Although there is no one 'skill' that is universally the best for lawyering, here are some general attributes that the best lawyers will have.
- Writing and communicating effectively. This means being clear, concise, and persuasive. If you write contracts, you have to cover everything. If you write motions, you have to engage the judge. Basically, lawyers are professional writers. Perfect grammar and style is a must. The best lawyers will be eloquent (not verbose) writers.
- Thinking analytically. Lawyers are problem solvers and problem avoiders. They have to know how to think creatively and effectively about what their client's issue is and what they can do to help them meet their goals. While some think that "laws" are black and white, the truth is that they are not. Laws are complicated, and every client's situation is different. Knowing how to spot an issue, analyze it, and predict how it should come out or explain why it should come out a certain way is an essential skill for any effective lawyer.
- The above two are the most important skills for lawyering. However, it also helps for lawyers to be engaging with their clients, good with their time management, effective at researching legal issues, and diligent in watching after their reputation. Lawyering is ultimately a "thinking" profession, so, the best skill is just being a "good thinker."

Are custody lawyers more expensive than divorce lawyers?
"Divorce lawyers just do a simple task of getting a divorce done. One divorce lawyer would do the same task as the next so that means they do not have to be as skilled. For example of a married couple wanted a divorce they would not need to find someone with a lot of skill because its just a divorce. on the other hand a custody lawyers will need more skill because they will be fighting for custody. So for example the mom would want the child so she needs a good lawyer and the dad would need a better lawyer to keep the child. You would want a lawyer with more skill to make sure you win the custody case, for divorce, no one is winning."
