often, I've heard many people say that, there is nothing that will make them call for the services of a lawyer.
And also most persons have this notion that once a lawyer is involved, it's smells trouble etc.
Thoughts like this and many more made me realize that, there are still many people out there who doesn't know the core value of the law.
I often advise people to know their rights first, once you are aware of that, you can stand tall and defend yourself without looking for a lawyer to spell them out for you.
Majority of the Nigerian population are usually afraid of pushing for their rights for fear of the cost of litigation. Just so we know, there is an organization called "LEGAL AID" which is meant solely for those who can't afford the cost of litigation. It appoints a legal practitioner to represent you in court at no cost.
Equally, there are some legal practitioners that handle cases 'PRO-BONO' (at no cost) no legal fee is charged.
One key area I will advise people to involve a legal practitioner no matter how broke you are is when it has to do with the acquisition of property(ies).
This aspect has sparked up various disputes and even death to so many people.
Once, there is a valid document prepared by a legal practitioner evidencing your ownership in lieu of the property, no challenge can be sustained unless the other party proves otherwise.
Most people just acquire things/property and sit down to prepare the agreement themselves without any endorsement from a certified lawyer. Where the other person turns around and deny the existence of such agreement, proving such will be very difficult unless there were substantial witnesses to the agreement, but with the involvement of a lawyer, you don't need to stress yourself, he will do the proving on your behalf.
