The first step: verification. Ask a lawyer not only to look at the other party's business card, but also not to blindly listen to others' introductions, but to look at the documents in person. Regular lawyers have lawyer qualification certificate and lawyer practice certificate, and lawyers with practice certificate can undertake cases. When verifying, it depends not only on whether the practice certificate belongs to the lawyer himself, but also on whether the certificate has passed the annual inspection and is still within the validity period.
Step 2: Please go to the office. Please ask the lawyer not to talk in the teahouse, but to go to the law firm. According to the regulations, a law firm should hang the "Practice License of Law Firm" (original) in a prominent position, and the parties must first recognize that they do not have this license. The entrustment contract shall be signed in the law firm as far as possible, and the payment must be made in the law firm. At the same time, you must ask for an official invoice stamped with the special seal for the property of the law firm and issued by the tax department.
Step 3: Don't hire a lawyer who beats his chest. If the lawyer comes into contact with you for the first time and doesn't know much about the case, you should be vigilant. Such a lawyer is definitely not a good lawyer!
