If none of this works out, you can try finding a lawyer through the Yellow Pages or the internet, but only as a last resort. Typing <tt>vancouver family lawyer</tt> or <tt>best divorce lawyer</tt> into a search engine is a terrible way to find a lawyer: while you will get a ton of results, you won't know anything about those lawyers except for the things they say about themselves on their websites. The same thing applies to picking a lawyer through a Yellow Pages ad.
Remember that not all lawyers practice family law, of course, and this is something you may want to take into consideration. Some lawyers focus exclusively on family law, so that family law is the whole of their practice; others practice practise family law along with other areas of the law. If a lawyer advertises in the Yellow Pages or online, the lawyer's ad or website will usually say exactly what area or areas of law he or she practices. You may wish to pay special attention to lawyers who tend to spend all or most of their time on family law matters.
