    I need answers
    I am asking for help in trying to answer questions on how to go about getting a lawyer that's deals with getting custody of my son, I am not sure on how to go about looking for a lawyer or what I am to ask them once I do have one. Also I am wondering if there are lawyers that are out there that accept payments or even have the option for payments to be made. If anyone out there might be able to help me I am all eyes and ears to what you have to say.
    Thank you a mom in need of some help

    I did find something that might be a partial answer for you. It is from the following site: Lawyer Background check, Check Attorney, Check Lawyer, Check Solicitor, Screen Lawyer

    Questions to consider before selecting an Attorney

    Is the Attorney a certified specialist for the legal scope of your problem?

    How long has the attorney been in practice?

    Will the Attorney be doing the work himself or herself and if not then who will?

    What will be the fees?

    Are there any retainers and how does the retainer fees work?

    What other costs will be involved in addition to the fees?

    Can the Attorney give you an estimate of the total costs of the proceeding?

    How does the Attorney bill and does he itemize the time spent?

    How will the payments be made and will there be a payment schedule?

    Does the Attorney have malpractice insurance and how much is it?

    What does the Attorney expect you to do?

    You might want to also give the following site a try. A lot of the lawyers are rated by their peers on it.

    Martindale.com: Use our lawyer locator or browse our attorney directory
