Looking for some advice on how to find a really good attorney to deal with custody. I live in the Orlando, Florida area and truthfully don’t know where to begin. Most Google searches turn up thousands of attorneys. Is there a vetted website to find honest reviews?

Try contacting the local Bar Association for the county Orlando is a part of & ask if they have a referral service. Attorneys in the area who belong to the local Bar who specialize in family law can be part of the Bar’s referral device for custody cases if they meet certain criteria. Also, word of mouth. Best way.

The state Bar Association will have a Family Law Section. You could try that but word of mouth is where people usually get those referrals. We have a website where we talk about our experience with custody cases in our state. Interview attorneys & ask if they have actually been to trial. The more experience the better & you’ll have to pay for that for a trial attorney.

Am I being paid competitively? I have been the Onboarding Sup for my HR dept for over a year now and I’m being paid the state min for salary, which for CA is 62,400.

I bring a background from the clinical operations of my company, scheduling, field work, and what the average employee faces. I want to look else where but I’m not sure.

How do you as the attorney balance your advice with your client’s wishes? Meaning when what the client wants is not, in your opinion, in their best interest, when they want to settle for less “to be done,” or pay more “to get him out of the house,” when do you stop pushing back and give in? I’ve lost at least one client before for pushing too hard to get what they were entitled to when they wanted to give in and I’m fear I’m facing something similar now.

I’m a second year associate at a small, but reputable firm.

I’ve run into an issue a couple of times where the client doubts my advice because I am only 2 years in. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I address the fact that I’m only 2 years in?

Hello Fam Law attys!

I am in my second year as a attorney, I was a FL paralegal before law school and would eventually like to end up there again. I am in a very small rural area, pretty much only solos, and no FL solos appear to be hiring/expanding at this time.

Do you think experience as a DA or PD would be valuable, with my eye toward a future in FL? Both for the skills gained, and/or as a resume piece?

TY!
