So how can we find a reliable lawyer?
First, go to a regular law firm.
Where is the lawyer? It must be a law firm. If you can't find a law firm, you can open the map in your mobile phone, enter the law firm, and it will be pushed to a law firm near you. Admittedly, there are different levels of lawyers, but real lawyers can be found in law firms.
Share my client's experience in finding a lawyer. At the first stop, he went to an office with two tables and several people. After simple communication, he didn't feel very well. In the words of customers, TV shows are not like this. So he planned to visit more often, and later came to our law firm. After communication, he handled the entrustment. Later, this customer said that he thought we were doing something more formal and felt a bit like TV.
So you should choose a regular law firm. The unified brand of law firm is a certain law firm. If it is not this name, it may be other legal service agencies.
Second, look at the lawyer's practice license.
If you are in a law firm, you don't have to look at the practice license, but if you look at the advice you encounter online, every lawyer has his own practice license number, which can be found in the Ministry of Justice and is for the record. And if it's vx, most lawyers use the name lawyer. It is very strict that you are not allowed to call yourself a lawyer without a practice license. For example, a trainee lawyer, to be exact, is a lawyer's practice trainee and cannot be called a lawyer. Although we can call it that, strictly speaking, we can't.
Third, reliable lawyers don't charge privately.
During the whole consultation or case discussion, lawyers can't charge fees, and the agency fees are charged by the law firm. When handling the entrustment, a customer often says to give you the money directly. I will tell him clearly that our lawyer will not touch the money, and the agency fee will be paid to the account of the law firm. Including the paid consulting clients of our little red book, I sent the collection code of the law firm.
Fourth, reliable lawyers do not promise the outcome of the case.
This is the most concerned issue for many parties. Can I win this lawsuit? Lawyers' professional ethics clearly require lawyers not to promise the outcome of the case. This is a responsibility to customers. Before the trial, lawyers only contact their clients and collect evidence by themselves. It is irresponsible to make a promise without knowing each other. However, lawyers will use the evidence in their hands to fight for the greatest legitimate rights and interests of the parties.
In Xiaohongshu, people often ask me how the case is and whether I can win. After reading the evidence, you are not allowed to promise the result. If it is even more impossible to analyze the case based on your simple personal description, I can only tell you the relevant laws and regulations. As for analyzing the case, I charge myself, because I want to systematically look at every piece of your evidence and make an analysis and judgment. This process may take me half a day or a day. Lawyers provide legal services and our time is money. I can't help you analyze the case comprehensively for free, and my time doesn't allow.
Finally, I want to say that free is the most expensive. Sometimes the case is not big and you don't want to find a lawyer. You can pay a consulting fee to ask a lawyer to help you analyze the case, clarify your demands, sort out the evidence, make a list of evidence, and take these to court, and the interest will be higher.
Don't think that a lawyer who doesn't promise to win is incompetent. This is responsible for you. Some lawyers will even discourage clients, and no one wants money delivered to their doors, but lawyers will clearly tell them that the chances are extremely low.
