If you are in a position where you might be faced with legalities, it might be tempting to try and save some money and represent yourself. Especially when, with the click of a few buttons, you can find out almost anything you want on the Internet and social media is flooded with professional advisers, more than happy to give their opinion, based on, well, not a lot;

Reason No.1 – They completely neglected the power of experience

The law is complicated, of that, there is no doubt. To underestimate how complex, it can be and to think that experience doesn’t matter has landed many a person in some deep sticky stuff. As an example, some lawyers specialize in different areas of expertise because, they couldn’t possibly provide the best possible service if their duties included all areas of law.

Some will focus on criminal law whilst others may focus on civil law suits, both are like a tree in the sense that they have numerous individual branches of specialist law subjects such as Parramatta family lawyers. So, it kind of goes without saying, if a professional, qualified lawyer knows their place, your average Joe should know better.

Reason No.2 – They thought they knew more than they actually did

Easily done these days with the growth of the Internet and social media, however, being realistic, how many of those people who have either written a blog or, offered help by way of a message or comment on social media are qualified professionals? The answer is probably zero, zero to hero get’s you nowhere when it comes to the law and getting the correct outcome for you.

It is also very important to sift or filter any information that you see online, even if it’s on a Bonafede professionals’ website. Most people will be happy to try and help but, where is their experience? Have they been through the same situation and if so, how did it end? The chances are, the answer to the experience is again, zero, which turns the help or advice into an opinion which is worth about the same in terms of weight, zero.

Reason No.3 – They thought that they could save some money

Nobody can argue with the idea of saving money and that, for some people it’s really important, more so than others. Unless you are super rich or, just don’t care, then the process of trying to save money or, get the best deal will probably come into nearly all financial decisions that are made, it makes perfect sense. However, it makes absolutely no sense when it comes to the law and, having to pay much more than a lawyer would cost, if things go wrong.
