Did I do something wrong again???? I asked questions of a lawyer before consult and the As suggested it is imperative that i speak with at least a few lawyers before settling one.
I was slightly uncomfortable paying $400 up front to review easy to resolve finances as cash, home, rrsp's and in our case no loans or credit. - simple (it is already on a side by side ledger of sorts with three columns me-us-stbx) and $400 "down the drain". The lawyer I had an appointment decided not to go forward with the consultation based on my questions. I still need to find a lawyer for me.
I contacted the divorce specialist law firm here in town and as i spoke with a clerk or two an appointment was set up for a consult - $400. I was offered an opportunity to ask a few questions regarding any issues i may have beforehand to get the best of a $400 appointment.
The first was a simple one in that they have multiple divorce only lawyers - the question was:
1. If I consult with one attourney is that mean that i would only be served diectly by that particular lawyer or is thier practice one that several lawyers can be part of my file depending on need and particular experience that matched my needs.
Actually did quite a bit of reading this weekend and based on what i read I then asked two questions:
2. Is this particular lawyer fair and willing to treat both sexes equally in that our gender roles are essentially switched and that is ok as it is I who have the various claims under the excluded and exempted sections.
3. Is the lawyer up to date on the various issues that involved my inheritance, my work accident and the related different payments and money I received thru the WCB and the CPP Disability program. I would hope to not have a bunch of I do not know's but instead an opportunity to support or dispell the "claims" i found under the few basic sections in the acts and what will be the steps to bring resolution to our disageements.
Do these questions appear straight foward and to the point?
