Working with a Legal Consultant

When deciding between hiring a lawyer or non-lawyer legal consultant, consider the unique legal services each professional can offer. Lawyers are legally authorized to practice law and handle cases in court, meaning they may be more equipped to represent your case and provide optimal legal defense when necessary. Conversely, non-lawyers are typically consulted for their expertise in specific areas of law like administrative matters or consulting on certain documents such as contracts or settlement agreements. When making this important decision, it’s important to think carefully about which type of professional makes sense for you given the nature of your legal needs.
