In my opinion, it is critical and most beneficial to the client to have a person schooled and knowledgeable regarding the differing aspects of the law as an advisor. These would include business formation, real and personal property matters, agency, contracts, litigation, marital matters, estate planning, tax, and retirement benefits, workers compensation and even elder law and retirement planning. The ethical responsibilities of a certified practicing attorney make the client and his or her interests paramount to the business of earning money. Even the opporunity of solicitation and advertising are restricted. I do not believe that there is any professional comparison available to the so called "agent".
