Whether you need help drawing up a will or a contract – or you’re facing some sort of legal jeopardy or dilemma – hiring an attorney can be expensive.
According to USLegal.com and related websites, most lawyers charge between $100 and $300 an hour. That can feel prohibitive if you need a lawyer to get you out of a legal jam or protect your assets, but you don’t feel like you have any money to spare. Here are some reasons you may need a lawyer:
- Family law issues, like a contentious divorce.
- Estate planning.
- Personal injury.
- Criminal charges.
- A restraining order.
- Your business needs to be restructured or dissolved.
- You are facing bankruptcy.
