Can you get a free consultation with a lawyer on if the lawyer you currently have is representing you the best?
Find answers to your legal question.

i have a friend who recently divorced last year and the other spouse is dragging things out and ringing up the bills especially with the lawyer.

can she go to another lawyer for free consultation to see if that lawyer is representing her interests? is there a after divorce lawyer you can go to if you have a stubborn spouse?

My husband was a divorce lawyer and he did a lot of free consultations.
Call the State Bar Association , it is in your telephone directory. Ask them for three attorneys names that handle your type of problem.

Ask them about any complaints against your current attorney and they will inform you. of all. You can also ask if any of the attorneys they recommend have had any complaints against them.as well.

Usually, when a spouse has left he will have to be responsible for his own bills re: attorney and the court will make him pay...

You can go to the County Courthouse and go to the Law Library where they have Martin and Hubbel directories that list all attorneys and they are rated....A, B, C, D .You want at least an attorney that has a B rating.
