Seeking expert advice is one of the best uses of your money. It usually reaps rewards worth much more than the original cost of the advice. When should you consult with an attorney, accountant or other professional?

According to Frank J. Weinstock, M.D., F.A.C.S. a professor of ophthalmology at the Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine in Canton, Ohio, it’s wise to consult an attorney or the proper expert, anytime your signature is required on anything that will govern your obligations. Help is especially important when significant amounts of money are involved or if the contract binds you for the future.
