DO I NEED A LAWYER? Yes,
lawyers are officers of the court and, as such, are the only
professional occupation of individuals that are licensed by the state to
represent your needs in court, although, some items can be handled by
non-lawyers, such as filings and documentation.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, “growth in demand
will be somewhat mitigated because in an effort to reduce money spent on
legal fees, many businesses increasingly are using large accounting
firms and paralegals to perform some of the same functions that lawyers
do.” (See reference http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos053.htm.)
This means that services conventionally being provided by law firms
could potentially be siphoned and performed by other professions.
However, when it comes time to resolve a personal injury issue, a
workplace problem, bankruptcy, criminal maters or domestic troubles, the
only real solution is a lawyer. Start
