In the last 24 months, was there any occurrence you felt would have been better for you with an attorney involved?

Based off this question, it made me think of how many times a week, moth, year, a situation shows up where you don’t know if you needed an attorney, or it what was done to you was illegal, etc. Whom can you turn to? As with the OP of that question, she got a lot of advice, but was it the correct advice? You buy a gift for Christmas and you never get it. The company says they shipped it, have paperwork and all, tracking number said it was delivered, but you swear it wasn’t. You were on vacation time and home the whole day it was supposedly delivered. They won’t refund you, or send you another, what can you do, and who would you turn to? What can you do about a valet who damages your car, but the restaurant say your damage was on the car before you came there to eat? In the past two years, how many incidents have you had where you felt you would have had a better outcome if you had an attorney speaking for you, or you would have liked to consult with one?
