    I don't understand why more people do not hire attorneys when it comes to contracts. There really is no way to understand most of them without a law degree, and people really don't understand what they are agreeing to.

    I agree with your statement. Most people just expect the "summary", that the person gives them, before signing is truthful. I think if more people understood what was in most contracts, they would never sign them.

    I think people do it to try to save money. I don't think they realize the complications of it. In the end, they are bound to miss things that a lawyer would not, making it a possible liability.

    Sometimes the money you spend on hiring a good solicitor is actually money saved. If something goes wrong, you could be out of a lot of money, if you didn't understand what you signed up for.
