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.

Imagine you're driving down the road and then you notice those blue lights in your rearview mirror. Slight panic sets in even though you haven’t done anything wrong. We've all been there. What you do and say can have a significant impact on any legal proceedings that may follow. Your choices are critical regardless if the stop ends in minor traffic violations or an arrest for a more serious crime.
