60-second assessment

Do I Need an Attorney?

Eight quick questions about the situations people most often try to handle alone. No legal advice — just a clearer picture of where a conversation with an attorney could help.

1.Have you signed an agreement in the last year without having anyone review it?

2.Is there a disagreement — with a landlord, employer, neighbour or company — that is still unresolved?

3.Have you received a letter, notice or demand you were not sure how to answer?

4.If something legal came up tomorrow, do you know exactly who you would call?

5.Have you avoided asking a legal question because you were worried about the cost?

6.Are your important documents (ID, titles, agreements) in one place you could find quickly?

7.Has your household changed recently — marriage, a new child, a separation or a loss?

8.Have you been notified that your personal information was part of a data breach?
