Second, how to avoid risks by hiring lawyers?
1. hire a lawyer in time. In this way, lawyers can not only collect and fix evidence in favor of the parties in time according to the needs of the case, but also take effective countermeasures quickly to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the parties. Some parties are lucky when they encounter legal difficulties, and when the situation worsens, they will hire a lawyer again. At this time, lawyers can do nothing, because the evidence is difficult to obtain or has been destroyed, or the statute of limitations has passed, or has entered a specific litigation procedure.
2. Choose a law firm and lawyers. Pay attention to check whether there is a law firm practice license issued by the provincial judicial administrative organ; Understand what is a lawyer's long-term experience and good professional quality; There are three kinds of lawyers: full-time, part-time and invited. The client should check whether the lawyer's practice certificate has passed the annual registration, and it is best to keep a copy of the lawyer's practice certificate for reporting to the judicial administrative department when he commits illegal acts. Whether named by himself or introduced by others, the parties concerned should go to the law firm to negotiate and handle the entrustment procedures.
3. Sign a standardized and perfect entrustment agreement. The parties shall sign an agency agreement (or contract) and a power of attorney with the lawyer. An agency agreement shall include the entrusted matters, the entrusted period, expenses, work requirements, liability for compensation, termination conditions, liability for breach of contract, etc. There are usually two kinds of agents: general agent and specially authorized agent. General agency refers to acting only for general litigation rights, such as the right to sue, the right to appeal, the right to apply for withdrawal, the right to provide evidence, the right to debate and so on. Special authorized agency refers to the litigation right agency closely related to the substantive rights, such as admitting, giving up, changing the litigation request of the principal, settling, filing a counterclaim or appealing on behalf of the principal. Therefore, when filling in the power of attorney, the parties should pay attention to the actual situation of the case and write clearly the agency authority. When granting the above-mentioned special authorization to the agent, the specific content of each special authorization shall be stated in order to prevent the agent from violating the true wishes of the parties and causing unnecessary losses.
4. Pay the lawyer's fees in time. The fees for lawyers to accept entrustment generally include agency fees, case handling fees and activity funds. The agency fee should be paid in installments, and the last installment should be paid at the end of the entrusted matter as far as possible to encourage lawyers to work actively. Case handling fees and activities can be reimbursed, and when the estimated amount is not large, it can be paid by contract. The agency fee shall be paid to the financial personnel of the law firm and an official invoice shall be issued.
5. Beware of "three guarantees" lawyers. At present, in order to get the source of the case, some lawyers violate professional ethics and irresponsibly promise the parties "three guarantees" (guarantee victory, guarantee release and guarantee innocence). Litigation itself is a risky activity, and there is no absolute result. The parties should be wary of this kind of "breast-slapping" lawyer, because "the lawsuit is to give evidence" and the "time" of the lawsuit should be placed on investigation and evidence collection. When necessary, the parties may sign a risk agency contract with a lawyer.
6. Ask for written legal advice. For the lawyer's agency opinions or work situation, the parties may require written legal opinions or agency work reports, not limited to oral explanations. If a lawyer is dissatisfied with the service quality, fails to act according to the entrustment agreement or causes losses due to work mistakes, the parties concerned may complain to the local judicial bureau or the lawyers' association and ask them to bear legal responsibilities such as compensation.
