American Legal System
The legal system here in America is known for it’s fair processes and commitment towards fair trials for all people, but the legal system and all of the codes are still so utterly confusing that most lawyers don’t even understand it all in detail. That’s why you always need competent legal representation anytime you’re involved at all with the legal system. We are NOT saying that you should not trust the police in your area, but you have the right no refuse to answer any questions until your lawyer is present with you.
Whether forced or not, there is quite a history of false confessions in America, whether that be from outside pressure or lack of understanding is unknown so having your lawyer present is never bad and it does NOT mean that you are guilty. The court case Gideon VS Wainwright held that the Sixth Amendment’s right to council provision actually required that the government provide legal counsel to all of those that can’t afford professional defense for themselves. You of course CAN elect to represent yourself, but that’s not recommended in any situation.
Traffic Lawyers
Traffic laws were designed not to be an annoyance to the driver, but to protect the driver from themselves as well as others on the road. Most people do all they can to drive safely, while a select few make horrible choices like driving drunk or not following speed limits. Nobody wants to get pulled over, and it’s honestly easy to avoid if you follow some simple rules. Make sure all lights and indicators on your car work, ensure your car is registered and up to date on that, and most importantly just follow all of the traffic laws.

Family Law Experts
Family law is often related to quite unpleasant proceedings like trying to split up possessions from a deceased relative to divorce proceedings. Most people are aware than up to half of all American marriages end in divorce, so family law is a very common practice. Child custody cases can be very brutal, so you want someone with good knowledge of the law backing you up. All of these things can be all but impossible to figure out on your own, you’re often just better off calling in the pros for help. A professional lawyer will keep you from being the one that gets screwed over.

Getting Legal Services
Not having experienced legal representation with you during any legal situation is a disaster waiting to happen. Even if the police are just asking you questions, you certainly have the right to stay silent until your lawyer arrives. Anything you say can and will be used against you in court, your lawyer can keep you from mis-speaking or incriminating yourself by accident. The bond between client and lawyer is still sacred and respected fully, the things you tell your lawyer will simple never be repeated again. The next time you find yourself in litigation or legal trouble, you need to make sure you’ve got a lawyer you can trust by your side.
