Chattanooga Attorneys Engaged in the General Practice of Law

What is a General Practice Attorney?

A lawyer in the general practice of law is a legal professional who is experienced or seasoned in a wide variety of matters involving issues of law. A general practice attorney provides legal advice and counsel and represents people in multiple types of litigation, judicial disputes, as well as situations of legal significance that does not involve court proceedings. 
Examples of litigation matters - judicial controversy - include divorce, child custody proceedings, criminal charges, adopting a child, bankruptcy proceedings, and civil lawsuits. Attorney representation in litigation matters involves legal counsel, strategic planning, preparing court filings, and attending court for hearings or a trial.  Under certain circumstances civil and criminal litigation involves attorney negotiations in an effort to settle the controversy without a trial in the court.
Legal matters that are not judicial in nature include writing and reviewing legal documents such as contracts, lease agreements, real estate deeds, and the necessary documents to incorporate a business, form a LLC, or to sell a business. Preparing estate planning documents like a Last Will and Testament or a Revocable Trust is also a non-judicial legal matter for a general practice attorney.
