It’s almost guaranteed: at some point in your life, you will need to hire a lawyer. For some people, this could be a relatively mundane part of life like getting a will, fighting a traffic ticket, or putting your house in a trust. For others, it could be a fortunate event, like starting a business, getting a new job, or buying a home, or an unfortunate event, like divorce, bankruptcy, getting injured, or being charged with a crime.

A Majority of Americans Have Needed or Will Need Legal Assistance

According to The Research Intelligence Group (TRiG), approximately 70% of all households have needed to hire or consult with a lawyer in the last year. Still many people don’t hire a lawyer when they need one—largely because they are intimidated by the process, which can be frustrating and time-consuming. Like with all things, the process becomes less intimidating if you are informed as to what it entails beforehand.
