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. But do you know when you can use a paralegal and when you really need a lawyer? I started this blog to explore the differences between an attorney’s services and a paralegal’s services. You need to know that you’re choosing the right professional for your legal problem, and this blog can help you determine what kind of legal help you need.
