- Ask how many divorce and family law matters the lawyer handles each year, and who at the firm will do the work.
- Get the fee arrangement in writing: hourly, flat or contingency, and which costs are charged on top.
- Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.
- Read recent reviews for how the firm communicated and billed, not only for outcomes.
- Ask how the firm bills phone calls and emails, and how often you will get an itemised bill.

Each divorce and family lawyer gets a 0–100 LFR Score from nine published factors, led by reputation (25%), practice focus (15%), review volume (10%) and recency (10%).

Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce?
Not always, but a lawyer can review the agreement on property, support and parenting before you sign it, which is hard to undo later. Many firms offer limited-scope help for this. This is general information, not legal advice.
How is this list of divorce and family lawyers in Hanover, MA ranked?
By LFR Score only, from public data on reviews, practice focus, office location and hours. Firms labelled “Attorney advertising” paid for that placement; payment never changes a rank, and a rank is not an endorsement.
Does a lawyer need an office in Hanover?
No, but the lawyer must be licensed in your state (or, for federal matters such as immigration, in some state). A local office makes meetings and court appearances easier, so proximity is one of our factors.
