Ahh, yes. . .
‘Life’ happens. . .
Many times LSB has been approached by someone regarding a difficult scenario in their life and has been asked: “Do I really need to hire a lawyer for this?” The answer is twofold: Some legal documents do not require the supervision and/or signature of an attorney and may include, but are not limited to:
- Wills and Living Wills
- Guardianship and Power of Attorney
- Elder abuse reports
- Emancipation
- Drivers license recovery
- Real Estate offers/pending contracts
- Small and Large Claim filings
- Landlord/Tenant disputes and filings
- Assistance with family law document preparation and filings
- Notary services
- and many others
In other instances, a person may opt to act ‘pro se’, (which is Latin for “as one’s own attorney”) and avoid the cost of hiring counsel. However, depending on the complexity of the case at hand, it is best to seek out your options prior to making that crucial decision of either hiring an attorney for a higher cost, or deciding to let LSB Legal help you investigate your alternatives. Please bear in mind that Paralegals cannot offer legal advice and prior to contacting LSB Legal, we ask that you please review and understand the legal disclaimer as posted on this site.
