I don't need an attorney

I want a solution to my problem. I want a cost effective answer. Why should I bring a lawyer into it if I don’t need one? I can just Google the problem, find a document that will fix my problem, and handle it myself. No conflict, no bills, no problem.  I can do everything myself. I do most of the repairs on my house myself. I am a professional. I do my job and I do it well. I have built a life for myself all by myself. All I need is a legal document that I can find on the Internet for a hundred bucks. Right?

Maybe.

I can't tell you how many times I've had clients come into my office and say I thought I could do this myself only to find themselves deep into a situation that they can't get out of.  Whether its a personal injury case, divorce, collection matter or criminal case some people just think they can do it themselves.

Wouldn't you agree that if you are writing a will and you have no assets, maybe it would be better to pay a few hundred dollars now and hire a lawyer, then when you have children you don't have to do your will all over again. Or pay a little now to ensure that employee really won’t compete with you and steal your clients after he or she leaves.  There are literally hundreds of thousands of examples where hiring an attorney with a solution could have avoided complicated legal problems which were unexpected. I hear about them every day.

So go find a good solution. Maybe a lawyer can guide you to that solution.  Find an attorney who provides value through legal services which protect you, your business, your assets, and your loved ones. While it is true you could try and save a dollar here or there but in the long run you will avoid headaches and potentially save you a lot of money.  Just ask one of my clients who was hiring employees as independent contractors,  The state finally caught up with him and he owes over $90,000 for employment related taxes.  Had he spoke with an attorney he would have been advised about this practice and saved a lot of money.
