The lawyer's fee shall be paid by the party requesting the lawyer. However, in civil and commercial cases, when one party becomes the defendant, if a lawyer is hired to defend it and the plaintiff wins the case, he can ask the plaintiff to pay this fee.
Do I need a lawyer to go to court?
1, less controversial cases can be represented by lawyers.
Some cases can be won without a lawyer. However, not asking a lawyer to represent you does not mean that you don't need professional guidance from a lawyer.
2, the vast majority of cases without legal representation will definitely suffer.
Even seemingly simple arrears disputes, with IOUs or IOUs, often have a lot of troubles to solve. For example, the debtor's identity information (date of birth, domicile, address, contact telephone number) is unclear, the litigation jurisdiction, the limitation of litigation, the vague meaning of IOUs (IOUs, IOUs), the borrower's pen name, previous name or pseudonym, the definition of civil arrears and criminal fraud, the prosecution of a borrower or two couples, property preservation or compulsory prior assessment, etc.
3. The role of lawyers in case representation.
Lawyers can generally play the following roles in the process of case representation: comprehensively and systematically grasp the context of the case, design a rigorous, operable and forward-looking litigation plan, investigate and collect relevant favorable evidence, draft and modify relevant legal documents on their behalf, rationally use litigation skills in the trial process, put forward rebuttal opinions against the evidence and reasons of both parties to the dispute, improvise, find and collect relevant laws and regulations, and issue detailed, reasonable, well-founded and powerful agency opinions.
How to find a lawyer in a lawsuit
First of all, we must examine the qualifications. According to the Lawyers Law, a lawyer refers to a person who has obtained a lawyer's practice certificate according to law and provides legal services to the society. A person who has not obtained a lawyer's practice certificate shall not practice in the name of a lawyer, nor shall he engage in litigation agency or defense business for the purpose of seeking economic benefits. Therefore, when looking for a lawyer, the parties must examine the qualifications of the lawyer and see if they have a lawyer's practice license.
Second, we must understand the organization. A law firm is a lawyer's practice organization. Please ask the lawyer to go to the law firm to know the practice organization where the lawyer is located. Because the Lawyers Law stipulates that if a lawyer practices illegally or causes losses to his client due to his fault, his law firm shall be liable for compensation.
Third, we must sign the agreement. When hiring a lawyer, a written agreement should be signed to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. In particular, we should not take the cost of hiring a lawyer lightly. Be sure to make it clear how much the lawsuit will win or lose, and how much the first and second trials will cost respectively. We must make it clear in the agreement that we need a receipt when we pay.
In practice, litigation is very common. I hope everyone can learn more about this legal knowledge.
