Subtext in the legal industry
01. Lawyer asked: Hello, who are you?
Subtext: Hurry up and give your name. I don’t know if I can hang up. Don’t waste my time. My time is precious.
02. The lawyer asked: What do you do?
Subtext: If you have something to say, don’t think about promoting litigation and property preservation in one second.
03. The lawyer asked: Where are you?
Subtext: Where are you? If it is not in our city, even if the subject is too small and the parties are too far away, the time cost will be too great.
04. Lawyer: How do you know me?
Subtext: It depends on whether it was introduced by an acquaintance or a friend. If so, at least give it some face and ask for a consultation fee!
05. The lawyer said: I generally don’t do this business
Subtext: I clearly refuse, but I still don’t want to be prostituted. Of course, it’s possible that I really won’t.
06. The lawyer said: Our consultation is chargeable
Subtext: I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense, and you still have a lot of unfinished work for paying customers. Pay the consultation fee and I will answer
07. Come to the law firm for an interview when you have time
Subtext: You can take the case, but I am afraid of being prostituted for phone consultation. Regarding the law, go to the law firm first Let’s see how it goes
08. Do you have time? >08. Please send me the case information first

10. The lawyer said: Success is not guaranteed
Subtext: The Lawyers Law stipulates this: The Lawyers Law stipulates this, but I really can’t guarantee it. Of course, there may be no hope of winning the case
11. The lawyer said: You can ask other lawyers
Subtext: Other lawyers are not as reasonable as me, and other lawyers are not as professional as me. It doesn’t matter if you ask, there are advantages to comparing. Or you just don't want to take the case.
12. The lawyer asked: Is this a personal case or a company case?
Subtext: Don’t accept it personally. If you have less money and too many things to do, you might not be satisfied.
13. The lawyer said: I don’t recommend you hire a lawyer.
Subtext: You are so powerful, why should you hire a lawyer? Don’t worry, if you mess up later, no matter how good a lawyer is, they can’t save you.
Lawyer No. 14 said: I don’t recommend you fight this lawsuit
Subtext: This lawsuit is really unwinnable. You might as well talk to the other party and see if it can be resolved through negotiation.
15. The lawyer said: We will not represent you in the second instance.
Subtext: Who told you not to have a lawyer in the first instance? What you say during the litigation process is like running water. It is difficult to take it back!

Subtext: It really doesn’t work, this is the lowest price...
