How to Locate the Best NJ Divorce Lawyer for You

If divorce is looming, it is highly advisable that you consult with an experienced family law attorney in or about the county where the marital home is located. Representing yourself is permissible, but fraught with pitfalls. In selecting an attorney, you should look for someone who dedicates his or her practice to family law, is recognized in the legal community as being knowledgeable, professional and a strong advocate. You may also consider some or all of the following attributes: routinely writes and speaks to the bench and bar on family law, is certified by the Supreme Court as a Matrimonial Law Attorney, is a member of the Executive Committee of the Family Law Section of the New Jersey State Bar Assoc., and/or is a Fellow in the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, has served on Supreme Court Committees, embraces Alternative Dispute Resolution (i.e., mediation and arbitration), and has been recognized by his or her peers via Best Lawyers and/or Super Lawyers.
