Why you need legal help

Last updated May 2026 · By Social Stardom

We are likely to need legal help at least once a year, yet most of us do

not actively seek legal help.

This is borne out of data from a survey

conducted by Leo J. Shapiro & Associates, on behalf of the American Bar

Associations Section of Litigation, which shows that close to three

quarters of American adults experience some event during a twelve-month

period that may require the services of a lawyer. Over half of those who

needed an attorney chose not to hire one, and close to 80% of those yet to

experience legal problems gave strong indications they might go down the

same route.

Why all the doom and gloom? Price is the most sticking point

for most consumers. When it comes to hiring a lawyer, hourly fees of $100

up to $1000 are out of reach of most peoples budget. And then comes the

trepidation of searching for a good attorney and the right service: there

is a lot of uncertainty and confusion as what a lawyer will do, and how to

tell the good from the bad.

A legal plan may solve these problems and change the way you think of legal

services. Thanks to this arrangement, you can now talk to a lawyer whenever

you have a problem, without fear this will leave you out of pocket. In

fact, you dont even need to be embroiled in a legal problem to get legal

advice: just pick up the phone, call your attorney and get the necessary

legal advice susceptible of resolving any potential problems with

professional legal advice and follow-up, you can prevent ninety percent of

your legal questions becoming legal problems. Basic services such as the

drafting of your will, review of sample health contracts and writing

letters on your behalf are handled at no cost to you. If you want further

coverage to include family problems, such as a divorce or custody of

children, and any legal representation in court, then you simply pay a

premium and get more inclusive coverage.

Even if your plan doesnt cover complex legal matters, it can still save

you money on those sky-high attorney fees. Discounts of up to 20% are

offered on hourly and flat rates. Ultimately, its not all down to how much

you can save. Having an attorney readily available at all times gives you

peace of mind, in the knowledge that there is someone you can use on

retainer for advice and help on anything of legal nature.
