I'm with Cadence. Having a little insight into your situation, there is nothing that yet sounds off bells in terms of you needing to rush out and do anything. I will be posting an update shortly on my own thread that shows things do change, as we would expect.
I'm sorry, but I don't see the need for the most expensive lawyer in town. I went against that route in hiring my own attorney. I found a solo that knows her stuff and is an ethical biller. When you go with the hotshot you will largely get an associate doing the work with the senior partner sticking his nose in now and again (and boy will you see the time on the bill). No one person is really going to know your case and be on top of it.
Make the appointment if it makes you comfortable to do so, but in the meantime keep shopping for a single person that is going to work on your case that you feel comfortable with and who understands your goals.
I have no idea on AL law, but I'd want to get in and talk to someone I trust.
Go to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and find someone in your area. These are folks who specialize in family law (do not go with an attorney who will help you with an auto accident, divorce, will and estate or criminal case). You want a specialist who knows their stuff and devotes their time to this practice. That way you are not paying for them to come up to speed and they can advise you up front.
