FAQ
Sometimes people do not understand how legal representation works and have questions about hiring an attorney. Technically, you do not need an attorney to represent you in the divorce process. However, if your spouse has retained an attorney, it is a wise choice for you to have a divorce lawyer if your spouse has one.
