Matters needing attention when looking for a lawyer:
First, try to go to the law firm. Only when you get to the law firm can you know the authenticity of this law firm and avoid being cheated.
Second, try to verify the lawyer's practice license, the lawyer pays, and the consumption is clear.
Third, we must sign a contract with a law firm. Only when there is a contract can there be a basis and service can be guaranteed.
Four, should pay fees to the law firm, put an end to the phenomenon of "only charge, not work" outside the law firm.
5. Believe in facts and laws, and never believe in the promise of "winning by hook or by crook". Lawyer service is embodied in the process of pursuing fairness and justice, and all the promises of "winning the case" may be fraud.
