General Practice Lawyer
Many people can benefit from establishing a relationship with a general practice lawyer, even when they do not have an immediate need for legal services.
When something goes wrong and you do not already have a lawyer in your corner who you know and trust, you may not have time to find someone you feel really comfortable with; and wind up having to hire someone you can only hope is going to be trustworthy and good for your case. If you are in a pinch and need someone to protect your rights, right away, many people are more comfortable when they know that they have someone on their side that they already trust and who they know is reliable.
A good general practice lawyer will have your best interests in mind, not their own wallets. A good general practice lawyer knows their own limits and knows when it is in a client’s best interest to refer them to someone who knows a particular area of the law better than they do.
A Lawyer for You
Some people find that having a relationship with a general practice lawyer is like having a family member of sorts. They typically know of significant events that happen in the lives of the family and often attend these and other important events. While one or two people in a family (such as a spouse) may be the official employer of a general practice lawyer, they are likely to meet other immediate and sometimes, extended, family members over matters that they are advising the family on or executing for them.
For other people, they will not develop a familial relationship with their general practice lawyer because they will not need a lawyer to be involved in their lives that much. Establishing a close relationship with your lawyer is not necessary but it is a good idea to establish the kind of relationship where they know you and will make you a priority in the event that you do call on them for help.
Many peoples’ lives are made easier by having a relationship with a general practice lawyer established in advance of needing their services. In the event you cannot do this, it is good to at least have an idea how to go about doing this.
