We Need Lawyers, Honestly We Do!

Lawyers provide the community with a useful service. They go beyond the fact that only lawyers are familiar with the legal jargon involved with nearly every legal document. Let us put behind us the old adage that lawyers are only there to fleece us and that they can’t be trusted. I mean really, should all lawyers be tarred with the same brush?

I think not! Let’s face it without lawyers the majority of us would be lost if we ever found ourselves in court. They seem to have a language of their own, one that twists and turns and seem to lead nowhere especially when you are trying to understand legal documents. Thankfully there are law firms such as simmons jannace stagg who are out there to change this false perception that lawyers seem to have.

Take the case where Thomas Stagg of Simmons, Jannace & Stagg, LLP recently obtained a ruling from the United States Bankruptcy Court in New York that clarifies a credit card company's obligation to consumers. This was a case of national significance, a ruling that was important to creditors and debtors alike. They were therefore able to reshape a particular law for the better understanding of many. This is indeed an accomplishment as unclear laws can be abused and twisted in such a fashion that lawbreakers use them to their advantage.
