UGH...I meet with the L in 2 1/2 hours. I am dreading it. K, this L is very aggressive. I don't know if I will use him, but he is on my list of ones to meet with. I feel sick to my stomach just thinking about it....not what I want to do at all. I know though that is something I have to do.

I went to 3. On of them was a high class, celebrities lawyer that sounded very agressive. I cried all the way to his office a week before Christmas.
I sit down give him the figures, he asks "how much would make you happy", I tell him and he says "well, that's not much, you can definitely have it legally". So I must have caught his attention for not being absurd and he asks about details. I tell him and in the end he says "take your copies back, you are not divorcing, call me if you need me but you will not need me"... He was a shark I think you call them? Don't be afraid. K
K, Guess what the L had on his desk....a shark!! LOL Unfortunately he didn't say that we won't be getting a D. Basically he said it is time to move on, here is what you need to do and here is what I can get you. I liked him even though he has a ruthless reputation. He didn't come off that way at all. Very pricey though, so I may look at a couple more that were recommended.

Some of these guys think that it's their job to end the marriage for you. Some actually realize they are there to do what you ask. That could be helping to save your marriage.
Find someone you trust. I'm concerned that based on that limited amount of info he can make that conclusion. But, it's your call. I met with a few of them until I found a person I felt had my best interests at heart.
