In divorce and other family law proceedings, the attorney you choose can make the difference in your case. In light of this, it is a good idea to take time to find a lawyer who is not only highly qualified, but who you also feel comfortable working with. It’s also a good idea to find a Colorado family law attorney who seems to have a familiarity with the courts handling both divorce and custody cases.

Divorce and family law involve specific and complex legal principles which take time and practice to master, so make sure you do your homework beforehand to ensure your attorney has what it takes to help you resolve your case efficiently, effectively, and in a timely manner.

In order to help you select the right divorce lawyer, keep these questions in mind to ask prospective candidates:

What kind of experience do you have?
Do you specialize in divorce and family law cases in Colorado, or are they just part of your practice?
Can I call you to discuss the status of my case?
What is your strategy for my case?
Are your rates competitive?
Does your firm practice in the court or county my case is in?
What is the likely outcome of my case?
