Why Do I Need An Attorney

Why Do I Need An Attorney?

Sometimes it’s obvious. Maybe you were involved in a car accident and the insurance company is denying coverage. Maybe your dog bit a neighbor’s child. Perhaps you, heaven forbid, were arrested driving under the influence! There’s an old saying that if you represent yourself, you have a “fool for a client”. But how do you know?
You should first consider “what’s at stake?” Are your finances or liberties in serious jeopardy? Many situations, both good and bad, mandate that you obtain a lawyer’s advice to protect legal rights and financial interests. Good legal advice helps you comply with and steer through the complex mazes of governmental rules and regulations.
Ultimately, you will rest easier after consulting with an experienced lawyer for important undertakings such as tax and estate planning, drafting wills and trusts, negotiating business deals and even pursuing personal family matters such as adopting children.
