Having an attorney prepare or explain important papers, for example, can save unwelcome problems later. Of course, some problems do not require a lawyer. In such a case, you can bring a lawsuit in small claims court yourself, if you choose. Under appropriate circumstances, reputable bankers, accountants, real estate salespersons, tax firms, investment counselors, the Better Business Bureau, federal, state and local government agencies, and others can provide valuable assistance. The important thing is to consult a lawyer if a lawyer can be of help.
Most lawyers have a fee for a first office visit that is within the financial means of most people.
This visit does not obligate you to hire the lawyer. Some attorneys will list the areas of the law which they prefer to practice. Again, it should be emphasized that this brochure is not intended to replace the counsel and advice of an attorney. UTA Students who have questions about the information in this website or, for that matter, any legal questions, should contact the UTA Attorney For the Students Office .
