The United States of America was founded and built around the idea of equality and justice and towards that end our founding fathers created the Constitution. Today the constitution is the heart of the justice system and guides the courts towards the ideal of preserving everything our country was founded on.

But even if you aren’t facing criminal charges, you may find yourself ensnared in the justice system of the courts in other ways just as unpleasant such as a nasty divorce, a child custody fight or a lawsuit and you will quickly realize that you need a lawyer to help not only protect your rights but be your advocate in court.

When you are arrested on criminal charges you can exercise one of the Miranda rights read to you during your arrest, such as the right to have a court appointed attorney if you can’t afford one, but for civil and family problems you may have to find an attorney on your own, whether you feel you can afford one or not.

The justice system is designed to be fair but in that effort the system has become anything but simple. If you try and go it alone you will feel like a lost child with no idea what to do or where to go and you may end up losing a case that you should have won.

So with these facts in mind, it’s vital that you undertake any legal proceedings with legal help at your side. Sometimes a lawyer can advocate for you and avoid going into a court room completely and you can get some if not all of what you want without rolling the dice in a courtroom.

If you find yourself in a situation that requires legal help the first step is to find a lawyer that specializes in the area you need help in. Most law firms will have several attorneys and each one will generally have an area of law that they specialize in. If you call the law firm and explain what type of law you need help in- family law, criminal law or civil law for example the receptionist can generally direct you to the right attorney to talk to.
