Do you need a lawyer for the lawsuit?

Under normal circumstances, if only a civil lawsuit is filed, there is no need for a lawyer, and the parties have the right to appeal, that is, they can file a lawsuit themselves. But if you ask a lawyer to help you with your lawsuit, you can save time, and the lawyer can try his best to safeguard your interests. In civil litigation, if you know the law, you don't need to hire a lawyer. Otherwise, it is suggested that the entrusted agent is the litigation right of the parties, whether it is civil, administrative or criminal proceedings. Since it is a right, the parties may or may not exercise it, so as long as the parties feel that they can handle the whole lawsuit, of course, they don't need a lawyer to go to court. Article 52 of the Civil Procedure Law stipulates that the parties have the right to entrust an agent, apply for withdrawal, collect and provide evidence, argue, request mediation, file an appeal and apply for enforcement. The parties may consult the relevant materials of this case and copy the relevant materials and legal documents of this case. The scope and methods of consulting and copying relevant materials in this case shall be stipulated by the Supreme People's Court. The parties must exercise their litigation rights in accordance with the law, abide by the litigation order, and perform legally effective judgments, rulings and conciliation statements. Article 33 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that a criminal suspect or defendant may entrust one or two persons as defenders in addition to exercising the right of defense. The following persons may be entrusted as defenders: (1) lawyers; (2) A person recommended by a people's organization or the unit to which the criminal suspect or defendant belongs; (3) Guardians, relatives and friends of criminal suspects and defendants. A person who has been sentenced to punishment according to law or deprived of or restricted personal freedom shall not act as a defender. A person who has been dismissed from public office or has his lawyer's or notary's practice certificate revoked may not act as a defender, except the guardian or near relative of the criminal suspect or defendant.
