Do I Need a Lawyer?

The legal system can be intimidating for non-lawyers. Although individuals are permitted to bring a case or defend one without a lawyer, it is often not a good idea to do so. Lawyers are trained to understand the arguments that can be made on behalf of a client and to know the Rules of Civil Procedure and Rules of Evidence that govern. Furthermore, if a client wishes to settle a case without filing a lawsuit or going to court, lawyers are equipped to negotiate and try to obtain a fair settlement for the client.

Furthermore, many cases are very expensive to pursue effectively. For example, a medical malpractice case or products liability case might require an investment up to $75,000 or more in experts and other litigation expenses which is more than many people are able or willing to invest. Therefore, many people need a law firm with the resources to advance such costs on their behalf.
