This is the first question you should ask yourself. In some cases, you can handle the problem without hiring a lawyer. If the problem is small and can be handled without the advice of a lawyer, then you can usually find the right forms and resources; however, if the situation involves a major problem like being slapped with a lawsuit or charged with a crime, you probably need a lawyer. Boudrot Rodgers also provide Mediation services. Some problems can often be solved through a mediation process which is less expensive than going through the entire legal system.
