HOW TO SOLVE LEGAL PROBLEM?

INTRODUCTION

We all have a problem in our life, be it a family problem, relationship problem or a legal problem. Many times we can solve such a problem but not always a legal problem. We often end up not taking a stand against acts of others even if we know that we have laws for protection against it. Why does this happen? The reason for not proceeding against such actions might be because most of the people don’t know how to proceed or what sort of remedies are available to them.

I am here to discuss step by step guidance on how to solve a legal problem.

1. Know your problem: the simpler it sounds, the more complex it is. Firstly, know the problem you are facing. If any action is being committed and you are the one who is being suffered from it then instead of avoiding it start reacting against it.
2. Stop procrastinating: People don’t prefer to take any action due to the fear of long court procedure but keep in mind that it doesn't disappear by itself you have to do something to deal with the matter. The longer you procrastinate; the things tend to get worse.
3. The remedy you wish to seek: look out for the remedy you wish to seek. For example, if your partner has deserted you and you want to go through court proceedings, then you should know exactly what remedy you want to seek. Whether you want the court to grant a decree of divorce or order your partner to reunite. Hence, you have to be clear and precise about your prayer before approaching the court.
4. Know your legal right: know the legal rights and the ways available to you. For example, the problem might get solved through mediation, court procedure or simply through informal chat. It is advisable to seek the issue through informal chat, if possible, because the court procedure ends up taking years to complete the formalities depending upon the case.
5. Find an attorney: the internet has a mass of information and making research on the internet or taking advice from your family and friends is a good option, but advice from such sources might not always be accurate and up to date. Hence, it is advisable to find an attorney who can help you out and advise you with the best options available in your case. Moreover, without an attorney, things would deteriorate in court.
6. Communicate effectively: explain your problem to the attorney briefly. The decision of the court would depend upon the facts of your case. Don’t hesitate to tell any of the facts to your attorney because missing even one fact might cost you your case.
7. Participate in your case: remember that it is your case, and the attorney is there to help you solve your problem. It isn’t mandatory to appear in court on the due date, but when you are in court, be on your best behavior and respect the court. Speak only when you are given permission from your advocate because you might end up screwing your case when interrupting and speaking what you were not expected to speak.
8. Keep yourself updated: ask your advocate about the status of your case. Keep asking the question when you don’t understand anything. Your active participation shows your concern.

CONCLUSION

Well, Court proceedings are neither difficult nor easy. All you have to do is to get help from an attorney and leave the case to him. An advocate for a case is as important as a doctor is to conduct a medical operation. A non-lawyer has no or less knowledge of the procedure of the court. Therefore, it is advisable to consult an advocate before going ahead with the court proceedings.
