Many people are afraid to hire an attorney. They think they will pay high fees. They believe they can perform the services themselves. Actually, with many types of lawsuits, there are no fees or expenses for you, the client. The attorney takes care of the fees and expenses for a percentage of the outcome if the client prevails.
There are fees for cases such as matrimonials, closings, and estates, but generally, the costs to hire an attorney are much less than the losses people may incur without one. Here are some reasons to hire an attorney:
