You and your lawyer - Hot Topics series
|
Details »
|
|
Note:
|
At some stage in our lives, most of us have a legal issue or problem. It may be as a result of buying or selling property, starting or ending a relationship, having an accident, organising a will or administering an estate. This may mean that you need legal advice or assistance. Many people feel intimidated by the law, as it often appears daunting and difficult to understand. This Hot Topics issue will help you understand the role of a lawyer, and the help provided by other organisations in the legal service sector. It includes practical information about how to work with a lawyer, lawyers' duties, ethics, costs and complaints
