Finding a Family Law Attorney

When searching for a family law attorney, there are few items that you need to take into consideration.

First, where is the attorney located? Is the attorney located in or near the courthouse where your case will be heard? Would you rather have the attorney close to your home or work so that you can meet easily with the attorney?

Second, has the attorney handled your type of case before? Most attorneys offer free consultations or consultations for a small fee. During this consultation, ask the attorney how many cases like your case that he/she has handled. Ask how long the attorney has been practicing in the area of family law and has she/he ever had a case in the county where the action is taking place.

Third, make sure you feel comfortable with the attorney. If your gut tells you not to hire the attorney, listen to your gut. You want to work with an attorney that you feel comfortable with.

Finally, ask others about what attorney they have used.

H. Swisher Law Firm LLC offers free consultations. I have appeared and handled cases in Anoka, Sherburne, Mille Lacs, Benton, Isanti, Wright, Chisago, Ramsey, Stearns, and Hennepin County. I meet clients in Elk River, Coon Rapids and St. Francis. I have been a family law attorney for over four years and I have experience as a child support officer and legal assistant. Please feel free to contact me for a consultation.
