☛ How many matrimonial cases have you handled?

☛ How many of those cases went to trial? (An attorney who has done a lot of trials might not be a good negotiator. Keep that in mind, especially when the lawyer hasn't been in practice very long.)

☛ How many of these cases involved custody, support, business valuations, large financial settlements, or whatever issue feels like your major concern?

☛ Where did you go to law school? (Don't ask if the diploma is staring you in the face.)

☛ Are you experienced in unbundled divorce (or collaborative divorce, or whatever style of divorce you hope to enter)?

☛ Do you have the time to take on a new case now?

☛ Do you know my husband (or wife)?

☛ Do you know his or her attorney?
