1. What are the consultation processes for entrusting lawyers?
There are two processes in the process of entrusting a lawyer to consult: preliminary consultation and appointment for an interview with a lawyer.
1, preliminary negotiation and consultation
You can briefly explain the basic case on the phone first and answer the lawyer's inquiry concisely and clearly. Lawyers will make a preliminary analysis and judgment on the phone to discuss whether disputes must be litigated or whether lawyers must intervene.
2. If there is a need for litigation in life, then we need to hire a lawyer as the defender or agent of the case first, and then we need to go through a series of procedures.
After making an appointment with the lawyer, please bring all relevant materials and meet with the lawyer at the appointed time and place. You should check the lawyer's practice certificate of People's Republic of China (PRC) first to avoid being cheated.
After carefully reviewing the materials and asking about the basic case, the lawyer gave the following reply:
1, the basic legal relationship of the dispute, and whether the expected request has a legal basis.
2. Predict the theoretical legal consequences and litigation risks of the case, and require the signing of the risk notice of the entrusted law firm.
3. Inform lawyers of the items and standards of government guidance fees, and agree on the amount and payment method of legal service fees accordingly.
II. Fees for entrusted lawyers
Lawyer's fees refer to the fees spent by the parties in the process of prosecution or negotiation when a dispute occurs, that is, lawyer's fees. At this time, the lawyer's fee depends on the situation, and the lawyer's fee to be paid in different cases is different.
According to the Administrative Measures for Lawyers' Service Charges formulated by China, the lawyer's charging standard needs to comprehensively consider the factors such as the nature of the case, the time-consuming of the case, the difficulty of the case, and the risk responsibility that the lawyer may bear. According to the different service contents, three charging methods are adopted: piece-rate charging, proportional charging and hourly charging.
Under normal circumstances, law firms will set their own charging standards according to the government's legal service guidance prices, and will also divide them according to lawyers' experience and level. In other words, the more experienced, more advanced and more professional elite lawyers are, the higher their fees will be compared with ordinary lawyers.
The consultation process and fee standard of entrusted lawyers are shared with you above. The process is the same, charging according to the situation. Different cases need to pay different lawyer fees.
