How to find a lawyer
How to find a lawyer, we all know well, in fact, the law is closely related to our daily life, and in our life a lot of things are can rely on the law to help us better solve, in order to come down to see how to look for a lawyer.
How to find a lawyer1Finding a lawyer can be done directly to the court near the law firms, but also in all kinds of self-media platforms to contact the lawyer. Law firms usually open near the courthouse, so if you are looking for a lawyer in your local area just look directly near the courthouse.
Today's society tends to set lawyers into different labels, such as matrimonial lawyers, contract lawyers, criminal lawyers, civil lawyers and so on. In fact, looking for a lawyer does not need to be so fine-tuned. Because the society to the lawyers set the label is actually not very accurate, because civil lawyers are also marriage divorce, civil lawyers who fight civil lawsuits will also fight marriage lawsuits. Similarly, many of the criminal lawyers who work as advocates for criminal defendants also work on civil lawsuits.
Because to be a lawyer, you have to pass the National Legal Profession Qualification Examination (NLPE), also known as the LSAT. The subjects of the law examination are very diverse, and not just a single study of civil law or criminal law can pass. Therefore, a civil lawsuit can also be a criminal case defender.
If you have to categorize lawyers, you should use both litigation lawyers and non-litigation lawyers to categorize. Litigation lawyers are also commonly referred to as lawyers who fight lawsuits. The non-litigation lawyer is often oriented to the enterprise, do some contract business, or due diligence, listing business and so on. If you are looking for a lawyer for an individual or a business that wants to file a lawsuit, the lawyer you are looking for is usually a litigation lawyer.
The most direct way to find a litigation attorney is to go to the neighborhood of the courthouse, where law firms are located, which is a reflection of the principle of proximity. There are a number of categorizations that exist for litigation lawyers in Tier 1 or Tier 2 cities.
Because there are more cases in Tier 1 or Tier 2 cities, lawyers can choose to specialize in one type of business. Such as specializing in divorce lawsuits, specializing in criminal defense, specializing in real estate disputes, and so on. So in the first-tier or second-tier cities can be for the type of their cases, to find a lawyer specializing in a particular area. But for some small cities, especially in the county, due to fewer cases, lawyers are relatively few.
A lawyer in a small city must be a jack of all trades and master of all kinds of cases to survive. So if you are looking for a lawyer in a small city, you don't need to look for any area of specialization, because lawyers in small cities can do all kinds of cases. Some people may have doubts about the specialization of small city attorneys in the jack of all trades category, but that is not necessary. Because all lawyers have passed the legal professional qualification examination, and go through a year and a half or so of internship, and most of the internship period is not paid.
And want to pass the legal qualification exam, even if the one-time on the pass, also need to go through more than a year of hard learning. But in fact, the legal professional qualification examination, preparation for three years and five years do not pass a large number of people, and even some people consecutive exams for ten years do not pass, still continue to fight. So a precisely practicing lawyers, exposure to the law for at least three years. This is why there will be a million gold oil category of lawyers who can take any case.
Of course, finding a lawyer is not the only way to find a law firm near the courthouse. Many lawyers now have their own self-publishing platforms, so you can search for many lawyers on various short-form social media platforms as well.
In short, the way to find a lawyer can be both offline and online.

What legal problems encountered to find the corresponding professional lawyer. Specialized counterparts of the lawyer not only to the field of law to understand more comprehensive and detailed, more accurate grasp of the case in place, the case is more professional and skillful, but also more able to safeguard your legitimate rights and interests.
2, look at the party is not convenient to communicate
First, the area distance is not convenient, each place has a professional lawyer, looking for lawyers do not need to travel far and wide, the local lawyers in the region has a natural advantage - familiar with the environment. And, for lawyers, time is money, distance is too far, you may also need to bear more money pressure.
