It is true. The only way to pick a good one is by personal referral, but just because an attorney is excellent at entertainment industry contracts definitely doesn’t mean that you would want him or her representing you in a child custody hearing. For my divorce, I didn’t want the low-key guy who repsented my brother in his divorce a couple of years earlier; I wanted the woman who represented his wife, now ex. My brother’s veins still bulge out on his temples and he grits his teeth with anger every time he thinks of his wife’s attorney. Yes, she’s the one I wanted.
