Number 9 on the Top Ten List- Getting a lawyer

Don't get me wrong- once you get one, one you really REALLY trust, it will be one of the best felings in the world. . .the the process of actually finding that one trusted ally is. . .well. . .hard.

Get advice from friends and relatives look up things on the net, but in the end you will end up telling the tale to many, over and over with different responses that will impress, touch and in some cases repel you. . .be warned!

As usual, I have a few examples of the good, the bad, and the ugly

Contestant #1- "Well, so what you are telling me is that he cheated on you, abused you, and now you want to divorce him?"

Me- Um yes- where do I start?

C#1- With my retainer fee- then we will see what we can do for you. . .

NEXT Contestant

C#2- So, that is a very very tough situation.

Me- Umm, yes.

C#2-You realize that his cheating and abuse will not get you any more money. . .as a no fault state, we have laws that cannot be swayed by pity stories like you. . .um where are you going

Door slamming

C#3- How are you doing through all this?

Me- ?

C#3- Do you have any support networks, do you have family that can get you through this?

Me- No, not really near by. . .

C#3- Before we begin anything, let's get you connected with some resources. . .you look unwell, the stress is in your body and face. . .and while we do that, let me see what is out there, so we can plan our case, that is, if you decide to go with my firm.

Me- Thanks so very much. . .

So, a lawyer was found. . .
