From the Archives: How to Choose the Right Divorce Attorney with Kelsey Minor, Esq.

Send us Fan Mail  The first question people ask me, almost without fail, is “How do I pick an attorney?” And I get it. Divorce already feels like your life got flipped, and the legal side can feel like a maze where one wrong turn gets expensive fast. That’s why I brought on Kelsey Minor, Esq. Managing Partner at DAWN in Bingham Farms, Michigan, a firm that has focused on women’s needs for decades. We get specific about what to look for when you’re interviewing a divorce lawyer, what questions to ask, and what “fit” really means when the stakes include your home, your retirement, and your long-term financial stability. We talk about why family law specialization matters, and why local experience still counts even after the shift to virtual hearings. Kelsey explains how different judges and referees can have different courtroom protocols, scheduling rules, and filing requirements, and how hiring someone who already knows the landscape can save time and legal fees. We also dig into the less talked about part of hiring counsel: emotional support, responsiveness, and whether your attorney helps you understand the timeline and next steps so you’re not left guessing.
