Generally speaking, it is not refundable to find a lawyer who loses the case. A lawyer who represents a client's legal affairs may receive remuneration according to the agreement, which has nothing to do with the outcome of the lawsuit, except the lawyer's risk agency.
What aspects should be paid attention to when looking for a lawyer to file a lawsuit:
1, see the law firm. A law firm is made up of lawyers. A good law firm must have good lawyers. The first consideration in hiring a lawyer is to find a good law firm.
2, look at the lawyer's reputation and lawyer's past performance. A good lawyer should have not only rich theoretical knowledge, but also valuable practical experience. Famous lawyers are trained in practice, so looking for a lawyer should find those who have handled major cases and achieved good results. However, well-known lawyers also ask high prices, and general cases are unwilling to accept them in person;
When you decide which lawyer to look for, you might as well contact the lawyer directly and know whether he is the lawyer you need during the conversation;
4. Before going through the entrustment formalities with the lawyer, it depends on whether the lawyer has a practice certificate issued by the Judicial Bureau to avoid being deceived;
5. Negotiate legal fees. When you decide which lawyer to entrust and the lawyer is willing to accept the entrustment, then negotiate the lawyer's fee. According to the provisions of the state, lawyers should charge fees from the parties when handling cases, and the state has no specific standards. General lawyers should negotiate with the parties;
6. After the lawyer and the parties reach an agreement through consultation, they shall go through the entrustment procedures, clarify the entrusted matters and the agency authority, and sign them by both parties, which is binding on both parties.
To sum up, according to industry practice, it is not refundable. Once the lawyer accepts the case and submits the relevant entrustment procedures to the court, the lawyer's work has already begun. No matter what form the case is finally closed, judgment or mediation or withdrawal of the case, no matter the outcome of the case is good or bad, the lawyer's fee will not be refunded. Unless the case is lost due to the fault of the attorney, the fee will be refunded or the liability for compensation will be assumed according to the seriousness of the case. In addition, at the beginning of the case, the lawyer and the parties agreed in the contract that it is also possible to refund the lawyer's agency fee if the lawsuit is subsequently withdrawn. In addition, the lawyer's fee is non-refundable.
