been practicing?
- Have you handled cases similar to mine?
- Have they been sanctioned by the Arizona State Bar? If so, why?
- How do you bill for your services?
- Do you charge an advance fee, flat fee, or hourly rate?
- How often will I receive an invoice?
- What payment methods do you accept?
- Why did you choose to practice family law?
A good consultation should help you understand not only the attorney’s experience, but also whether their communication style and approach are a good fit for you.
During your free phone consultation David will give you a tailored list of documents to collect and bring in based on your specific case. In general, it may be helpful to gather:
- Full names, birth dates, Social Security numbers for the parties and children involved
- Home and work addresses for the parties
- Information on owned businesses or assets
- Recent state and federal tax returns
- Recent pay stubs
- Bank statements and other financial records
- Existing court orders, if any
- Any paperwork you have been served with or previously filed
If you do not have access to all of the information, do not stress. Bring what you can. The more information you can provide the easier it will be for your attorney to understand your case and help you use your time efficiently.
