3. How to choose the right lawyer
1. Years of practice and background are the first conditions for choosing a lawyer. The more experienced a lawyer is, the stronger his ability is.
2. The scope of lawyer's practice depends on whether the legal dispute scope of lawyer's service meets your needs.
3. The relationship between lawyers and courts. This is very important. Some lawyers can often complete the relevant procedures of the case with a few phone calls. Lawyers know very well from experience what they can do and which phone to call.
4. Choose a lawyer according to your own subject. Lawyer is a profession that needs to write a complaint, analyze legal provisions and appear in court. If the subject matter is relatively large, you need to compare the services provided by lawyers and choose the lawyer that suits you best.
