How to choose a lawyer? I believe many people face this problem to some extent when they need to hire a lawyer in a lawsuit.
As the saying goes, if you want to know the depth of the river, you must ask someone who has experienced it. Because of my work, I often help my friends and partners introduce lawyers and law firms, and the actual feedback results are quite good. I think I still have a little say. Therefore, on the one hand, I want to let everyone have a direction when choosing a lawyer, and on the other hand, I hope to influence the legal service industry and improve the overall level through my meager strength.
I think there are several points for attention when choosing a lawyer:
First, choose a special team lawyer to handle cases
Lawyers and doctors are very similar professions, and both need to pay attention to professionalism and cooperation. We will choose the corresponding department according to the symptoms of any illness. The same is true for lawyers, who need to choose a team of lawyers according to their majors. The reality is that most parties will not consider the professional direction of lawyers when choosing lawyers. There are hundreds of existing laws. At present, there are several big categories: criminal law, commercial law (company business), family law (marriage inheritance, etc.) and contract debt law (buying and selling loans, etc.).
Therefore, when choosing a law firm, it is best not to choose an integrated law firm, but to choose a law firm with a clear division of labor. In this way, even if each case is assigned to a lawyer, there will be a cooperative relationship between them, not a competitive relationship. Any difficult cases will be demonstrated within the team. The ultimate goal of a good lawyer team must be to achieve the client's request through various legal means.
Take Henglue Law Firm in the second part of this article as an example, which is divided into criminal defense team, land acquisition and demolition team, inheritance dispute team, marriage and family dispute team, traffic accident team, contract debt team and so on. I think this division of labor is reasonable.
Second, choose a law firm with a high success rate
At present, there are many law firms in the market, and each law firm has its own advantages. The most common way is through the size of the law firm to choose, but I think this is not a good way. The advantages of all the big ones, the strengths of all the small ones. At present, many large firms are only the collection of small teams, and some large firms and lawyers are simply affiliated, without unified management, and lawyers are essentially handling cases independently.
in my opinion, there is a data that is of great reference value when choosing a law firm, that is, the overall success rate of the firm. The following figure is a set of comparative data found by the author after searching data in many ways for your reference. The data shows that the success rate of Beijing Henglue Law Firm in Beijing area is relatively high. At present, the survey data of other regions have not been found.

Third, choose a lawyer who can talk to you in a good law firm
Choose a good law firm and a good team, and another important thing is to choose a suitable lawyer to handle the case.
Whether it is a criminal case or a civil case, legal service will be a long process. It takes half a year to a year for a criminal case to be filed, and the time limit for the first instance of a civil case is three months. In this process, it is necessary to communicate with lawyers repeatedly, because different people have different expressions and thinking habits, so we must find a lawyer who can talk to each other. Only by finding a lawyer who can talk with you can you communicate more smoothly. Communication is the prerequisite for the smooth progress of the case, and your intentions and purposes can be better understood by lawyers.
Finally, I'd like to give you some advice. I suggest reading more laws in your spare time. With the advancement of a society ruled by law, everyone should cultivate their own legal awareness, on the one hand, guide themselves what they can and cannot do. On the other hand, when you meet a problem, you won't be completely blind, and you also have certain ideas and clues.
