Lawyer's fees are not directly related to winning or losing the lawsuit. The lawyer is hired to help you with the lawsuit. If you work, you must be paid, so you naturally have to pay the lawyer's fee. Before you hire a lawyer, you must have a contract, most of which are paid, so that a lawyer can help you with the lawsuit. More importantly, the cost ratio and the winning or losing cost can be agreed in the contract. If you agree, it can be handled according to the contract.
I lost the lawsuit. Do I need to pay a lawyer's fee?
Under normal circumstances, unless there is a consensus or legal aid cases, lawyers have to charge fees, because lawyers' professional ethics agreements cannot cover litigation, and lawyers provide legal services rather than results, so they cannot and cannot be completely linked to the final results.
In addition, if the law allows risk agency, fees can be negotiated after winning the case or meeting the requirements of the parties. But in general, this fee is higher than the normal standard, and some legal fees must be paid first, and the actual expenses such as legal fees and travel expenses are also borne by the parties.
If the lawsuit loses, how can the court enforce it?
After the legal documents come into effect, if one party fails to perform according to the effective legal documents, the other party may apply to the court for enforcement.
After filing a case for execution, the court will issue an enforcement notice to the person subjected to execution, requiring the person subjected to execution to perform within a time limit and informing him of the possible legal consequences of involuntary performance.
If the person subjected to execution fails to perform voluntarily within the time limit, the court may seal up, detain, freeze and auction the property of the person subjected to execution according to law, and take compulsory measures such as restricting high consumption and joining the list of people subjected to dishonesty as appropriate.
If the person subjected to execution has the ability to perform and refuses to perform, if the circumstances are serious, it constitutes a crime of refusing to perform the judgment or ruling, and criminal responsibility may be investigated according to law.
Preparation before hiring a lawyer
Before asking a lawyer to help with a lawsuit, the preparatory work that the parties should do mainly includes: sorting out all their relevant case materials so that the lawyer can gradually understand the case. In addition, when the parties engage a lawyer, they must also truthfully state the case to the lawyer and must not conceal, exaggerate or reduce it. They must truthfully state their own advantages and disadvantages so that lawyers can defend or represent according to law on the basis of a comprehensive understanding of the case.
In addition, for witnesses or other evidence materials that are inconvenient for you to find, you can provide the relevant information to the lawyer, and the lawyer will help you investigate and collect evidence.
As legal workers, lawyers must also strictly abide by the laws of the state and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the parties according to law. Therefore, as a party, when hiring a lawyer, you should not make unreasonable or illegal demands. A lawyer may refuse to accept the employment of a party who makes unreasonable or illegal demands.
If you lose the lawsuit, you can appeal with the help of a lawyer, or you can ask about the lawyer's fee.
