Frequently asked Questions (FAQ) :
-
Top ten reasons to hire a lawyer
The law is complicated. If you are not a lawyer you probably have no business acting like one in certain instances. Even experienced lawyers typically do not represent themselves in court. A solid case can quickly unravel without the help of a trained and emotionally detached attorney.
-
Why you should hire a lawyer with specialised skills ?
When you find yourself facing the legal system for any particular reason, the best solution would be to consult with an attorney before serious legal issues arise. Hiring a board-qualified attorney means that you will be receiving advice from an expert who is skilled in his or her respective area of law. A lawyer will provide you with all the possible options that are available to your case, as well as evaluate all the advantages and disadvantages of each option.
-
When and why you should hire a business lawyer ?
It has been established that there are generally two professionals that a business will need at inception: an accountant and a lawyer. While the reasons to hire an accountant are pretty obvious (preparing charts of accounts, reviewing financial and tax returns), the reasons for hiring a business lawyer, however, may not be so apparent. Whether you are going into business alone or with a partner, your business needs abide by the laws at all times, and it needs to be protected for the future.
