Lawyers are supposed to solve problems. Sometimes that takes brilliant legal minds, deductive reasoning, and passionate advocacy for a client.
Usually, though, a healthy sense of common sense, compassion, and a little quick thinking will more than fit the bill. Do you know any professions where these qualities wouldn't be helpful? I don't, and I think that's one more reason why you don't always need a lawyer- you need a dispassionate sounding board. Lawyers, in case you didn't know, don't acquire these skills in law school, and tend not to have them in any greater quantity than other professions.

- I am an elder law attorney with my own solo practice. I'm located in central New Jersey but I make house calls. I am in the business of setting the elderly and their caregivers at ease, by making sure they have high-quality health care they can afford, and governmental benefits they're entitled to.
