- 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?

How is this list of divorce and family lawyers in Upper Arlington, 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.
