[quote=Anonymous]Make sure they know you will not allow block billing. All tasks must be individually written out in separate time entries on the invoices. 
One lawyer per task. No two lawyers can bill for same task. 
If an assistant (non billing timekeeper) can complete a task then that individual should be assigned the task. 
Do not allow your attorney to go back and forth with the other attorney. They love talking to each other to ring up the bills. 
Ask for estimates before large tasks must be done and ask what you can do instead of them to save yourself some money. 
An attorney in a pitch meeting to win your business is not necessarily the same personality you will see once that attorney is engaged. 
Don’t expect Clarence Darrow or Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The DMV divorce bar is not where the most highly credentialed attorneys go to practice law. If you want to find a good lawyer, don’t look for a divorce lawyer, find a lawyer specializing in another field for another matter. The best you can hope for is a competent lawyer who is not out to rip you and your children off. 
I am sorry you are about to go through this. It’s terrible. [/quote]
