Saw my ex's attorney bill today. She spent twice as much as me and got less than half of what she went after.

If there are kids involved, get a Father's Rights attorney.
Some names recommended on here are in that specialty.

This is so fricking true. More than 6 times I have sat in my car, at my desk, in a courtroom and thought this exact same thing.

I'm not gonna read all the posts here but I see the third one down says "Downs or saffiotti are good."
Well that is correct answer.
Tons of posts about this on OT.
Here is deal: if yall have to get attorneys (bad), then yall are either gonna get two softies, because you are both sane and understand that you need to work thru it without spending all ur money, or there's gonna be hard feelings and u r both gonna war up a bit.
If there's a remote chance of war, then you got to have Vincent or Karen. You don't have to use them, but you will have to retain them so your wife doesn't use them. Trust me on this. You don't want to be the guy that looks back and says, "well, it was foretold."
Quite honestly depending on your case and facts and circumstance, they will help you on bill. Great people.
That's my two cents. I used Vincent but my wife's mom and several close friends used Karen. Everyone is quite happy.
Eta: I'm an atty but do not deal in family law. But I do know good attorneys when I see them, and they are both very good at family law.
Eta2: note this comment from piratedude above and heed it if possible: "if you talk to her and tell her you'd rather be generous with her than a lawyer, and neither one of you are completely stupid, you can save money and accomplish a lot. "
That's all I got.

How often does that work? (I've been there, and "she" told me she was game for that). Yeh! Right! She still has shite that belonged to me before we got married and she says she can't find them. Right, because she sold them!
Get a good cut-throat attorney. Don't compromise on anything! I don't care who was/is in the wrong.

not sure if its the same in LA but you probably want to have a consultation with all of the best lawyers around prior to hiring one....at least that will keep the other party in the divorce from being able to hire them against you.

Well stated, and if that can happen, that's really the best way to go.
However, there are exceptions in which a pre-emptive strike is not such a bad idea. Sometimes, it actually brings parties to the bargaining situation you described.
All of that said, don't drop your guard. At the first hint that she is about to make a move against you, do a calculated, surgical,pre-emptive strike to head her off at the pass. Defend your interests if you want to keep them.
It can wind up being a chess and poker game wrapped up into one.
