4 Common Reasons To Hire A Lawyer

An experienced, qualified lawyer is a valuable asset.

By hiring a lawyer, you’ll have help navigating life’s most complicated legal matters – such as divorce, legal guardianship, business formation, criminal charges, and more.

Indeed, having a professional to advise you on your business, family, and criminal matters can save you a lot of money, stress, and time.

Here are the four most common reasons you may need an experienced lawyer on your side.

1. Personal Injury Cases

The most common reason people hire lawyers is to get professional help with personal injury cases.

An experienced personal injury lawyer like Kevin Kaufman can help you receive compensation or damages for an accident, wrongful death, or workplace injury that was caused by the negligence of someone else.

Car accidents are some of the best examples of personal injury. A personal injury lawyer can help the victims get compensation from the at-fault party for medical bills, vehicle repair or replacement, and compensation for the inability to earn their wages or function in everyday life.

2. Business-Related Matters

Business-related matters – like business formation, drawing up contracts, and handling disputes – are other common reasons people hire lawyers.

An experienced lawyer is the most qualified person to help you navigate the structural and legal necessities of your business. A lawyer can help you with the complexities of the formation process to ensure your business is registered as a legal entity, and they can also help you with taxation, ownership, and growth issues.

Business lawyers are also highly experienced with employment contracts – including handling contract disputes. A business lawyer will also represent you in court if your business faces litigation.

3. Family-Related Matters

Another common reason people hire lawyers is to help with family issues, especially regarding divorce.

Because divorce can be an exhausting and lengthy process, having a lawyer on your side to help with establishing aspects like child custody, visitation rights, collecting child support, and the division of property can help you ensure that your divorce is as clean as possible.

Another family-related reason to hire a lawyer is to determine guardianship of a child – whether through foster care or adoption. By hiring a lawyer to represent you in court, you can get legal rights to make decisions concerning the child’s welfare.

4. Criminal Matters

Issues concerning criminal law are another reason to have an experienced lawyer on your side.

If you are charged with a crime, you will need to get legally represented in court by a lawyer. If you can’t afford to hire a lawyer, a public defender will be appointed to represent you for free.

While public defenders have extensive experience in criminal matters and have likely worked with the judges before, a private criminal lawyer may be a better option for you – if you can afford one.

A private criminal lawyer will be able to devote more time to your case and give you more individual attention because they generally have lower case volumes than a public defender.
