Very good question. There are lots of military cases where rights and advantages have been lost because the attorney lacked knowledge of the subject matter. As a practical matter, there are very few attorneys in any given state (and even fewer overseas) who know much about this little-known corner of the law — USFSPA and the division of military retirement benefits. And since you only get one chance to do it right, it makes sense to find the right lawyer right off the bat!
