Do I need a lawyer for my case?

Do you cut your own hair? Lay your own tile? Perform your own dentistry? No. Of course not. You hire a professional because you know the results will be much better than what you can do if you try to do it yourself. The same is true for legal issues. Lawyers know and understand the laws and statutes that affect your case. Lawyers are professionals, and they will get a better outcome than you can get on your own.

What about that lawyer I saw on TV?

Don’t let hiring a TV lawyer be your first mistake. Typically, lawyers who have big advertising budgets run their law firms like a mill. They churn out cases by the dozen, focusing on closing cases as quickly as possible with little regard for getting the best possible outcome for their clients. Clients seldom actually meet the lawyer in the ads, and many big-name lawyers don’t even work on cases at all. Cases are typically handled by staff lawyers and paralegals, and are often farmed out to other lawyers throughout the city without the client ever knowing.

How about that lawyer with the fancy billboard?
