IELTS Speaking Test Part 3 Questions

In your country, in what situations do people need to use a lawyer?

Normally, you hire a lawyer when you purchase property, for example, if you buy an apartment or house, also if you are in business and maybe you lease property or need a lawyer to revise business contracts in relation to deals, suppliers, vendors and so on.

Then there are family lawyers, who deal with personal disputes between family members or individuals, and I suppose if you ever appeared in court on criminal charges you would need a lawyer who was experienced in such cases.

Divorce, disputes and traffic accidents can also mean that you need the services of a lawyer, depending on the circumstances of the situation.
