The Power of an Attorney

An attorney is first and foremost a rhetorician--someone skilled in the art of rhetoric.  But what's rhetoric?  Rhetoric is the art of persuasion, or the skill of convincing someone, whether that be the judge in a bench trial or the jury, that your side is right.  

​​

While you can always represent yourself, the law is complicated and an attorney often knows aspects of the law that the average person doesn't know, aspects that a skilled attorney can use to help you with your legal troubles.  Often, the mere presence of an attorney on your side makes all the difference.  I've seen countless cases where the mere presence of an attorney turned a loosing case into a winning case.  

​

I once represented a client who needed help with a governmental application, which she had filed on her own behalf.  Although she had filed it in time, it was too close to the deadline and she was worried it would not be approved in time due to governmental bureaucracy.  So I stepped in to help and filed a letter of representation on her behalf.  Before I filed the letter, the governmental website stated that her case would take 4-6 weeks to process.  However, within 24 hours of filing a letter of representation on her behalf, she had a favorable response.  

​

So if you need help with a legal matter, whether that be in a small municipal court or federal court, or just with some governmental bureaucracy, contact Newton's Law today to see how I can help you.
