You would usually seek the advice of any professional, whether it be a lawyer, doctor or accountant, when you need the services and expertise that only a trained professional can supply.
You can think of your legal needs much like you do your medical needs. There are times when you can take care of small ailments with over-the-counter medicines and home remedies. But there are other times when you need the skills of a surgeon or other specialist to help you with your problem. The law works much the same way.
