Here is my list of what I feel are seven of the most common situations when you should consult an attorney. Can you think of a time when you wish you would've / could've contacted an attorney to help resolve or clear up a situation. If you can please post it in comments.
1. Making a will and living will.
Everyone should have a will, statistics show approximately 70% of all North Americans, 50% of those over 50, do not have a will.
2. Buying, selling or leasing a home
Your real estate agent and lender are not lawyers, they are looking out for themselves, not you.
3. Property disputes
This could include everything from property lines to unreturned borrowed items, to who gets Aunt Minnies silverware (see number one above and solve the silverware dispute).
4. Moving traffic violations
There are many I's to dot and T's to cross in any court proceeding, good representation can save you money and keep your record clear.
5. Any incident of property or bodily injury occurring to or by another person.
A small bump can turn into a major law suit, consulting an attorney up front can prevent some major headaches.
6. Any agreement that requires your signature.
This constitutes a legal agreement, why would you go into a legal agreement without consulting your attorney?
7. Credit or warranty disputes.
Excessive charges and denied warranty issues are common because they are rarely disputed by legal counsel, most try to do it themselves and lose out.

There is no doubt about it: there would be times where we would need legal counsel to help us make important decisions in life. Hiring a reputable attorney with the right credentials and experience in different fields of the law is what you'll need to settle those traffic violations and get that expensive silverware from Aunt Minnie..=)

Writing a will is very essential. It isn’t just actually for providing who should inherit your assets. There are many other things a will can be used for, one is specifying funeral arrangements. Nonetheless, hiring a lawyer to draft your will can certainly give you more assurances. He sees to it that every statement in your will abides the law, offers the best tax advantages for your properties and heirs. Thus, you’re confident enough that the document stands up in court if it’s to be investigated, and everything will go smoothly according to your plan.

Hiring a criminal defense attorney when you are charged of a crime or wrongfully accused will not only help you navigate the legal system, he or she may hire investigators to look into the case more. They will analyze and interpret the evidence thoroughly and come up with counter arguments and strategies to help you with your case.

Property dispute is sometimes the problem of families, especially if the parents are divorced. Equitable distribution can be tricky and you might end without any property. So, having a legal counsel can help you walk away with a favorable distribution of the property. They have the full knowledge and information in determining how the assets and debts are to be split between the ex-couples.
