Study Reveals Georgia Low Income Earners Face Legal Woes
By Christine Cristiano
07/01/2009
According to a study released by The Georgia Bar Association, sixty percent of Georgia's residents with low to moderate incomes will require advice related to civil legal problems, such as foreclosures or divorce proceedings, at least once annually. However the majority will not seek proper legal counsel and will try to resolve the issue on their own. The study also revealed that consumer problems including housing, health, family law, employment and 'abusive' contract terms were the most common legal problems.
According the study, 90 percent of 1500 respondents did not obtain legal help for their legal issues, 75 percent tried to solve the problem themselves, 16 percent did not seek legal advice nor tried to solve the problem on their own.
