Legal Representation

Legal representation is the act of providing legal advice and representation to someone in a legal matter. This can be done by a lawyer or other legal professional, such as a paralegal. Legal representation is important because it can help ensure that an individual’s rights and interests are protected in legal proceedings. A lawyer can provide legal advice and guidance, help to negotiate settlements, and represent an individual in court. In some cases, such as criminal proceedings, the right to legal representation is guaranteed by law.
