Different Types of Lawyers

By Henry

There are many areas of specialization for lawyers, each one quite different from the rest. Legal matters can be serious and choosing the right type of lawyer can greatly influence the results that you obtain. We can categorize them under three main specializations:

  • Family Law

Family law specialized lawyers relates to the issues surrounding families and family matters. Family lawyers work with marriages, divorces, child custody, child support, etc. These lawyers also handle controversial issues such as gay marriage and domestic partnerships. They also take disputes such as settlements on family properties and inheritance discussions.

  • Criminal Law

Criminal law specialized lawyers deals with the serious issues of crime and punishment. They handle cases that range from simple Driving Under Influence cases to murder trials. The range is quite wide, and some lawyers may choose to work for the government as a prosecuting attorney, or as a private criminal defense lawyer.

  • Civil Law

Civil law specialized lawyers handles disputes between two private parties, as opposed to criminal law, which is between individuals and government jurisdictions. These are the lawyers that attend to case against private entities and companies.

To obtain the best legal representation available, some lawyers have chosen to take a more defined legal jurisdiction, creating a long list of specialized lawyers. Below is the list of some that you may find available for hire.
