Home Contact Plan

Prepare a lawyer contact plan

Create a short, neutral inquiry and choose safe response preferences before you contact anyone yourself.

Divorce Law Aid does not send this message, notify a practice, or share your saved plan.

You stay in control. Copy only the information you choose. Confirm that the lawyer, website and contact method are correct before sending anything. Avoid including child names, account numbers, protected addresses or detailed allegations in an initial message.

Before sending an inquiry

Confirm current New York registration and whether the practice handles the issue.
Ask who would perform the work, how communication works, and what the consultation includes.
Ask about fees, retainers, costs, unused funds and what is outside the proposed scope.
Do not assume an inquiry creates an attorney-client relationship or protects a deadline.
