The consulting fee for each lawyer is usually different. This is a very common problem, but it is difficult to find a reliable lawyer because of the natural information asymmetry in the legal service industry and the localization of some businesses (such as low-cost litigation). It is not always easy to find the right lawyer in a specific area and field and cooperate in business.
For the top investment banks on Wall Street, there are only a few laws that can meet their requirements, and it's almost the same for anyone.
For ordinary people, there are actually many lawyers to choose from, and the difference will be great. Graduated from a prestigious school of law, received legal training, and practiced for a long time. These are the plus factors for lawyers in most cases, but it does not mean that he is the best person to solve the problem.
The ways for the parties to find a reliable lawyer are:
Acquaintances were, are and will remain the main way for lawyers to take business and clients to find lawyers for a long time to come.
Whether it is a small lawyer in a private firm in a second-and third-tier city or a partner in a large law firm in a first-tier city, most cases are introduced by acquaintances. In fact, I suggest that everyone should ensure that they have a teacher friend, a doctor friend, a policeman friend, a gangster friend and a lawyer friend. They may not be familiar with it, but they can help a lot at a critical moment.
If you don't have any friends in this field, it is most reliable to ask your friends to introduce you. This friend is preferably a judicial officer (judicial bureau, court, procuratorate, notary office, etc.). ), or find a lawyer to fight a lawsuit for a friend, which is more useful and can be recommended. In the case of the main body, it is most reliable to find a lawyer through friends, have dinner several times, talk a few times, build trust and entrust an agent.
The reality is that excellent lawyers are not worried about the source of the case at all and lack the motivation to conduct online marketing, but with more and more young lawyers entering this industry, I hope the situation will improve.
2. Buy only expensive ones
It is the basic principle of market economy that you get what you pay for. It is natural that lawyers dare to charge high prices for themselves. Don't hesitate to go to the local law to see which lawyer is the most expensive. It must be right to find him. For example, a lawyer who specializes in bankruptcy cases in Wenzhou hangs a consulting fee of 1500 yuan/hour, but actually does not accept consulting at all. He said, "I can fight hundreds of thousands of lawsuits, and I am too busy to earn even this consulting fee." If you see a lawyer whose consulting price is high, but he doesn't actually have time to consult, then ask him if he is right. In short, don't buy the right one, just buy the expensive one!
3. Past cases
Now, all the books about the trial are online. If the lawyer has had any lawsuits before, you can check them on the "China Judgment Document Network". Enter the lawyer's name to see what lawsuits the lawyer has fought and what the verdict is. You can find it at a glance. It's easy. Especially in many difficult cases, if a lawyer has filed a lawsuit, many people will come to him after finding out. Traffic accidents are changeable. If you find that this lawyer or this law has handled hundreds of traffic accidents, don't hesitate, it is him.
4. Look at the exposure rate
Many news media will invite some lawyers to express their opinions. For example, one of my brothers was invited to Zhejiang and Taiwan as a special guest of the documentary column. His guest field is not necessarily what he is best at, but of course he knows. Looking for such a lawyer to file a lawsuit is somewhat secure.
