The Law and You

The Law and You

I don't understand what my lawyer is saying!

  • It is very important for you and your lawyer to understand each other.
  • Ask your lawyer to drop the legal jargon and speak in plain English.
  • Don't be afraid to ask questions.
  • Be sure you understand what is going on and that you are clear with your lawyer about what you want to see happen.
  • Remember your lawyer is working for you.
  • You always have the right to try a different lawyer.
