Legal Fees: 10 Questions to Ask Your Tennessee Divorce Attorney

When you are choosing a Memphis divorce attorney to represent you, one of the important things to discuss first are legal fees. With enough stress and concerns surrounding a divorce, the last thing you need is to wonder how much you can expect to pay.

Here are 10 questions to ask your divorce attorney when it comes to legal fees: 

• Do you charge by the hour, and if so, how much?
• Do you charge a flat fee, and if so, how much?
• What is the retainer fee?
• Will you send me an itemized bill?
• Can you provide a written agreement regarding legal fees?
• Will I sign a contract that details our fee arrangement?
• Are you able to provide an estimate of how much my divorce will cost?
• If my case were to go to trial, would I be charged additional fees?
• Will I be charged for office expenses?
• Are there any other fees that I should anticipate having to pay?

These are questions you should ask when choosing a divorce attorney for your case. Although legal fees are important, remember that experience and knowledge of family law is just as important.
