Q: When is the best time to hire a lawyer?

A: As soon as possible. If you've tried your best to resolve the matter on your own and run into a brick wall with the insurance company, the service department, the better business bureau, the consumer protection department, or the person or company at fault, then you need to keep in mind that there are time limits on your right to file a lawsuit. These time limits, called statutes of limitations, vary widely from state to state and also depend on the type of claim and the facts surrounding the case. Some time limits are only a few months long. If you wait too long and the time to bring a lawsuit passes, you can lose your right to bring a claim.
