Unfortunately, there's not one type of lawyer that can handle all cases dealing with any aspect of the law. Read this slideshare to learn what some of the most common types of lawyers are!

1. 8 Types of Lawyers
Several types of lawyers are needed to handle different aspects of the
law!

2. 1. Criminal Defense
• Criminal defense lawyers defend people accused of
committing crimes like shoplifting, DUI, assault and
battery, and even murder. Their goal is to reduce the
defendant’s sentence or help them stay out of jail.

3. 2. Personal Injury
• Personal injury lawyers
help people that have
been injured (at no fault
of their own) get fair
financial settlements.
• Their injuries are
usually a result of the
following:
• Car accident
• Bad side effect from
prescription drug
• Defective product
• Misdiagnosed illness

4. 3. Bankruptcy
• The basic role of a bankruptcy attorney is to help
people file for bankruptcy or to help them work
through bankruptcy so they can get out of debt.

5. 4. Corporate
• Corporate lawyers (aka business lawyers) deal with
things like intellectual property and mergers and
acquisitions, but they can also help startup
businesses and even large enterprises find more
growth.

6. 5. Family
• Family lawyers usually deal with divorce, custody
battles, prenuptial agreements, and other issues
regarding marriage and children.

7. 6. Estate Planning
• Estate planning lawyers ensure your family dealings
are in order (like creating trust funds for college or
drafting a will) in case something goes wrong.

8. 7. Employment
• Employment lawyers
handle cases that
revolve around the
following:
• Termination of
employment
• Workers’ compensation
• Sexual harassment
• Workplace safety
• Wage and overtime
standards

9. 8. Immigration

with bringing a family member, employee, or any
other individual into the United States from another
country.
