Top Divorce Lawyers

Q: I'm just starting out on this after 18 years of marriage. Anybody have any suggestions about how, where to search out the best divorce lawyer in Nashville, TN? Can anyone give me some suggestions???

A: First, there is no such thing as a "good divorce lawyer." They're all scum-sucking money-grubbing leeches. Secondly, don't try and find an attorney who's honest, ethical, and moral . Look for the sleaziest, slimiest, bottom-feeder who is only out to "WIN" at any cost. I'm sure that your stbx is already looking for the same. Ask around. Just about everyone you meet from your barber to your vet is divorced and will have a recommendation. Ask the Clerk of the Court which lawyers file the most divorces. It doesn't speak to quality, but you can get some information from the Lawyer Locator at http://www.martindalehubble.com/. Make sure that they practice family law primarily or exclusively; it's a complex field and a part-timer won't do you justice. If there are children involved, check to see if there's a local affiliate of ACFC (http://www.acfc.org) or CRC (http:/www.gocrc.com). They may be able to refer you to a strong fathers' rights advocate which will help your children as much or more as it helps you.
