Pivot Legal

1. With your lawyer's assistance, write down your legal objectives and try to stick to them. Keep that list as brief and realistic as possible. Understand that your lawyer may only be able to help you with one area of your legal issues. He or she may need to refer you somewhere else for other areas such as housing, family or business law.

The process for hiring a lawyer is regulated by the Law Society of British Columbia, in order to protect clients. However, the process is much like hiring a mechanic to fix your car.
