Stacy K asked:
My current attorney is utterly incompetent and causing me more pain and money then helping me in my divorce. I need a really good and aggressive attorney. Most charge for consultation and I don’t have thousands to blow on just interviewing attorneys. Who are some of the best ones in the Los Angeles area? Or, what is the best way to find one?

I am so sorry. I, myself, had a bad divorce a few years ago and went through a few attorneys. The old saying holds true, If you think an expert is expensive, try hiring an amateur.
After months of frustrations, I asked court reporters and clerks at the courthouse on who they observed in the courtroom was good. In addition, I did research on who celebrities used. They’d only hiring the best right?
I would suggest hiring a certified family law attorney because I think they’re more knowledgeable since they only practice in that area.
Here are some of the top firms, I feel, after my research a few years ago:
Adelman Seide, LLP
Well-known certified specialists who have represented celebrities. I was told they are very sharp and aggressive.
Leeds Wender Rosenfeld, LLP
Well known firm with celebrity clients. Not sure if they’re certified though. Can’t find website.
Nachsin Weston, LLP
Publicized celebrity attorney who represented baseball player Barry Bonds. Didn’t check and see if they’re certified.
Trope and Trope
Another well-known firm who started the non-profit Harriett Buhai center and represented Britney Spears. I heard they are also sharp and certified.
I don’t want to seem biased a recommend my attorney. I hope this helped and great luck on a resolution. I know what you’re going through.
