5 Cost-Effective and Stress-Free Tips to Choosing a Legal Team

5 Cost-Effective and Stress-Free Tips to Choosing a Legal Team

There are two keys to ensuring that you get the right legal team for your case, the first is that you get a legal team who are best equipped to work on your case, and the second is that you find a legal team which you can actually afford. Unfortunately we do live in a world where the very best law firms must charge top dollar for their services, and in order to get the best you have to pay for it. With this being said, however, there are ways and means by which you can find a great legal team such as Marsh Blom Lawyers, in a stress-free and affordable way.

Pick a Newbie

New law firms have not yet had the time to earn themselves a reputation despite the fact that they may have some real talent within their ranks. In order to grow their reputation they have to charge significantly lower fees than the big boys for their services. This is not to say that these new firms are poor, the price is simply an indicator of where they are in the legal sphere. Furthermore, these teams will be hungry to get results for you as they will want to impress and get as many wins as they possibly can.

Legal Aid Societies

Legal aid societies are nonprofit organizations which offer free legal services to people out of work or on low income. If you fit into the necessary criteria then you can count on some expert support and legal assistance without it costing you a penny, perfect for both your bank account and your stress levels.

Students

If you are facing a minor legal case then you may get a lot of joy from using a promising law student to represent you. Martha Mannix, legal professor from University of Pittsburgh had this to say on students representing clients: “Generally, students in law school clinics are certified to practice law under a faculty member who is a practicing attorney” This means you can get some high level support at a fraction of the cost you’d pay at a law firm.

Contact the Bar Association

Something you can do with ease is to contact the Bar Association and see if there are any projects taking place whereby law firms offer pro-bono or discounted fees. We often see these kind of projects and if there is one in your area then you could count on a great legal team, without paying their usual fees.

Small Claims

If the issue is extremely minor, perhaps someone hasn’t paid you money that they owed, you can go to a small claims court, which will reduce the need for an expensive legal team. This can only be done in cases of low importance, but if you fit into the required profile then this could be the perfect solution for your problems.

There is plenty of affordable legal assistance out there for everyone.
