Florida Uncontested Divorce – Should You Hire Attorneys Found on
The Web?
It’s no secret that
attorney advertising, just like everything else, has made it online. Any online search will return not only
information about divorce but also lots of attorney advertisements. Of course,
these ads include ads for uncontested Florida
divorces.
But how do you know
you are dealing with a real attorney?
How can you find out more about the attorney from a source other than
their website?
I recently had this
discussion with a client who found me through an online search for uncontested
divorce lawyer in Miami, Florida.
After speaking on the phone with me, I sent him a questionnaire and a
retainer agreement to complete and make payment; he completed the documents and faxed them to
me. Afterwards, he says he had second
thoughts about hiring me without meeting me, including wondering whether I was
a real attorney or just someone with a web site and phone.
These are real
concerns, especially when we are constantly hearing about scams involving the
internet and fraudulent transactions.
Fortunately, for those
looking to do their uncontested Florida divorces and use the convenience of
hiring attorneys who, like me, have taken advantage of technology to deliver
affordable solutions to legal problems, there
is an easy way to verify that the attorney you want to hire is, in fact, an
attorney.
The Florida Bar
provides a search feature for you to determine if the person you are about to
hire is a practicing attorney. All you
need is a name and a visit to Find a Lawyer at The Florida Bar site to
find out more about them.
For Florida uncontested
divorces, many of my clients meet me on the day of the final hearing. But between the time they phone me and the
time they see me, we both work together to make sure that their uncontested
divorce goes according to plan.
