There are a number of reasons why you may want to hire a lawyer, but the most important one is so that you can maximize your chance of success. Even a simple and seemingly "open and shut" legal problem can become incredibly complicated in a matter of moments. One wrong move or one overlooked filing of a paper can lead to a judgment against you. A ruling such as this could easily cost you hundreds (or even thousands of dollars) in fines, court costs and other penalties. Everyone wants to win and hiring an attorney is the wisest option available.While many people understand the need to hire a lawyer to help if the issue is a major criminal offense such as B&E (breaking and entering), burglary, or criminal trespass, they do not often realize that a good attorney can help with even the most minor legal issues.

However, when it comes to such options, most people only think of three things: living at home, nursing homes or assisted living centers.But, happily, there is another fast growing option available to American seniors the Continuing Care Retirement Community or CCRC.A CCRC combines the services of an independent living retirement community with an assisted living facility and nursing home, all on site.Residents of CCRCs pay an entrance fee and an ongoing monthly fee for services. In return, they receive all the benefits of independent living (their own private living quarters, the ability to continue driving, etc.), along with the security of knowing they have excellent assisted living or nursing home care available to them on site and within reach for the rest of their lives.A Not For Profit OptionUnlike most assisted living or nursing home facilities in the United States, most CCRCs are not for profit. Many are operated by charitable or religious organizations.If the CCRC takes...more
