Frequently Asked Questions
A lot of people have a lot of questions about lawyers and the law. That is why it is important to know what you are getting into when hiring a lawyer. Here is a look at some Frequently Asked Questions that can help.
Do I need a lawyer? Do not wait until your right/claim is denied to seek legal counsel. If you have any reason to believe that your claim is not being paid or that your rights have been violated, you should immediately contact legal counsel to protect and advise you. Like a doctor, a lawyer’s ability to help you is directly tied to how early they are involved. You would not wait to see a doctor until a health issue becomes life-threatening, and similarly, you should not wait until your claim is denied to seek counsel.
Why should I hire a lawyer? Hiring a lawyer has several benefits. First, it will notify the people you are dealing with that you mean business. Second, your lawyer is the only person who can listen to your story – all of it – without the risk of being compelled to testify against you. Making a full and honest disclosure of the facts to your lawyer allows the lawyer to understand the precise risks you are facing and how to avoid them. Third, a lawyer will fully advise you of your rights and potentially protect you from the pitfalls that come with any legal claim.
How do I choose the right Lawyer? The most important quality in a lawyer is good judgment. Judgment is a critical tool for evaluating risk, thinking strategically, and dispensing advice. There should be a sound reason behind every act the lawyer takes. Avoid lawyers who seem to act impulsively, promise you a specific outcome, or otherwise display poor judgment or unreliability. Ultimately, your lawyer will help you make some of the most difficult and important decisions in your life. Ensure you are confident that your lawyer will steer you in the right direction. A lawyer’s most important skill is the ability to listen. Only by listening can lawyers learn their clients’ stories, uncover critical evidence, and effectively cross-examine a witness at trial. Your lawyer should be interested in your story – not just your money – and their advice should take into account both the facts and circumstances of your case and also the broader context of your life in which it unfolds. This is called “client-centered advocacy,” defending clients instead of just cases, and is a hallmark of an effective lawyer. Beyond these two criteria, you should select a lawyer that you feel comfortable working with and who has substantial experience & knowledge in your area of need.
