Finding the right lawyer for your separation or divorce is a big decision, and choosing the wrong one can cost you time, money, and unnecessary stress. But how do you know who’s the best fit for your situation? And once you book that first meeting, how do you make sure you get real value from it?

In this episode, we’re tackling three key questions that will set you up for success:

• How do you find a lawyer who’s the best fit for you? We’ll break down where to look, what to consider, and why recommendations aren’t always enough.
• How can you prepare for your first meeting? From knowing what documents to bring to asking the right questions, we’ll help you show up prepared and avoid wasting billable hours.
• What should you expect from that first consultation? We’ll walk you through the process, explain how legal fees work, and discuss what to do if you don’t feel like the lawyer is the right match.

Plus, we’ll cover how to research a lawyer’s background (including checking for disciplinary actions through the Law Society and reviewing case history on CanLII).

Whether you’re just starting to explore your legal options or ready to book your first consultation, this episode will help you avoid costly mistakes, save time, and feel empowered in your decision-making.
