Reading the roster in Los Angeles. In a family matter you will likely work with your attorney for months, so weigh responsiveness and temperament alongside experience in the county's family law departments, local practice on disclosures, mediation, and settlement conferences varies by court. Ask how the attorney bills (family law is typically hourly with a retainer), how they approach settlement versus litigation, and who in the office handles day-to-day filings.
