What Can A Lawyer Do?
A lawyer can do as much or as little work as you and the lawyer agree. You can ask them to help you with your case from start to finish, or you can ask them to deal with certain parts of your case. A lawyer can give you legal advice. This may include: • reading and explaining documents • helping you fill in forms • helping you fill in an application for a grant of legal aid • giving you an opinion about what you should do, the strength of your case, the likely outcome. A lawyer can represent you (do work for you and speak on your behalf). This may include: • writing letters or emails on your behalf • negotiating with the other party on your behalf • representing you in court. Before you see a lawyer, think about what work you want to be done. A lawyer should be able to tell you quickly whether they can help you with your case and if they can represent you. However, they may need some time to work on your particular legal issue or dispute. It also depends on how
honest you are with your lawyer. Some common situations where assistance from a lawyer may be necessary include: • an accident involving personal injury or property damage • a family problem such as divorce or a child custody dispute • the sale or purchase of a home, real estate, or a business • discrimination or harassment on the job • the formation or incorporation of a business • the drafting of a will, trust, or estate plan • a tax problem • an arrest or questioning by law enforcement officials.
Should I Get Legal Advice?
It is always a good idea to get some legal advice about your legal issue. Even though not every legal matter calls for the use of a lawyer, knowing which professional lawyer to contact in Sydney is necessary. If you’re fighting a parking offence, for example, a lawyer could cost more than the fine so you might be better off representing yourself. That is why JCL Legal is here to help with any legal issues you have. There are some benefits of getting legal advice. A lawyer: • can help you understand your legal rights and responsibilities • knows how the law applies to your case • may be aware of defence or law that you are not aware of • can tell you how strong your case is • can advise you about any relevant time limits or if you are able to get an extension on any deadlines that may apply. A lawyer will assess your legal issue and can tell you at the outset whether it is worth your while to obtain legal assistance and/or pursue legal action. If you are unlikely to prevail, or if the benefits of obtaining legal assistance do not clearly outweigh the costs, you will not need to incur unnecessary time and expense. If legal action or assistance is necessary, your lawyer will evaluate all aspects of your situation with you. They will explain your options and what to expect at every step, and will take any action necessary to ensure that your legal rights are fully assessed and protected—all with an eye toward ensuring the best possible outcome for your legal issue.
So Should I Hire A Lawyer?
Many people are hesitant to hire a lawyer because they are fearful of what it might cost. While it is true that legal services do not usually come cheap, having a skilled professional on your side almost always means a better outcome, when compared with the results you can expect when you represent yourself. Whenever you are involved in a legal matter of any significance, you should evaluate both the anticipated cost of hiring a lawyer and the potential benefit of that representation. If you are still not sure whether or not to get a lawyer to represent you, you should consider: • How much do I know about the area of law that relates to my case? • Am I comfortable representing myself? • What are the risks if I do not get a lawyer? • How much will a lawyer cost? • Is there a lawyer close to where I live? • Is a lawyer allowed to represent me?
