Changing Attorneys
Sometimes divorce clients want or need to change lawyers in the middle of their case. Most people facing a divorce go to the first attorney they find – often the attorney who did their real estate closing or helped with a traffic ticket. Many "general practitioners" are ill-equipped to handle the intricacies of a difficult or complicated divorce. Other people hire a divorce specialist, but soon conclude the chemistry isn’t right or that the lawyer cannot or will not properly prioritize the client’s objections.
If the lawyer you first hire isn't getting the job done the way you want – no matter how far along your case is – bite the bullet and call us. You'll be glad you did.
YOU WON’T LOSE MONEY
When our law firm is hired in the middle of a case, we give the client a courtesy credit to cover: 1) removing your old attorney from your case, 2) reviewing your bills to make sure your old attorney didn’t overcharge you, 3) taking over the case and substituting in as your attorney. You won’t have to pay us to “get up to speed.”
It’s simple: Either call us to schedule an appointment, or download our Switch Kit below. We take care of firing your existing lawyer (you won’t have to make that uncomfortable call). We also get a final bill from your old lawyer and go through it to make sure you have not been over-charged. You can have a new lawyer at Crider Law working on your case immediately... and it won’t cost you a penny to make the change.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
When you hire our law firm in the middle of your case, we will send you some forms to sign. You can get the process started by requesting to download the forms below. We will notify your current attorney and demand your file and a detailed ledger of your account. We’ll then prepare and file our Substitution of Counsel in your case and make our introductions to your spouse’s attorney and the judge. We can do all of that very quickly after you hire us – at no charge to you.
We’ll take care of the change-of-attorneys procedures at court — at no charge to you.
We’ll go through the file with you at your convenience and make sure you understand exactly where things are and the strengths and weaknesses of your case —at no charge to you.
All of that is at no cost to you.
Once we are hired as your new attorneys, and have received your file and substituted in as your attorney, we will prepare for you a strategy and begin to put it into action. We will keep you up to date, well informed, and well advised. You will get excellent representation at a reasonable fee.
