A good way to determine whether you have a legal problem or need legal assistance is to ask a lawyer. Most lawyers will initially discuss and determine whether you have a legal problem without charging a fee.
Once you decide to call a lawyer, the next decision is which one.
In order to determine this, the following is a list of suggestions that might help you decide who to call.
- Ask friends, teachers, employer, co-workers, minister, relatives, neighbors or anyone you trust which lawyer(s) they have used and if they did a good job.
- Many online resources are available for selecting a lawyer in your geographic area and in the area of expertise you need.
