When people run into a situation that calls for the expertise of a skilled lawyer, some may hesitate. After all, many people learn about attorneys from TV shows or movies. The Law Offices of Conti & Levy, a team of highly skilled lawyers serving clients throughout Connecticut, would like to clear up some very popular misconceptions about the legal profession.

For example, you may think that:

  • family lawAll Lawyers Are Rich: While the exact figure depends a great deal on where you practice, what fields you specialize in, and who you typically work for, most lawyers make somewhere around $100,000 per year. The rich outliers typically work for wealthy clients or provide extremely specialized services at very large law firms.
  • All Lawyers' Clients Are Rich: Everyone deserves competent legal representation, whether you've been accused of a crime or hit by a car. Some attorneys offer fees on a sliding scale, and many more are willing to work out a payment plan.
  • Lawyers Are Argumentative: While lawyers need to be able to clearly communicate an argument, the ability to negotiate and understand the other side is often much more important, especially for a family law or insurance attorney.
  • Lawyers Are Only After The Money: This very popular misconception comes in part from movies and TV shows, but in reality, your attorney has a duty to protect your interests. Lawyers are held to very high ethical standards and are obligated to do what is best for their clients.

Over the years, The Law Offices of Conti & Levy have established a reputation for high-quality service, honesty, and a steadfast dedication to their clients' needs.
