Mobile Minds Tutoring Suitability - The Role of Mobile Lawyer
Mobile Minds Tutoring Suitability - The Role of Mobile LawyerA few years ago I was tutoring a young lady for a month and to my surprise she told me that she had been through a lawsuit and was so upset by the experience, she couldn't see me again. I've seen a number of students in this same position, it's a serious issue that should be addressed in all classrooms, especially at first grade level. My response was that although it can be very upsetting, this was a tutor, she wasn't your typical first grader and she really didn't understand what she was talking about, so I suggested she go to a lawsuit mediation class, teach herself the legal terms and concepts and bring it up when she had time.I'm not saying that I'm the only person to have advised such a suggestion, but I did encounter it on more than one occasion. More importantly it didn't make much sense and frankly the issues that she was facing were more complicated than I could explain in a written piece.A few years ago, I worked on a case where a young lady with little experience in the law went to court and claimed that her personal injury attorney lied to her on more than one occasion during the litigation process. Her lawyer attempted to get her a continuance, but there were enough other issues to warrant the continuance, he was simply covering his behinds. What happened next is that the case dragged on for several years and then after several rounds of appeals all the way to the Supreme Court she was awarded a settlement, but not until after she had died of a heart attack.With all due respect to any first graders in elementary school, it's important to teach them everything they need to know to handle themselves in court, if for no other reason than because they are going to be sitting in the courtroom with their lives on the line and with the opportunity to teach the rest of us a lesson we might not be ready for. Since so many people have commented, I will now explain how it works.The courtroom is a v ery serious environment and one that can easily burn a hole in your pocketbook. These cases can take months and even years to resolve and a lawyer is going to work on a contingency basis, so it is possible that your case can be settled much faster than you anticipate. When a lawyer is representing a client, they get paid based on the results of the case, which means the more wins, the higher the monthly retainer fee, but it also means that if they lose the case and the client pays a retainer, that lawyer is not getting paid. There are a lot of issues that come into play when a lawyer gets compensated based on their win rate, which is why it is imperative that everyone who is working as a lawyer understands the various aspects of a case, both for themselves and for their clients.Most attorneys would be very happy to give you a referral to a personal injury lawyer, but since so many people are asking, I will give my personal advice, I've done it and I think I've helped a few individua ls find the right type of attorney for their situation. The best personal injury attorney is going to take the time to take an in depth look at the situation, look at the facts of the case and do their research.That doesn't mean they are going to fix your problem overnight, but if you take the time to work with them on your own case they can assist you in developing your own case strategy and they have the knowledge base to guide you through the legal system to see if your situation fits in with their specialty. They will discuss with you what you may not be entitled to in compensation, then evaluate whether or not they believe your case merits the attention of a specialized attorney.
