Hired an attorney for divorce

My attorney pushed for filing without knowing key facts about my case, including my house ownership, bill payment, and custody concerns.

What I wish I knew
"Research the attorney's expertise and communication style before hiring."
If I could tell you one thing
"Carefully review your attorney's work and be prepared to speak up if you're not being represented effectively."
