In addition, as litigation agents, lawyers are more convenient than ordinary citizens in investigating and collecting evidence, reviewing files, and participating in litigation activities, which is conducive to the handling of cases.
After accepting entrustment for litigation, a lawyer shall appear in court to participate in the litigation, participate in court investigations and court debates, and state opinions and requirements in accordance with the law. Acting as a defender in criminal proceedings in accordance with the law can protect the legitimate rights and interests of the defendant, allowing the people's court to hear opinions favorable to the defendant from the defense and make a correct judgment. In civil and administrative litigation, lawyers are hired as litigation agents. They rely on their proficiency in the law to perform litigation actions on behalf of the parties. They can also grasp the key points in court trials and open the door to effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties.
In our real life, the lawyer's remuneration needs to be negotiated and determined with the client, and then a power of attorney is signed, but the lawyer's remuneration is generally borne by the client. Currently, in many litigation activities, plaintiffs claim that attorney fees should be borne by the losing party, but many local people's courts do not support this claim.
