Not every legal matter will require you to hire an attorney. The truth is hiring a lawyer can prevent common mistakes that can occur in self-representation. You could be a well-educated individual and still need to hire an attorney. In fact, most attorneys often hire another attorney to represent him/her in a legal matter.

Are You a New Parent? Do You Have Young Children? Have You Thought About What Will Happen to Your Child if Something Were to Happen to You and Your Spouse? Being a new parent is an extremely exciting and positive life event. With that being said, most young or new parents don’t typically sit down and talk (or really even think) about what will happen to their child if something tragic were to happen to them.

Do you have a child? Do you own a home? Then you need an estate plan. A successful estate plan should provide for the management of your financial and personal affairs, as well as management of your health care directives should you be unable to make decisions for yourself in the future. Your estate plan should also provide your wishes for the disposition of your estate after death.
