The Divorce and Beyond® Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq.

Is Your Lawyer Helping Or Hurting Your Divorce? How To Hire, Fire, And Trust Your Attorney with Susan Guthrie on Divorce & Beyond #396


Listen Later

Are you secretly wondering if you hired the wrong divorce lawyer, but feel too far in, too scared, or too overwhelmed to do anything about it?

You are not the only one. Listeners write in every week saying things like, “I hired someone in a panic and now I feel stuck,” or “I feel dismissed, but I am afraid to change attorneys midstream.”

In this solo episode, Susan uses more than thirty five years of experience as a leading divorce attorney and mediator to give you a clear framework for how to choose, evaluate, and, if necessary, replace your lawyer so you can move through your divorce with more confidence and less chaos.

You will learn:

  • Why so many people “panic hire” the wrong attorney in the early days of divorce

  • How a good divorce coach can help you get grounded before you hire anyone

  • The key questions to ask in an attorney consultation so you can spot a real fit

  • Red flags that your current lawyer may not be serving your goals or values

  • When the problem is the system, not your attorney

  • How to have a reset conversation and, if needed, make a clean, professional change

    Susan has also created a free downloadable checklist with the questions and red flags she covers in the episode. DOWNLOAD HERE

    If you are confused about your attorney client relationship or worried you made the wrong choice, this episode will help you understand your options and take back your power in your own case.
