Your lawyer is required by law to provide you with competent, prompt, and diligent service and defend your legal position.

Why do I need a lawyer?

Having a lawyer can help you save time, money, and trouble. Most of all a lawyer is there to help you understand your rights and legal position. Consulting with a lawyer can help you understand contracts, wills and trusts, documents you are required to sign, and of course, difficulties with the law. Ideally, it would be best to establish a relationship with an attorney before you need one. Generally, you should consider contacting an attorney if you are not sure as to your rights or your legal position on a matter.
