When searching for a family lawyer in Oshawa always keep in mind a few things.  First remember that they are there to make money, not to help your kids.  Although they may say they care for you and your situation remember who’s paying the bills.  The family court in Oshawa is a treadmill of lawyers and angry people wanting to fight and battle in court.  

The Oshawa Court House solves very little and causes an enormous amount of stress.

YOU ARE PAYING.

Knowing how to find a good divorce lawyer, or family lawyer, and what qualities to look for is the foundation to taking the steps to hiring a divorce lawyer. A good divorce lawyer is essential to ensuring your needs are met and you get the settlement you want, not a settlement that ruins your life.

Failing to take the time to understand how to find a good family lawyer, or divorce lawyer, will wreck havoc with your life for decades.  Many people who have not sought the proper advise to find a good divorce lawyer but trusted emotional references such as friends and family have found out the hard way through large legal bills.

It’s easy to listen to friends and family when it comes to your separation and divorce needs.  They often will support almost anything you say and tend to adopt your anger.  This doesn’t help when you are looking for an objective view.  A family lawyer, divorce lawyer in Oshawa, can have the same flawed approach.  Many cheap divorce lawyer or so called caring lawyers realize that your emotional state clouds your judgement.  Knowing this they can take full advantage of you and drive the cost of your divorce through the roof.  It’s only after the dust has settled to you realize how foolish you were.

How do you find a good divorce lawyer in Oshawa?

First, be fully aware that divorce lawyers in Oshawa have to make money.  They are a business and businesses need customers.  You’re the customer, not their friend.  Advertisements and other forms of attracting you to their door are all meant to do just that.  They like other businesses use marketing companies to drive up business. This ads can and often do mislead and border on lying as many other forms of advertising.  Always remember that they run a money making family law firm, not a free legal aid advice firm.  

Here are some basic things to consider when looking for a divorce lawyer in Oshawa.

Find a family lawyer in Oshawa that specializes in divorce (I know sounds obvious but not all do).  A divorce lawyer in the Durham Region whose specialty is family law (and has done this for some time) will have a greater depth of experience and knowledge in family law in the Durham Region.

Although this may seem very obvious one has to consider this.  Unlike the medical profession the legal profession does not have any ‘rules’ as to when and how a lawyer can call themselves a ‘specialist’.  This sets up a situation where any lawyer can change their ‘expertise’ when needed.  Combine this with the reality a divorce firm in Oshawa is a business no different the used car dealership down the road many family law firms in Oshawa will adapt in order to stay in business.  This type of lawyer becomes a jack of all trades and master of none.  Avoid them like the plague.

Look for a divorce lawyer with extensive experience. Find a divorce lawyer who has been practicing for some years and has practiced for many or most of these as a family law and divorce specialist. Importantly, check that a divorce lawyer has sufficient experience in the Oshawa Family Courts.

Tips On Finding a Good Family Lawyer

Ok these tips aren’t going to be your usual white washed legal advise but rather based on real experience.

Ask for references

If your lawyer gives you the car salesman line, don’t you trust me or something along those lines, run for the hills.

Drive the ship

Always remember who is paying the bill, it’s you did you forget?  Many lawyers pray on your anger and formulate plans to exact it at your ex.  Now really what they are doing is putting blinders on you and leading down the path.  Take control and learn early to say NO to your lawyer.

Double check with SOME family or friends

Now be very careful here.  Asking for advice from your cheerleaders can and often does get you in more trouble.  Find someone who doesn’t hate your ex like you do and someone who can say no to you.  This person will help guide you better then anyone else.

Get free advise

Many courts have a free advise center.  Depending on your income you will either get procedural advise or detailed advise.  I suggest you don’t let them know you already have a lawyer and make them think that you’re looking for one. This way you will get some ‘extra’ advise to help keep you and your real lawyer in check.

Having these basic tips when going through what is often called hell will help to keep you guided in a healthy direction.
