Taking the step to contact a lawyer can be seen as a daunting task. It’s normal to feel a little lost with the procedure of legalities. To save you (and your lawyer!) Sometimes, there are a few preliminary things your lawyer wishes you knew.

What Matters Is What You Can Prove: You may know of those claiming to have their rights violated, or those participating in illegal activities. Without any hard proof or evidence that can be presented to a court, the truth unfortunately doesn’t matter. You must have proof.

It’s Not Over Night: Justice rarely sticks to a strict 9-to-5 schedule nor a prompt next Monday morning hearing. Research, drafting, court appearances, and client communication, and multiple hearings can result in many months before a finalized decision. It’s important to recognize the time lawyers and their team dedicated to achieve desired results.

Choose a Specialist: If your car broke down, you wouldn’t reach out to a car wash to fix it. Similarly with law, lawyers study and specialize in an area of law. Whether it be injury, real estate, or entertainment, they invest enormous time to focus on this aspect of the law. This allows them to learn all the ins and outs of this particular industry, rather than being spread thin across many legal genres. Even if a lawyer outside of the type of legal help you're needing is willing to take on your case, it’s always best to choose a specialist.
