How to Take Advantage of Free Divorce Consultations

One of the most daunting parts about choosing a divorce attorney is paying to talk to one. I mean, they cost a lot. And the idea of paying for an initial consultation just so you can see if you might want to hire an attorney isn’t that appealing sometimes.

This is where divorce consultations come in to play. Many Utah divorce and family law attorneys offer divorce consultations as a way to get people in the door. Take advantage of this.

If I were in your shoes, I would be selective regarding who I scheduled a divorce consultation with. Don’t just pick ten names from the internet. Do some homework first. Read reviews. Read bios. See what percentage of divorce law an attorney practices.

After you’ve done this initial leg work, decide on three to five attorneys you really want to sit down and talk with. (Any more than five and you’ll lose track. Heck, I can’t even keep more than five attorneys straight, and I am one.)

When you sit down with these attorneys, treat their time with respect. If an attorney thinks your wasting time asking a few general questions, he or she will shut off. Come to every divorce consultation with the intent to find out as much about an attorney as possible.

With this in mind, decide the questions you want to ask beforehand, and try to limit your consultation to thirty minutes. You’ll know within just a few minutes whether you and a particular attorney are a good fit, so there’s no need to spend tons of time talking. (It’s kind of like dating: you know within about ten minutes whether you’re in to your date.)

Take notes during your consultation. After you’ve met with all the attorneys, compare notes. Determine whom you were most comfortable with, whom you thought was most knowledgeable, and who treated you with the most respect. Then, make a decision.

Like I said, you can find a good Utah divorce and family law attorney if you take proper advantage of divorce consultations. Be intentional in your search; it will pay off.

I’m so grateful for attorney Nicholas Schwarz and paralegal Carren Leavitt at Brown Family Law. From day one, they were ready to work with me immediately, making my case feel like a top priority. Their organization is exceptional, every detail was handled with care and efficiency. Most importantly, their commitment to communication stood out. They kept me informed every step of the way, answered questions promptly, and made sure I fully understood my options.

If you want a legal team that is proactive, organized, and truly dedicated to their clients, I highly recommend Nicholas and Carren at Brown Family Law.

Loved working with Daniel and the whole team. Great service.
Marco and his team at Brown Family Law have created nearly the perfect system for getting divorced in Utah. From the initial intake, to gathering all of the necessary documentation, to the client communication in between. There is so much work that goes into getting divorced, but with Marco and his team you'll always know where you are in the process and what happens next, which is such a comfort. Would highly recommend.
I would give them 10 stars if I could. Clay was professional and super organized. He took the time to explain everything. I would highly recommend him for any family law needed. Melanie was a godsend. She not only kept me continually informed of the progress, she sent texts of encouragement and support throughout the entire process. I would give her 100 stars for going above and beyond to make this experience less stressful. Her encouragement and genuine caring were comforting and calming. The entire staff at Brown Law are on your side and if you are lucky enough to get Clay and Melanie on your team you will not be disappointed. Thanks! Mack M.
Response from the owner:Wow, thank you so much. Melanie is great. Glad she helped you so well.
Nathaniel was an incredible partner throughout the divorce process. He was organized, responsive and respectful of my wishes while simultaneously giving me guidance and advice. I would recommend him to anyone.
