I am seeking a good attorney to help me with my defense against my ex's desire for more money....

Any suggestions...................

P.S. I refuse to pay more than $200.00 per hour for an attorney.
 
Nano,

Is there any way you can work things with your ex so you don't use a lawyer. Generally, from my own personal experiences, Lawyers are bad news and they will try to milk you for whatever they can take and prolong the process. I am no expert when it comes to divorce, but i do recommend that you try your best to work things out with your spouse on how to split the money without giving a big chuck of it to the lawyer. It can potentially get really ugly.

I am really sorry to hear your situation. Panda will be praying for you.

I'm not a huge fan of lawyer fees (no offense to the lawyers out there), but I will say that you get what you pay for.

You might not like the bill now, but I think a good attorney will pay off in the long run.

Good luck, Nano. I'm sure this can be a rough road.
 
Yup, what CalGal said.

I think at $200/hr, you will have a difficult time finding a good one.

If you are interested, I know a good one who specializes in techy people with stock option stuff and small bus people. she fancies herself a forensic accountant, i think, as much as a divorce lawyer. no nonsense, no drama, prefers to settle fair and fast.

PM me if you need her info. (iirc, her rate is $3-400, but she seems to not bill every second as some might)
 
I would tell you to PM someone here, but he started sending me bills per PM, and the longer the PM the bigger the bill. J/K. Anyway there are two people here that might know some people that could help you. Let me know and I will PM you who they are, if you haven't figured out who they are already.
 
I know where he’s coming from.

Personally, I don’t have a problem with a good attorney having a high hourly rate or charging a flat fee.

All of the ones I deal with not only charge a high hourly rate but require a hefty retainer upfront.

Sometimes I feel as though I’m not getting my money’s worth.
 
Nano, I feel for ya my friend and this is just one more reason I love being SINGLE :)

Hope you friend a very good lawyer who will rep you well and not grind you.
 
Thanks for the imput, I will PM a few of you in a day or two........................when we got our original dissolution, I started with an attorney that was charging 350 per hour and then raised rates to 450 per hour........and she was pathetic. On two occasions documents were not file correctly and I lost ground. I ended up with a guy from CL that charged about 200 per hour. He did a good job.

I've paid attorney's $650 per hour and thought it was worth every penny. What I find is that most of the divorce attorney's hate their jobs/lives and only work for money and get no satisfaction from what they do.

Trooper, no she will not get a shot at tugtub, she already has a fair amount of my last venture pacificnanotech.com
