Lawyers don't have the right to represent anyone period! Lawyers are people who went to law schools but did not pass the bar in their states. So they can only assist you in filing legal papers and advise you of the laws etc... Attorneys, on the other hand, are the ones who have not only went to law schools but have also passed the Bar. Only Attorneys can represent people or corporations in court without you even having to be there! That is why you should pay attention to their business card when they hand you one. See if it says, Lawyer or Attorney. A Lawyer will not tell you the difference between them and an Attorney, they want your money period. You should never ever pay a Lawyer the same kind of money you would pay an Attorney.
