This belongs to the normal consulting and business scope, which is of course possible and even necessary. Lawyers should introduce the basic situation of the case to the client, explain the judicial process and matters needing attention of the case, and analyze the difficulty of representing the case. But lawyers should not guarantee the representation of the case (this case will definitely win), but in real life, lawyers may feel that the client lacks basic legal knowledge and does not take the initiative to communicate with the client. Strictly speaking, it shouldn't be like this.
Matters needing attention in hiring a lawyer are as follows:
1. If you encounter legal problems, you should hire a lawyer in time. On the one hand, lawyers will collect and fix evidence in favor of the parties in time according to the needs of the case; On the other hand, lawyers can help the parties to take effective legal measures in time to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
2. The law firm where the lawyer is located shall also have the practice license issued by the judicial department (bureau) of the province or municipality directly under the central government, and have the annual examination record of the current year. Without a license or certificate, but without the annual examination record of the current year, they may not practice in the name of lawyers.
3. The lawyer's professional ability and professional ethics are very important to the client.
4. Be careful not to hire a "three guarantees" lawyer. Litigation itself is a risky activity, and there is no absolute victory or defeat.
5. A lawyer shall sign a written agreement to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties.
Article 29 of the Lawyers Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) * * As a legal adviser, a lawyer shall, in accordance with the agreement, provide advice to the client on relevant legal issues, draft and review legal documents, participate in litigation, mediation or arbitration activities as an agent, handle other entrusted legal affairs, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the client. Article 30 A lawyer representing litigation legal affairs or non-litigation legal affairs shall safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of clients within the scope of entrustment. Article 31 When acting as a defender, a lawyer shall, according to facts and laws, put forward materials and opinions on acquittal, lighter punishment or reduction or exemption of criminal responsibility of criminal suspects and defendants, so as to protect the litigation rights and other legitimate rights and interests of criminal suspects and defendants. Article 32 A client may refuse his entrusted lawyer to continue to defend or represent him, and at the same time, he may entrust another lawyer to act as a defender or agent.
After accepting the entrustment, a lawyer shall not refuse to defend or represent without justifiable reasons. However, if the entrusted matter is illegal, the client uses the services provided by the lawyer to engage in illegal activities, or the client deliberately conceals important facts related to the case, the lawyer has the right to refuse to defend or represent him.
