Like
doctors and other professionals, lawyers range from general practitioners to
specialists. Typically, lawyers who offer general legal services concentrate on
legal issues concerning the general public—for example, wills or real estate
transactions. However, if you are seeking a lawyer because of legal problem
associated with your online activities, you should look for a specialist who
focuses on media law or intellectual property issues on the Internet. If you
want to set up a business, you should find a lawyer with experience in

thinks the lawyer is good.
