A lawyer is a service provider like any other profession. Lawyers work within a set of rules and regulations day in day out and have established experience of dealing with legal problems that are commonplace.
Where legal problems become more complex, lawyers know where to find the right answers. They know how to develop a good solution for a particular situation they want to advocate.
It is that knowledge, skill, and expertise that you are paying for when you consult a lawyer. A good lawyer can deal with legal issues quickly, efficiently and properly because of that knowledge, training and experience that they have established.
In our view, you should want a lawyer involved in you legal issues. Read our article on needing a lawyer or not.
