The selection of a divorce lawyer is a personal decision that can only be made by the client. The client should not rely solely upon advertising regardless of whether it is by print, radio, television or online. A client should become thoroughly familiar with a lawyer’s qualifications and his or her ethical standards. A lawyer is rated by their legal expertise and ethical standards by organizations such as www.martindale.com and www.lawyers.com.

Additionally, an invaluable resource regarding whether an attorney has violated any ethical rules may be found at The Florida Bar’s website: www.flabar.org. In the “Find a Lawyer” section, type in the lawyer’s name. When the attorney’s name is displayed, select the name and scroll down the page and under “10 Year Discipline History,” it will display the name of the action and the type of discipline the lawyer was given.

For information regarding a lawyer’s contact information, areas of practice and discipline history: www.flabar.org.
