by Steven C.

Santa Barbara County has over 2,000 Santa Barbara attorneys or Santa Barbara lawyers registered with the State Bar of California. Some popular cities within Santa Barbara County where Santa Barbara County attorneys may be practicing law are Buellton, Carpinteria, Casmalia, Goleta, Guadalupe, Isla Vista, Lompoc, Los Alamos, Los Olivos, Montecito, New Cuyama, Orcutt, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Santa Ynez, Solvang, and others. With so many attorneys practicing law in Santa Barbara County California, how do you find the right Santa Barbara County divorce attorney or Santa Barbara County divorce lawyer who can help you with your particular divorce case and/or child custody case?

First, an experienced Santa Barbara divorce attorney or Santa Barbara divorce lawyer should have experience and legal expertise in the field of family law. Family law covers a variety of topics such as divorce or dissolution of marriage, paternity, domestic partnerships, child custody and visitation, domestic violence, restraining orders, spousal support, child support, guardianship, adoptions, community property, division of property, and more.

Some Santa Barbara divorce attorneys may specialize or have more experience than others in specific areas of family law. For example, some Santa Barbara attorneys are certified by the State Bar of California or an organization accredited by the State Bar of California as a specialist in the field of family law. Currently, Santa Barbara County has approximately a dozen Certified Family Law Specialists (CFLS) registered with the State Bar of California. These Santa Barbara County attorney's have made efforts to become State Bar certified in the field of family law. In other words, of more than 2,000 Santa Barbara County attorneys in California, approximately a dozen are Certified Family Law Specialists (CFLS).

However, just because a Santa Barbara County attorney is not a Certified Family Law Specialist does not mean he/she is not qualified and/or experienced to handle a Santa Barbara County family law, divorce and/or child custody case. In fact, there are many well-qualified Santa Barbara County attorneys or Santa Barbara County lawyers who do not hold State Bar certifications. If you are searching for a Santa Barbara County divorce attorney or Santa Barbara County divorce lawyer and you do not know what to look for or where to begin, narrowing down your search to only those who practice family law in Santa Barbara County may be a good place to begin.

Further, an experienced Santa Barbara divorce attorney or Santa Barbara divorce lawyer should have success representing clients on child custody and divorce cases in Santa Barbara County. He/she will likely be familiar with the judges, processes, and procedures in the Santa Barbara County family court which an attorney outside of Santa Barbara County may not have. However, just because an attorney or lawyer is not located in Santa Barbara County California does not mean he/she is not qualified and/or experienced to represent you on a family law, divorce, or child custody case in Santa Barbara County. Ultimately, if you have a child custody and/or divorce case in Santa Barbara County, you will want to investigate any prospective attorney's background and experience and choose the right divorce attorney or divorce lawyer you believe can help you with your Santa Barbara divorce case and legal need.
