Hired Attorney 2020Carly was hired to mediate the division of my partner and I's house, that we both owned as shown in the title/deed to the property. At the end of our first mediation session, we were actually further away from coming to an agreement than when my partner and I discussed it on our own. I was offered less than 3% of the equity on the house. (Which all the lawyers I talked to said was insane.) Carly was argumentative and combative during the mediation sessions. She didn't use normal mediation practices, like separating the couples and listening to arguments separately. She raised her voice at me and told me to stop talking when I was in the middle of a sentence and at the end of our 2nd mediation session, (after my partner and I had to lawyer up) we both agreed just to handle it outside of the mediation. Since removing Carly as the mediator, things have gone a lot smoother. I wish I wouldn't have wasted a lot of money on a mediator that didn't follow standard mediation practices to deescalate a contentious matter. I would save your money and higher another mediator or just let both your partner's lawyer and your own handle it.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
