Law Firm of Walter K Schreyer How To Resolve Legal Problem | Page 10

• While some domestic violence lawyers charge a flat fee, others charge by the
hour. Some lawyers provide the same services at a reduced cost. Remember
to ask your attorney his/her billing methods and what you get in return.
• What is your area of specialization?
• No two domestic violence cases are the same. Plus, there is an extensive
body of law that guides cases related to domestic violence. This is because
abuse brings up underlying issues that need to be resolved. These issues
include child custody, divorce and property partition. A lawyer that
specializes in cases involving wrongful death will lack the basic skills
required to adequately protect the injured party. Even if the lawyer has
combined years of experience in the law field, it is not enough. Ideally, hire a
lawyer who specializes in domestic violence cases. And if it is somewhat
difficult to find a domestic violence lawyer, hire an attorney who specializes
in family law.
