Before you decide to hire a lawyer, you need to know the background of the lawyer, especially whether the lawyer has any experience in representing similar cases involved by the client. First of all, communicate with lawyers by phone or WeChat, tell their own demands, listen to the preliminary analysis of lawyers, and judge whether they meet their expectations. ?
If there is further need, you can bring the necessary information to communicate with the lawyer face to face, and further judge the lawyer's experience, ability and litigation strategy. ?
You can add lawyers as WeChat friends, which can ensure that you can communicate closely with lawyers at any stage and let them know their views. ?

Ask a lawyer to avoid the gray trap.
1, entrust a lawyer to verify the authenticity of the certificate first?
When hiring an agent, you must carefully check whether the other party has a Lawyer's Practice Qualification Certificate through formal channels as far as possible, and pay attention to asking the other party for a bill stamped with the official seal of the law firm when paying fees.
If the client has no money to hire a lawyer due to poor economic conditions, he can also seek the help of legal aid agencies, which will provide free legal services. In addition, once really cheated by the "black intermediary", the parties concerned should promptly report to the judicial administrative department, the civil affairs department and the public security organ. ?
2. Don't be the shopkeeper for the risk agent?
For risk agency, in general, the principal does not need to pay the agency fee in advance, and the fee is paid by the agent in advance. After the case is won or executed, the lawyer will withdraw the remuneration according to a certain proportion of the winning object or the execution object. If the case is lost or the execution fails, the agent will not get any return. ?
For this kind of agency, the cases prohibited by Chinese laws are: criminal litigation cases, administrative litigation cases, state compensation cases, group litigation cases, and civil cases such as marriage, inheritance, compensation for work-related injuries, and request for payment of labor remuneration. However, some lawyers still use their clients' ignorance of the law to illegally sign risk agency contracts with clients in areas where the law clearly stipulates that risk agency business cannot be carried out, in order to seek additional benefits. ?
Even if it is not the case that the risk agency cannot be implemented, the parties should not blindly trust the lawyer when signing the risk agency contract and be the shopkeeper themselves, but need to communicate with the lawyer more and ask about the progress of the case regularly. ?
