Why might I need an attorney

Many situations arise in which attorneys can provide help and advice. Perhaps you have a legal problem and don’t know how to resolve it. Attorneys have been trained in the law and the legal system, and the right lawyer can counsel and assist you with your specific problem. For example, if you are facing a lawsuit, a lawyer can review the strengths and weaknesses of your case with you and help you understand your legal rights. An attorney knows the necessary rules and procedures needed to argue your case in court successfully. A lawyer can make a substantial difference in presenting and advocating for your side of the story in front of a judge or jury.    In some situations, failing to call an attorney immediately can worsen the situation. For instance, perhaps you’ve been arrested or involved in a damaging car accident. In this circumstance, a legal professional should intervene to ensure that all available witnesses give their accounting of the incident and that all the evidence is gathered. In other circumstances, getting preventive legal advice can save you trouble, money, and time by averting legal problems before they arise. Take, for example, what is involved in the purchase of a new family home. If you sign the purchase agreement without completely understanding it, you could have problems down the road. Or, maybe you are starting a small business with a partner. An experienced attorney could point out the drawbacks and advantages of various partnership arrangements.   It is a smart idea to get to know your potential attorney by having a consultation or case review and asking questions. In many cases, attorneys offer free initial consultations to allow prospective clients the opportunity to become familiar with them. That way, a client can make the most appropriate and informed choice of attorney for his or her needs.
