You may be surprised to find out that they didn't charge too much at all. Most attorneys and lawyers have gone down in price since the economy has failed.

   Talk to friends and co-workers. You may be informed that they went through a divorce, or complication in which they needed a cheap lawyer. They may be able to point in you in the direction of a affordable lawyer that will suit your legal and financial needs.

   Try to find a volunteer lawyer. Many area have volunteer lawyers or Legal Aid associations.

However, this might save you a bundle of money.

   Ask local lawyers for a payment plan. Almost all lawyers will accept or at least work with you in a payment option plan. Explain your financial and legal situation and they might just help you out. Most law firms are money hungry and will accept any form of money.
