Gauging the complexity of the issue

There are instances when a lawyer may or may not be necessary for a dispute and it’s really up to you to decide if hiring a lawyer is the best option for your legal matter.

For example, a person may be getting sued and is served with copious amount of paperwork. The documents themselves are confusing and the person who is served is unsure about the appropriate steps. Hiring a lawyer may prove to be useful in this case because he/she can carefully go over the documents and provide sound legal counsel and representation.

Alternatively, if you have a firm understanding of the legal process and its implications, hiring a lawyer may not be entirely necessary. For instance, when filing for the divorce, the couple may not have any children, substantial assets, or other pressure issues. In this case, a lawyer may not be necessary and the couple and go through the process by themselves.

Ultimately, it’s up to your judgment regarding your comfort level with the legal process. In any case, having a consultation with a lawyer about your situation may prove to be a useful asset as there may be unforeseeable and complex issues that you may not have considered in the case.
