Life Happens! Are You Prepared?

Has this ever been your experience?

  • ...thought about writing or revising a Will?

  • ...purchased a home?

  • ...had an income tax question?

  • ...needed advice on community property laws?

  • ...purchased a defective product?

  • ...paid a bill they knew was unfair?

  • ...been involved in a property dispute?

  • ...received a moving traffic violation they thought was unfair?

  • ...been a defendant in a civil lawsuit?

  • ...been involved in a separation or divorce?

  • ...had a problem with child support or visitation rights?

  • ...signed a legally binding document and been sorry later?

  • ...wanted advice on a credit matter?

  • ...been a victim of identity theft?

  • ...worried about being audited by the IRS?

  • ...had difficulty collecting an insurance claim?


  • Just to name a few.  Without access to quality low cost assistance, middle wage income earners are normally faced with making a financial decision prior to seeking legal consultation/representation. In addition, once a decision has been made to seek assistance for an initial consultation and the hourly rate is made known, most will cringe at the thought of incurring major personal debt, choose to supersede the real commonsense need for assistance and opt to make the situation worse by trying to handle it themselves (i.e., seek advice from other non-professionals, represent themselves in court, ignore the situation until it has become critical, etc.).

    Legal Facts:
    1.  Almost half the employees who take off from work do so to deal with problems that are either legal or legal-related.  --LSK Associates Study

    2.  The average person is more likely to find themselves in court than in the hospital, yet most people have health insurance, but no plan for legal problems.  --Hospital Statistics:  Emerging Trends & Examining the Work of State Courts

    3.  One out of every two Americans will need the advice of an attorney during the next twelve months.  Of these, nearly half will attempt to deal with the matter on their own.  --Legal needs and Civil Justice:  A Survey of Americans
