When I was out "shopping" for a lawyer, I made a list of questions to ask them. If you feel comfortable asking around, then do so. I would do a google search on them and see what comes up. I would look for those who give a free consult and then you should be able to determine from the first meeting if they are going to represent you properly. Once you have interviewed them, then make a list of the pros and cons of your impression of them. You should then be able to determine which one is the better fit.
At each interview, I stated my situation and watched the lawyer. I asked each of them if they were familiar with MLC. I then asked how many cases of MLC marriage breakups had they been involved in. If he/she is an honest lawyer, they will tell answer your questions honestly. From there, I then asked how we would proceed. I then thanked each one and came home and made my list and the one I choose was the most honest one of all who told me that it would take many months and much frustration to lock down my MLC husband because he would be irrational and nothing would please him. He was right...
I hope my experience will help you a wee bit.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
