How Does One Look For A Trustworthy Lawyer In A State Not The Same As One's State Of Home?

Postby bentleigh » Mon Dec 23, 2013 10:10 am

related to divorce, I am having difficulty discovering a lawyer that my ex has not talked to... As in Sopranos, everyone I go to discovers there's a & quotconflict of interest"

I would commence at the extremely best by contacting the state bar association concerning the situation, prior to going out-of state. You're Likely TO Pay Significantly Much more, if you've to-go out-of-state! Seems like you need certainly to speak with the clerk of court and drop to the courthouse, who might direct you to a diverse attorney or permit you to talk with a judge about your problem.

Go to martindale.com Use the Lawyer Locator on the left side of the page. Be sure and pick the city and state you need and check "Family Law" under areas of practice. Also(this is important) check the "Featured Peer Review Rated" box to bring up attorneys who have been rated by their peers. Then compare the resulting attorneys. At that point you will have to register which is free and fast...no big deal. Good luck !

The talking to every lawyer that you can game is an old Family Law trick. You can beat it. When I was in private practice, I learned about this trick in a seminar. If X wants to do or file something in a Family Law case, X will go around and seek counsel from every lawyer in an area that handled family cases, thereby creating a conflict of interest.    Here is the link to Martindale Hubell, which is the oldest, msot respected lawyer locating outfit around.  http://www.martindale.com/   Start calling NM lawyers who take family cases. I doubt seriously that your ex actually contacted every lawyer in NM who might possibly take your case. So, odds will favor you finding someone.   Even if your ex is a true fanatic, and contacted evey lawyer in New Mexico, there is a flaw in the system. It lists lawyers by where they office. This is important because NM has a long border with Texas, Arizona and Colorado. It isn't at all unusual for lawyers who practice on one side of a state line to be licensed in both states.   So, eventually you'll find a lawyer.   Another approach would be to have a California lawyer make arrangements with a NM lawyer to assist him or her appear pro hac vice, which means the out of state lawyer can appear in the other state's courts  just for that case. Most states will allow this, so that would be another option.   Good luck!     http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/images/usa/new-mexico.jpg   Sources: experience and cited above   Snow_Leopard's Recommendations NEW MEXICO SHOT GLASS WITH ROADRUNNER New Mexico License Plate Witness to Roswell: Unmasking the 60-Year Cover-Up Amazon List Price: $14.99 Used from: $7.95 Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5(based on 27 reviews) Snow_Leopard 73 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment.

have to go out of state, YOU'RE GOING TO PAY A LOT MORE! Sounds like you need to go down to the courthouse and speak with the clerk of court, who may direct you to another lawyer or allow you to chat with a judge about your dilemma. g/l
