Does anyone know a cheap divorce attorney/mediator? I would greatly appreciate any information. Thank you!

A few quick thoughts....

I would be mildly skeptical about anyone who bills themselves as ‘low cost’ legal services. I’m not saying you shouldn’t use one, just act with caution. As the saying goes, nothing costs more than a cheap lawyer...

I would start by checking out the Lawyer Referral Service through the state bar. They will facilitate a cheap consultation with a very competent attorney. The attorney can then work out pricing from there. If the matter is straightforward then they’ll likely price the matter as such.

I funds are really tight or the matter is truly uncontested I would consider checking out the the pro bono services through Legal Aid. If the matter is uncontested, they can help you through paperwork and what not. Depending on the situation they may be able to hook you up with pro bono counsel.

Best of luck!

Also every Thursday there is a free ask a lawyer thing at the family court. You get 15 mins with a lawyer to discuss your case.

What are you trying to do? Are you trying to get a contested divorce with kids and assets? If so then you need an attorney but if you have nothing to split up and/or are in agreement on everything you can file it all yourself.

Law offices of Peter F James is a client of mine. I was working on their equipment while listening to them chat about a bunch of their wins in court that week. He must be pretty good.
