Many people are placed in bad situations because they think they cannot afford to go through a lawsuit. Let's face it - litigation is expensive, and there are rarely true "winners" in litigation. The money, stress and time involved often makes litigation a lose-lose proposition for all involved parties. If you have a dispute with your friend over money you loaned them, have been harrassed by your neighbor over the height of some bushes, or were just terminated and are looking at a severance agreement, does that mean your only options are 1) to accept what was done or 2) sue? Of course not. The role of a lawyer is to explain what your rights are, and to help you look at your options. Remember that an attorney has two titles -- Attorney and Counselor. We ADVISE of your rights. We COUNSEL regarding your options. A good lawyer will help you understand not just "if you have a case" to sue someone, but what suing an employer, or a store, or a neighbor, or a relative, will do to your life. It is always your decision if you wish to take that advice. You can receive all the good advice in the world, and then ignore it. But, at least you know what you are doing, and the risks you are taking when you make that decision. That is what is called making an informed decision. Rozovics Law Firm, LLC can help you determine if there is an option short of litigation, and can help you with those negotiations, That is not to say that every case will have a resolution outside of court. Perhaps the only option will be to sue (or to be sued). But, knowing your rights and obligations may help you minimize the costs involved -- to your pocketbook, and to your life. |
