My 2 cents. I've never been divorced.

The situation here is that the husband beat the wife unconscious. She now has a restraining order against him and is living in their house. But she was so ashamed by what happened she didn't call me for eight weeks and has gone to a few court hearings by herself.
If figure there is the standard divorce issues but there is also the issue of assault and battery and compensation for that. She has no money but the husband does. But since the case is already in motion I need to get someone pretty quickly.
It is in Santa Clara County, but since I don't practice law anymore I don't know a thing about lawyers in Santa Clara county let alone who is the best.
