5 Things Every Family Law Client Should Know 1. Hire an attorney who is experienced and knowledgeable of the family law procedures in the county and court where your case is located.

4. Every family law matter requires an attorney.
No matter how simply or complicated your case may be, every family law case requires the expertise of a licensed attorney.
