5 Excuses People Make For Not Hiring A Lawyer
Hiring a lawyer doesn’t start with money. It starts with your choice of words, which are free. It is a lot easier to choose words that are excuses in order to justify not taking action, rather than taking action. Here are 5 excuses people make for not hiring a lawyer.
“It costs too much.” This is the most common excuse for not hiring a lawyer. But proper budgeting and planning and taking advantage of new technology that allows you to choose your own legal budget mean that spending money on legal expenses doesn’t have to be costly.
“The problem will go away.” Ignoring your legal problem because you think it will magically go away can have drastic consequences, such as ultimately having a judgment entered against you. If you use this as an excuse not to hire a lawyer, you will get badly burned.
“The timing is not right. As soon as I….the time will be perfect.” If you wait for the perfect time, it will never come. You simply need to take action and trust that you have the intelligence and resources to hire the right lawyer who can guide you through the legal process.
“My friend handled his case on his own. I can too.” Most do-it-yourselfers believe they can win a case against the other party or handle a legal matter because their non-lawyer friend or family member told them that they could. That is until they find out the hard way. Lawyers are experts at handling and resolving legal matters, so why not hire an expert when you can?
Which do you choose? To make an excuse or to take action?
