Challenges abound in every area of the law, requiring specialized knowledge of the law and of the court system. Without a qualified attorney to provide that knowledge, one can get lost in a maze of complex procedures and Latin legal terms.
Ad litem. Respondeat superior. Quantum meruit. In articulo mortis. Res ipsa loquitur. Quid pro quo. Ad damnum. Pro se.
The last term means representing oneself, without counsel. Given the legal landscape, it is best to confine self-representation to civil matters involving very small sums of money.
As for most other legal matters, questions will inevitably arise that can only be answered by an experienced attorney. The following are but a few examples.
