What really happens when you hire a lawyer?
For most people, stepping into a law firm feels intimidating, and unclear expectations only add to the stress. But the legal profession is bound by strict rules designed to protect you, the client.
In our latest theme feature, we walk you through the first meeting with your attorney, explain the different roles of attorneys and advocates and unpack the legal duties professionals owe you from the start.
