One of the first things you need to do is talk to your family to help them find the best divorce lawyer. Maybe your brothers, sisters or parents may have valuable contacts who can help you find the best divorce lawyer to provide a representation of you throughout the legal process.
Secondly, you should consult your friends and ask them if they know of any good lawyers in your area. It is likely that 50% of people in their social circle and had a divorce. Therefore, they will be able to help with suggestions on what lawyer to hire. They can provide details of some good lawyers.
Then, if you can not talk to friends or family to find a good lawyer, then you should get suggestions from people you work with. This allows you to avoid revealing too much personal information about the people closest to you. In addition, co-workers should be able to give details of some lawyers in your area. You will find that most of your colleagues have sympathy for your situation too.
Then you need to make a short list of no more than five lawyers. Analyze the information given to you on these professionals to their friends, colleagues or family. This allows you to narrow your choices down.
Decide what questions are asked the lawyer intends to hire. For example, you should prepare questions about the charges, how long the whole process, the documents you need to provide and visitation rights. You need to prepare several copies of your questions, so you can record the reactions of different lawyers.
Finally, in contact with each lawyer and arrange a time where you can ask these questions, make sure you write down the answers you receive. After evaluating the answers you get, and spend some time thinking about what the lawyer would be the best option for your situation, you are ready to hire a lawyer to represent your case.
