As you may know, we're in the market for a lawyer however we don't really know anyone that has gone thru this process so we don't really have any "referrals". So my question is, those of you that have gone thru this process, do you have any tips on finding a good lawyer? I've made some calls and I'm not getting calls returned and that worries me. We want someone that will communicate with us that has an "open door" policy so to speak... Does this even exist when it comes to lawyers? Dh and I feel so lost in this search... Help? Smile

Btw, sorry to blog hog Sad

Oh wow, I never thought of maybe going the route of asking someone like that... I'm trying to brainstorm of WHO I could possbily ask for a referral.

That is what we want, someone very open and returns calls.

At this point I feel like what Dh is very simple. What he wants is a visitation order )CS is established however Bm and DH never did their parenting plan), a meeting place to exchange Ss if not at least get credit for transportation because bm lives almost an hour away and refuses to do any transportation, holidays for every other year, contact via email/text/family wizard only due to Bm being so high conflict and 3 weeks in the summer uninterrupted for whatever plans we have. I feel like these things are very standard requests.

In regards to the "open door policy" I mean like, getting questions answered timely and being polite to the client (me). I called an office a week ago and haven't heard a peep in regards to a consultation appt. I also called another office yesterday and the secretary was very rude and I haven't heard anything back. So far I feel like I've just been bothersome and I don't know if that's normal when you're dealing with lawyers/lawyers offices.
