Happy January! Let’s kick off this year with some quick and helpful legal tips.
1.) Never sign anything without getting a copy or taking a picture. This helps with keeping your records in order and having proof if at any point in your case there is a dispute about agreements you made or paperwork that you signed.
2.) Consult experts to help navigate uncertain times. The internet loves to tell us we can do things on our own, but consulting with legal professionals can help you save time, and money, and avoid extra stress!
3.) Be careful on e-mail and social media. The internet is forever and what you say from behind a screen can and will be used against you. Think twice before sending nasty messages or information pertaining to a potential or ongoing legal case.
4.) Ask questions and be ready to compromise. Sometimes the only way to move forward is to understand the legal process you are going through and be willing to compromise with the other party. You may not get everything you thought you would, but it will help you have a better understanding and a quicker, cheaper, legal dispute.
5.) Clarify Expectations. When you have a legal issue, it is YOUR legal issue. Make sure at your first consultation with an attorney you let them know your goals, wants, and needs. This way your attorney can approach your case trying to find a solution that works best for you.
Hope these tips help you out with any legal hurdles you may encounter this year. As always, feel free to contact our office if you have any questions or concerns!
