There are some general guidelines that can help you decide whether to hire an attorney:
  1. If the amount of money at stake is significant, it is probably worth hiring an attorney to protect your interests.
  2. If the dispute is complex or involves difficult legal issues, it is also a good idea to seek professional help.
  3. If you do not feel confident about representing yourself in court, an attorney can give you peace of mind knowing that someone is on your side and fighting for you.  In most cases, a business owner who is not an attorney is not permitted to represent a corporation or other legal entity in court, so an experienced civil litigation attorney will be essential to protect the rights of your business or organization.
Ultimately, whether to hire an attorney should be based on your specific situation and needs. If you have any doubts, it is always best to consult with a qualified legal professional.
Businesses of all sizes can benefit from collaborative law. This approach is especially beneficial for businesses that have a large number of attorneys working on their cases.
