Every law school has a free legal clinic that will take cases of need but they don’t take divorce cases unless they are helping someone that is in an abusive relationship or it impacts immigration

Information is free, advice is not.

There are free consultations in most areas, but those are essentially sales pitches with the goal of getting you to retain the lawyer. Legal Aid in some areas handle divorce work but the bar to be accepted is pretty high because their services are so in demand. Your best source of preliminary information is the the local county court website, but the quality and information varies wildly from court to court.

I’ve done two consultations. First guy charged $125 and he seemed apathetic, especially regrading my desire to have shared custody of my kid. The second one I met with was $400 an hour, but the guy talked with me for two hours and was really methodical and broke down alimony and child support plans. Said he would fight tooth and nail to try and get me shared support. I have one more firm to see next week that focuses on divorce law only, and I was set up with a lawyer that focuses on dealing with high conflict ex’s. He charges $250 for an hour. From there I will make my decision. I’ve already ruled the first attorney out. So I decided to lawyer shop before I drop a ton of money to have some professional stranger represent me. I’ve not had any luck on finding free consultations, but I also didn’t put in much effort looking for free ones. I want a firm that I feel comfortable with, because either way they are taking my money.

I mean, you like to work for free, right?
