Attorney or Paralegal?

Lawyers are expensive, which is why there’s a market for paralegal services. Paralegals are trained in the law, and while they can’t give legal advice, they can assist with filing legal documents for certain matters; limiting the amount of money that you need to spend on legal services, and the time you need to spend in court.
