Three principles of choosing lawyers and their investigation strategies
What kind of lawyer can solve the legal problems he meets? How to choose and inspect lawyers who are suitable for their own cases? In addition to the lawyer's personality, sense of responsibility, work norms and other basic qualities, we can focus on the following three principles to conduct a comprehensive inspection:
First, peers in the field of practice.
Legally speaking, the types and scope of cases handled by lawyers are unlimited. However, in view of the numerous existing laws, which are not regularly revised, different types of cases are also very different, and the requirements for lawyers' practice skills are also different. It is impossible for any lawyer to master everything and "cure all diseases". There are professions, and excellent lawyers choose their own practice fields, some choose criminal fields, some choose marriage fields, and so on.
When choosing a lawyer, you should choose a lawyer whose practice field corresponds to the case field. Just like choosing a doctor, internal medicine chooses internal medicine and surgery chooses surgery. Lawyers in the field of practice have a more comprehensive and detailed understanding of the laws applicable to the case, a more accurate and in-place application of the laws applicable to the case, a more comprehensive and thorough understanding of the judicial practice in the field where the case is located, and most importantly, a more professional and skilled practice skill required for handling the case.
Investigation strategy: To understand the lawyer's practice field and concentration, you can refer to the cases he has handled in the past three years. The fewer fields lawyers practice, the higher the degree of specialization. In recent years, a few lawyers with only one practice field have appeared in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places, and even a few law firms with only one practice field have appeared in Beijing.
? Second, rich practical experience.
Looking for a lawyer is to handle a case, not to sit and talk, and the practical ability of a lawyer is particularly critical. Law is the product of experience. A law student who has received at least four years of systematic legal education can't handle even the simplest divorce case well, not because he has no legal knowledge, but because he lacks practical ability. The formation of practical operation ability is a process of precipitation, which is the embodiment of continuous practical experience in handling cases. Practical experience is formed and enriched through accumulation and reflection. When it is enriched to a certain extent, it will form mature operating procedures, working standards and standard documents.
When choosing a lawyer, you should choose an experienced lawyer. Practice makes perfect, which means the value of experience. Lawyers with rich practice experience not only have more comprehensive practice skills, but also have higher judgment, foresight and coping ability, and can respond to any situation in the process of handling cases in a timely and effective manner.
Investigation strategy: Understanding the lawyer's practice experience can be understood from two aspects: mainly looking at the lawyer's successful cases. There are many successful cases of lawyers in a certain field, which shows that the operation mode of lawyers in this field is effective, and their practice skills are trustworthy, which can prove his rich experience. Through understanding the successful cases, we can also understand the information of lawyers' working attitude, which is the most effective way to fully understand lawyers. Secondly, the lawyer's practice years in a certain field. The number of years of practice is not equal to the number of years of practice experience, but it can only explain the lawyer's practice experience to a certain extent. But if you have less than five years of experience, it is hard to say that you are experienced.
Third, in-depth professional research.
Lawyers in the same practice field often have different case handling effects, because there are differences in case handling. The root of the difference in handling cases lies in the difference in the professional research level of lawyers. Professional research here does not refer to academic research, but to systematically summarize and refine practical problems, especially professional skills, according to the forefront of criminal theory and judicial practice and combined with my long-term accumulated experience in handling cases.
? When choosing a lawyer, you should choose a lawyer who has in-depth research on the profession. Lawyers with in-depth professional research will have a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of the legal provisions, legal theory, judicial practice and even legislative trends in the field of practice, and their corresponding practice skills will be more mature, and they will be handy in handling cases, especially for some difficult and complicated cases.
Investigation strategy: The most direct way to understand the depth of lawyers' professional research is to investigate the quantity and quality of lawyers' professional research achievements in their practice fields, mainly in business research articles, case review articles and even works. Through these professional writings, we can understand the professional ability and research depth of lawyers, as well as the experience and ability to deal with complex cases.
The result of the case is related to the property and rights of the parties, even to the freedom and even life of the parties. Once there is any mistake, it will be an irreparable lifelong regret. Whether you are looking for a lawyer online or through the introduction of acquaintances, you can investigate through the above three principles, so as to choose a lawyer who is suitable for the case and can solve the problem.
