When litigants litigate, they may want to hire a person involved in the law to act as an agent or defender to put themselves in a favorable position in the litigation. However, how to hire legal professionals? This is also a science.
Qualification review. The law stipulates that persons involved in law and litigation refer to persons who have obtained lawyer qualifications and provide legal services to the society.
Persons who have not obtained a practicing certificate for persons involved in law and litigation shall not practice in the name of persons involved in law and litigation, and shall not engage in litigation agency or defense business for the purpose of seeking economic benefits.
Therefore, when the parties hire persons involved in law and litigation, they must examine the qualifications of the personnel involved in law and litigation and whether they have a practicing certificate for persons involved in law and litigation.
Understand the organization. A good institution is a practice institution for people involved in law and litigation. When hiring people involved in law and litigation, you must go to a good institution to understand the situation of the practice institution where the people involved in law and litigation work.
Because the law has provisions for persons involved in law and litigation, if a person involved in law or litigation practices illegally or causes losses to a party due to his fault, he or she shall bear the liability for compensation.
Sign the agreement. When hiring personnel involved in law and litigation, a written agreement must be signed to clearly stipulate the rights and obligations of both parties. In particular, the cost of hiring personnel involved in law and litigation must not be careless. It must be clear how much it costs to win a lawsuit and how much it will cost to lose;
The fees for the first instance and the second instance must be clearly stated in the agreement, and a receipt must be issued when making payment.
Authorization is clear. Some parties have filled out a power of attorney when hiring legal personnel, but the authorization is unclear. They believe that as long as the money is handed over to the people involved in the law and litigation, everything will be handled by the people involved in the law and litigation.
As a result, some parties do not appear in court at all, do not understand the progress of the case, and do not know the outcome of the case. As everyone knows, the authorizer is responsible for the legal consequences arising from unclear authorization.
Pay carefully. Some parties have no doubts about the words of people involved in the law and litigation, and are dismissive of the people involved in the law and litigation asking for money. After losing the first instance, the legal personnel wanted to appeal. Without thinking, he paid the appeal fees one by one, and then paid the fees for hiring the legal personnel, without feeling any distress at all.
In particular, they are generous and often spend all their money on social activities such as treating the case handlers to dinner and finding people to smooth relationships proposed by law-related personnel. Once the lawsuit is lost, the parties involved suddenly realize that they have taken the bait and regret it.
Therefore, the request of persons involved in the law to charge so-called activity fees in addition to legal fees in accordance with regulations must be rejected.
