Verify They are Licensed to Practice Law in Florida

They Should Specialize in Family Law
You don’t necessarily want your car mechanic to work on your home’s HVAC or a plumber to replace an electrical panel. You likewise shouldn’t choose an accident/injury lawyer for your prenuptial agreement. Even if you’ve used a lawyer in the past, they may not be the right choice to help craft your prenup.

Some view prenuptial agreements as some form of premarital wishlist. Prenups are a serious legal document that takes experience and expertise to create.
