In a world of crime, crookedness, and the constant threat of being sued, there are many ways to protect one’s self. When it comes to protecting your assets or just your butt, this guide will help you know when to seek out a civil lawyer in Grass Valley, CA.

1. When it comes to Family Law you should always seek an attorney. Whether there are children involved or it is just a nasty divorce you want to make sure your life is as little impacted as possible. Talk to an attorney about your options and where to go from the point you are standing at.

2. Criminal Law requires an attorney ALWAYS, even if it is just a public defender. Life can go from 0 to 60 in a matter of seconds and you want to make sure you leave with your life. Always listen to your Miranda rights and consult an attorney first.

3. To protect your assets Wills, Trusts, and Estates are paramount. Unlike a company like LegalZoom, an attorney will make sure your assets are safe and you aren’t undoing the documents you believe you completed. If you need to cut someone out of your Estate or adding someone in, go to an attorney for an amendment and rest assured your wishes are made true.

4. When conducting Business, seek an attorney when incorporating a new or existing business, when you are selling or purchasing a business, or simply buying interest in a business. This will ensure you are making the right move to become king of the chessboard.
