Can lawyers access personal information at will?

Can lawyers investigate personal information as follows:

1. If there is a case acceptance notice, the lawyer can retrieve the personal household registration information of the other party;

2, lawyers investigate and collect evidence, with the lawyer's practice certificate and law firm certificate, can investigate and undertake legal affairs to the relevant units or individuals;

3. Lawyers should keep confidential the relevant information and materials that their clients and others are unwilling to disclose in their practice activities. Lawyers have the right to inquire about personal information.

A lawyer can obtain the personal household registration information of the other party with the notification of case acceptance. Lawyers have the right to investigate and collect evidence by themselves, and only need "two certificates". When meeting a criminal suspect or defendant, you must have "three certificates" (lawyer's practice certificate, certificate of law firm, power of attorney or legal aid letter). However, although there are clear provisions in the law, it is generally difficult for lawyers to obtain evidence on their own, and defendants are often unwilling to cooperate. If criminal cases are involved, lawyers may have to bear their own personal risks.

The entrusted lawyer may, according to the needs of the case, apply to the people's procuratorate or the people's court to collect and obtain evidence or apply to the people's court to notify witnesses to testify in court. If a lawyer investigates and collects evidence by himself, he may, with the lawyer's practice certificate and the certificate of the law firm, investigate the situation related to undertaking legal affairs with the relevant units or individuals. Lawyers should keep confidential the relevant information and materials that their clients and others are unwilling to disclose in their practice activities.
