Choosing a San Diego Divorce Attorney

  If you fell and broke your hand, you’d seek a well-qualified specialist.
Your rights in family court and divorce are just as important. So, when you interview a lawyer ask these four questions:

First, are they a certified specialist in Family Law? A certified specialists has passed a second Bar Exam. Few others have. Our proven experience and additional training satisfies the State Bar. We have also undergone thorough background checks that ordinary lawyers don’t do.

Second question: have they conducted at least 3 actual trials in the past 2 years? A lot of attorneys talk big but settle everything out of court. They roll over. It is called “puffing” and we know who they are.

Third, ask them if they’ve been practicing law for 20 years or more, as Scott Family Law has. We used to say that an attorney who has been in practice 5 years is dangerous to himself. And an attorney who has been in practice 10 years is dangerous to himself and those around him.

Finally, in order to assess their experience, ask them what happened after they passed the bar. A lot of lawyers come out of school and "hang a shingle," then take everything from drunk driving, to accidents, to divorce. Be smart and hire someone who specializes in family law. We’re Scott Family Law. Let us come along side and help you.
