- There are a number of well-known directories that
will help you find a lawyer that matches your needs. If you are looking
for an attorney to handle your divorce you should make sure that the
attorney specializes in family law and can represent that at least 50%
of the matters that he or she handles are family law and divorce
matters.
- There are some lawyers who are offering what is known
as "unbundled " or "limited"
legal services. This means that they will assist you in undertaking a
limited task and do not take over your entire case or require a large
un-front retainer. For many "pro se" litigants, purchasing limited legal
services, may be just the solution that you need that enables you to
keep your legal costs reasonable, while you take on the burden of filing
your documents. Unfortunately, you will find very few law firms that
offer this kind of service in these on-line legal directories.

- You will find even fewer law firms that specialize in
divorce law, offering limited legal services over the Internet. Many of
the law firms that advertise on the Internet charge their regular fees
for a divorce. Even a simple, "uncontested" divorce can cost you
thousands of dollars in legal fees.
