I don't know. I am on my second attorney. I thought he was better but he is as much of a bottom feeder as the first one. I mean I realize divorce attorneys have to be somewhat of dirty rotten scoundrels to do what they do but I just want a civil human being to represent me. Are they all creeps and slimeballs. I mean I get the impression they would sell their mother for the right price.

LOVED mine. He was actually the grandfather of one of my students, and his daughter had him call me. He called, gave me his cell number to use "at any time", and arranged to meet me for breakfast on Saturday so I didn't have to take off work.
Not only did we meet Saturday morning, but HE bought us breakfast. He did everything on my divorce, and has never sent me a bill, which I'm not too comfortable with. We saw each other again after divorce was final at the birthday party of another of my students, and hung out for awhile. He is a good man, and a great attorney who has practiced divorce law for a LONG time.
It's rare, I'll grant you, but it happens. :)

I have the utmost respect for my attorney. In addition, I not only like her as my attorney, I like her as a person.
She stood by me through thick and thin and did a good job for me and I have a fair and decent settlement. If I called and she was unavailable, she would always return my call the same day.
She can be as rough as she needs to be and that is exactly what I needed during the long drawn out process. She helped me to be a stronger person, to toughen up and think of ex as an enemy that I had to fight to get to that fair and equitable settlement. Once I hired her as my attorney she told me that I now had someone in my corner who would not let me be taken advantage of financially and she lived up to those words.
Wish I could say that she never sent me a bill, but that is not the case. She was well worth the price though.

My attorney is an old sailing buddy - I used to crew for him, so did my Ex. David is a friend, and more like a big brother now than ever.
My ex and I shared his services - this was an uncontested divorce. However, since I filed the intital complaint, he kinda looked out for me. While he looked after both of our interests - fact is, he saw things for what they were, and he "leaned" towards my side. He was the first to tell me "you didn't loose a thing". He also made it abundantly clear to me that my life wasn't over. He even dangled a couple of cute paralegals out there to boost my self esteem and morale when I was so very down on my self.
David is golden. I gladly paid his fee, and presented him with a couple of bottles of fine wine, and some Godiva for his secretary once we got out of the hearing.
Looks like he needs some crew again... ;)

Wow. Nice to hear that there are some good experiences out there with lawyers. I get tired of hearing all the slurs.

Asking if someone likes their divorce lawyer is like saying "Do any of you like getting an enema when you're constipated?". You know it is going to be painful. You know it is going to be messy. You just hope you are going to feel better when it is over.

I adore my attorney. He is a friend as well as an attorney. Find a new one that you trust. I know mine is a good guy. And Maury's okay ;)

Mine was a waste of money, I should have just went to the garbage and threw all the money there maybe a homeless guy would have found it.
1- Never returns phone calls or emails.
2- Never let me know when court was.
3- Would call me the same day court was like an hour before
4- Never sends the paper work, court order
5- Files the wrong motions
6- Didn't get me anything I asked for
7- Lack of knowlegde, imagine my wife was the one telling her about the laws here (shes studing for paralegal)

EGAD!
Why didn't you change lawyers? One call on the same day of court should have been enough.
