Free Legal Information – Most clients can save themselves hundreds if not thousands of dollars in lawyers fees by educating themselves on their legal issue before contacting an attorney. The resource I recommend is www.TexasLawHelp.org. This website is a completely free resource providing information and forms for legal self help. There are many legal issues people can handle themselves. There are also many issues that require an attorney or are just much easier with an attorney. You can use Texas Law Help to determine whether your legal issue is something you can handle on your own, or if you need the assistance of an attorney. All information and forms on this website is free – if you are being asked to pay for something, you are on the wrong website.
If after reading about your issue on Texas Law Help, you decide you need the assistance of a lawyer, please schedule a consult with Sircar Law Office.
Other Resources for Free Legal Assistance:
