DUI Cases:
In certain circumstances, you need to contact an attorney within ten days to prevent loss of driver's license.

Criminal Cases:
In criminal cases, it is advised to seek the advice of an attorney as soon as possible.

Divorce Cases:
In the event you are going to get a divorce, you should seek the advice of an attorney, even if you believe that the divorce will be uncontested. If your spouse has an attorney, that attorney is only representing the interest of your spouse. An attorney cannot represent both parties in a divorce.

Personal Injury Cases:
If you are injured, it is also in your best interest to consult a lawyer as soon as possible, so the lawyer can gather information about the case. In most cases, you have two years to file a lawsuit, or your claim is barred.
