Goodluck with that... if you get a very impartial judge who has started seeing things more 50/50, that shark lawyer is gonna make you look like an asshole when appearing in court. Shark lawyers are becoming more a thing of the past, which is fantastic. Should be more about substantiated facts and not throwing shit on the courtroom wall to see what sticks. Didn't work out well for my ex wife, I can tell you that much.

My STBX has retained a “shark”. I didn’t want things to go this way. I need someone who is not easily intimidated, and also very good at what they do.

A lawyer who is knowledgeable/experienced in the field and not intimidated doesn't necessarily mean they are shark, nor does it mean you need one. Facts, evidence, and ways to support your claims and the others behaviors can go a long way with a judge and make the other so called "Shark" lawyer look like an idiot. Mine had the calm and intelligent shark approach, only attacking when provoked and necessary for the point to be made, but no slandering or throwing nasty accusations into the mix. Plus, the only thing worse than having two nasty spouses going after each other is having two nasty and toxic lawyers doing the same, but at your expense.
