When do I need a lawyer?

Determining whether you need an attorney largely depends on what’s at stake. When significant financial considerations, or even your freedom, hang in the balance, it’s wise to rely on a professional’s expertise to advocate for your interests and protect your rights.

Financial considerations can be associated with a broad spectrum of circumstances, from contesting a job termination or negotiating a contract to a workers’ compensation claim or personal-injury matter.

Money and freedom both may be at stake in the case of a DUI charge.

Attorneys also protect your financial interests by offering their understanding of rules and regulations to guide business strategy, eliminating potential missteps that might cost time and money.

An attorney’s expertise almost always is required for complex matters such as tax and estate planning or drafting of wills and trusts,
