This is really the first question you should ask yourself. If you are not sure, you probably do. You should make this the first question you ask any prospective attorney. Do I need a lawyer?
When contacting a prospective attorney for the first time the attorney should advise you that you do or do not need legal counsel. Recognize if an attorney cannot or will not explain things to you that may say something to you about the lawyer. Remember that the advice you get will be based on what you tell the lawyer. Be sure and tell the truth, otherwise the advice you receive may be incomplete or even mistaken.
If you are advised you need an attorney, the lawyer advising you of this should also explain why it is in your best interest that you get a lawyer. After that exchange of information you will also have a better feel for whether this is the lawyer for you. You should consult an attorney if:
- You are confronting a problem that leaves you uncomfortable with the legal questions the problem creates.
- You are asked to give a statement about a matter that will or could involve you as more than just a witness.
- You have been involved in an incident involving serious injuries to any person.
