It depends on the specific circumstances and cases. Just because a lawyer does nothing does not mean that he is irresponsible, because a lawyer acts according to procedures. If it is true that something is not done well, it is irresponsible. If there is indeed irresponsibility, you can complain to the Bar Association and report to the Judicial Bureau. It can also be resolved through litigation.
The role of lawyers:
First, lawyers are proficient in laws and regulations, including substantive law and procedural law, and have the ability to investigate cases. Not only that, lawyers have developed the habit of thinking from a legal point of view, and can properly link the specific cases in front of them with legal norms, put forward some objective and convincing claims through legal reasoning, and prompt them to the court in time.
Second, lawyers can organize arguments and evidence materials in favor of clients according to specific cases on the basis of knowledge of laws and regulations and legal reasoning ability, and conduct a logical and complete debate, which is not necessarily directly related to lawyers' beliefs or likes and dislikes.
Third, lawyers are familiar with legal practice, especially the practical affairs of litigation. To become an excellent lawyer, it is often after handling a large number of cases repeatedly that you gradually understand and master various procedural skills.
Fourth, as far as the connection with the case or dispute itself is concerned, the parties themselves are direct stakeholders, and often they can only look at the litigation from their own subjective standpoint.
Fifth, lawyers, as professionals, are subject to special ethical norms of professional groups.
The ways to deal with lawyers' failure to perform their duties are as follows:
1. You can terminate the entrustment relationship and find another lawyer.
2. If the entrustment relationship is terminated, the agency fee can be returned according to the refund standard of the entrustment contract.
3. If you are irresponsible, you can complain to the Judicial Bureau or the Bar Association. When a party complains about a law firm or lawyer, it shall prepare a written complaint and attach a copy of relevant evidential materials (such as agency contract, fee evidence, etc.). ) complain to the lawyer management department of the local judicial bureau and the lawyers' association (see annex for the address and telephone number of the local judicial bureaus and lawyers' associations) or by letter.
What lawyers can't do:
1. Accepting entrustment without permission, charging fees, accepting property or other benefits from the client.
2. After accepting the entrustment, he refuses to defend or represent without justifiable reasons, and does not appear in court on time to participate in litigation or arbitration.
3. Seek disputed rights and interests for the parties by providing legal services.
4. Revealing business secrets or personal privacy.
