The best attorneys work closely with you to help solve your problems. Thankfully, you can almost always do that on your own.

But when courts, contracts, or accidents are involved, a lawyer can help. If you’ve been sued, you of course should talk to one.

If you think an agreement has been violated, or you’ve been hurt—or someone is accusing you of doing those things—talk to a lawyer.

One simple rule of thumb: If you find yourself wondering whether you should talk to an attorney, you should.

The earlier, the better. As soon as you sense a legal storm brewing, you should talk to an attorney. It’s much better to be prepared and protect yourself along the way than to try to fix things later.

Talk to as many attorneys as you can. Most lawyers are happy to chat, so take them up on it.

When you do, ask them what you would any professional: how experienced they are in the subject matter, if there are any former clients you can talk to, and what is their approach to your type of case. Every attorney has his or her own style—and you want to make sure that style works for you.
