How do I know if I need an attorney?
The law requires that everyone charged with a crime, whether relatively minor or very severe, is entitled to have an attorney represent them in court. Your attorney will be well practiced in the law and procedure that is involved in preparing and presenting a well developed defense to the criminal charge which you face. It costs nothing to meet with an attorney to determine what the elements of any given crime are and possible defenses to that crime.
Insurance companies employ attorneys and adjusters who are paid to represent the interests of their insureds and to save the company money. You should have someone looking out for your interests in this difficult time.
Many divorces require a fair and equitable resolution of issues created by many years of marriage, the distribution of significant amounts of assets and debt, and even the planning for the future of children. While the law can be fair to both parties in a divorce, it is important to have the assistance of an attorney to protect the rights created by the law. While only one lawyer can be involved in the resolution of marital issues, that lawyer remains the advocate for the party that has retained him.
