- Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.

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 Tallmadge, OH 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.

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.
