When you are hiring a divorce and custody attorney, remember that you will often be hiring someone who will be charging you for his or her time which is expended on your behalf.
If you hire counsel from out of town, rather than only billing you for time spent talking to you or drafting documents in your case, he or she may also be billing you for travel time to any meetings or court hearings.
Additionally, attorneys’ billable rates and fees may vary widely depending on the location and scope of the attorney’s practice, so you should inquire about that and be knowledgeable regarding what the range of rates is for the county where your case is filed.
If you have any questions about divorce and custody, or any family law matter, please give us a call at Bononi & Company (724) 832-2499.
