Question by myBMisAhater: HOW TO FIND A GOOD CUSTODY LAWYER?
I’m currently trying to find a good lawyer for a future non-avoidable custody hearing. I am in the beginning process of trying to request mediation for an attempt to have visitation rights from my child’s mother, and I know I will eventually have to go to court to force her to follow the mediation (if she even goes). I hear things about “having a good lawyer”, but I do not know how to narrow the search down. I have been told that you can not exactly view how many cases they have won or lost, so I am trying to not overpay and end up with some idiot who screws me in court. Can anyone help out on this and possibly give me some tips on how to get the ball rolling on the research before I go to war…please? Also if you have any helpful tips on do’s and donts from now through all the hearing and children services stuff ANY info from here on can help!
