Many people view lawyers as either friend or foe.
They don't realize that a good lawyer is neither. You turn to a lawyer because you need an objective, knowledgeable person who knows the minefield in which you've found yourself, knows the best route to the other side, and will guide you there safely. The law presents many varied minefields. The trick is to find an attorney who knows the road map through yours. The Contra Costa County Bar Association is a non-profit organization, supported by attorneys who care for our community.
