4 Situations When You May Need An Attorney

"Do I need an attorney?" This question echos in the minds of everyone who experiences most challenging situations - especially ones with obvious legal ramifications. How do you know when you need to hire an attorney and when to navigate the situation by yourself? The short answer is that hiring an attorney at the Lake of the Ozarks can almost always benefit you in some way, but there are certain situations wherein hiring an attorney is critical. Here are a few examples.



1. When You Have Been Physically Injured
Insurance companies are just that - companies. They are out to make a profit, and unfortunately, that profit often comes at the expense of their customers. Insurance companies will usually find any reason they can to deny your claim. If you have suffered an injury and are facing expensive medical bills and missed time from work, a personal injury lawyer at the Lake of the Ozarks may be able to help relieve some of your financial pressures.

2. When You Have A Lot Of Money At Stake
If you are facing a high-powered lawsuit that could potentially cost you a great deal of money if it does not go your way, we strongly urge that you consider hiring an attorney to represent you. One of the biggest reasons people hesitate to retain an attorney is so they can avoid paying the attorney's fees, but if a negative outcome will cost you thousands of dollars, paying for quality legal representation may be a great financial move. 


3. When You Are Navigating A Challenging Divorce
Divorces are rarely easy, but some are certainly far more challenging than others. If you are involved in a highly controversial or high-stakes divorce, retaining a divorce lawyer in Camdenton MO may be in your best interest. This is especially true if any of the following situations apply to you: allegations of domestic violence have been made, there are substantial retirement savings that must be divided, or there are children involved.

4. When You Prepare Your Estate Plan
The older we get, in most cases, the more complicated our estate planning needs become. In order to establish a comprehensive estate plan, you need to account for all valuable properties and assets, any minor children, business investments, retirement savings, and the many tax considerations associated with each. An estate planning attorney in Camden County MO will be able to help you weigh all the pros and cons and devise the estate planning strategy that will best meet your needs.
