When to Hire a Lawyer
Should you hire a lawyer or handle things on your own? Get some guidance for making this crucial decision. Find out when you clearly need legal help, and when you might be able to get by without the additional expense. The question of when to hire a lawyer does not always have a simple answer. There are certain circumstances in which the answer is an unqualified “yes,” but often it is a matter of evaluating several factors.
There are some situations where hiring a lawyer is essential:
You Are In Over Your Head
This is more of an emotional decision, based on having the feeling that you aren’t comfortable representing yourself. The comfort level varies from person-to-person, depending upon factors such as how much you know about the area of law, how much information is readily available, how much effort you are willing to put in to educating yourself, how well you understand legal terms and concepts (such as contracts, court documents, laws, court rules, and court opinions), and how confident you are in your ability to express yourself in English, both verbally and in writing (especially if you need to appear in court). If you decide “I can’t afford to lose this case,” it’s time to find a lawyer.
You Could Go To Jail
If you are charged with a crime, including domestic violence, tax fraud, or even some motor vehicle offenses (such as driving under the influence, vehicular homicide, or so many unpaid parking tickets that an arrest warrant has been issued), hire an attorney.
You Could Lose A Lot of Money
- If you stand to lose a great deal of money in a lawsuit, find a lawyer.
- Your Opponent Has an Attorney
- You will be at a disadvantage if you try to go up against an attorney representing your adversary.
- Bodily Injury Is Involved
The most common situation is an automobile accident, but this could also involve a variety of situations, such as someone being bitten by your dog or getting injured on your property, or injuries due to a defective product. You may have automobile or homeowners insurance, but it is still advisable to consult a lawyer. If you or a family member have been injured, and it appears you have a good claim, most personal injury lawyers will not charge you any fee, but will take payment from the judgment they obtain.
You Are In A Complicated Divorce
If there are disagreements over assets or children, if there are allegations of domestic violence, or if you have a sufficiently complex financial situation so that the division of retirement benefits or serious tax considerations come into play, you will need legal assistance. In some states, even if you are in agreement, or close to agreement, you can both hire one lawyer to assist you in getting through the legal process.
Other Options
Aside from hiring a lawyer or going it alone, you may have other options such as contacting a state agency (such as a consumer protection agency or a commission for public utilities, insurance, or banking). There might also be legal assistance available through various groups you belong to, or a community senior citizens organization.
