Legal Representation on a Budget

I believe it was Abraham Lincoln who said “[h]e who represents himself has a fool for a client.” This is true in most cases, especially those involving complex legal issues or an attorney representing the other party. Even as an attorney, there are matters that I would not represent myself as I may not know enough about a particular area of the law to be an effective advocate for myself. Some people do not hire attorneys because they believe that they cannot afford one. Depending on the nature of the legal matter, an individual is not required to have money to obtain representation. Many attorneys accept cases on a contingency fee basis, that is, the attorney does not require money upfront from the client and collects a fee and recovers cost from any money received at the conclusion of the case.

At the Mike Kelly Law Group, LLC our cases involving personal injury, medical malpractice, consumer law, workers’ compensation, social security disability and veteran’s disability are generally accepted on a contingency fee basis. We also provide free consultations, so it costs nothing to speak with one of our attorneys regarding your legal matter. If you have a legal question outside of our practice areas, I recommend that you at least speak with an attorney to see how much or how little is required to obtain representation…read more.
