This is Christmas but not for law, right? Everybody knows that if one has recently had an accident and are faced with a legal system that does not work in one’s favor he should consult with a Personal Injury Lawyer. Only your lawyer can tell you if you have a case, if you don't take the time to contact anyone how will you ever know.
Do you know the deference between the words "lawyer" and "attorney" Do the words mean the same?
In common usage, "lawyer" and "attorney" mean the same: a person trained in law,
admitted to the bar, and currently licensed to practice in a specific state or federal court. However the word "attorney" does not always mean "lawyer". For instance, a "power of attorney" may be granted to someone who is not a lawyer to act for you in a very specific circumstance. For example, a husband may give his wife a power of attorney to act for him if he is unable to make his own decisions in a health crisis. Another example: you may give your real estate agent a power of attorney to close a real estate transaction if you will be out of the area.
