When you hire someone who is not licensed, you put your case, your money, and your rights at risk. These individuals often:
- Give incorrect or incomplete legal advice.
- Miss deadlines or file improper documents.
- Lack the ethical standards and oversight attorneys are held to.
The result? Your case could be thrown out, your assets put in jeopardy, or your family left unprotected.
