1. Recruit a lawyer promptly If you encounter legal problems, you should hire a lawyer promptly. On the one hand, lawyers will promptly collect and fix evidence that is beneficial to the parties according to the needs of the case; on the other hand, lawyers can help parties take effective legal measures in a timely manner to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of parties. Some parties have a sense of luck and are unwilling to hire a lawyer. They wait until the situation becomes irreversible before hiring a lawyer. At this time, the lawyer is often unable to do anything because the evidence is difficult to obtain or has been destroyed, or the statute of limitations has expired, or a specific litigation procedure has already entered. 2. Lawyers reviewing qualifications should hold a "Lawyer Practice Certificate" issued by the provincial or municipal level justice department (bureau), and have annual review records for that year. The law firm where the lawyer works should also have a practice license issued by the provincial or municipal level justice department (bureau) and have annual review records for that year. Those who do not have a license or have a license but have no annual review records for that year are not allowed to practice in the name of a lawyer. . Lawyer industry rules stipulate that in addition to the name of the law firm, lawyer's name, contact number, address, etc., a lawyer's business card must also print the lawyer's lawyer's practicing certificate number. If there is no practicing certificate number on the business card, please use the above method to confirm whether you have the qualification to practice law. Lawyer industry rules also stipulate that lawyer experience, professional and technical positions or other titles cannot appear on business cards. If the business card contains prohibited content, please identify it carefully to avoid being deceived. 3. Understand the organization First of all, the lawyer's professional ability and professional ethics are very important to the client. When investigating a lawyer, firstly, pay attention to the fact that during the interview with the lawyer, if the lawyer can understand the case in detail, analyze the key points and potential problems of the case, and point out a rough plan to solve the problem, such a lawyer can be considered for employment; secondly, It is important to realize that legal services embody social justice and legal fairness and have their own characteristics. Therefore, lawyers' professional ethics are very important. A responsible and professional lawyer will usually carefully inquire and understand the case, and will also carefully explain to the client the circumstances surrounding the signing of the lawyer's contract and the charging status, and give the client sufficient time to consider and make a choice. Secondly, a law firm is a practicing institution for lawyers. An orderly run and strictly managed law firm will have sufficient backup guarantees for the client's cases. Therefore, when hiring a lawyer, you should go to a law firm to learn about the lawyer's practice organization. Because the Lawyers Law stipulates that if a lawyer practices illegally or causes losses to a client due to his fault, the law firm where he works shall bear the liability for compensation. Between the lawyer and the law firm where he works, the client should first consider the situation of the lawyer, that is, the specific person handling the case, and the choice of the lawyer handling the case is the most important. Therefore, the client can request the law firm to appoint a lawyer designated by him to represent him in the lawsuit. 4. Doubt the promise. First, be careful not to hire a three-guarantee lawyer who pats your chest. Litigation itself is an extremely risky activity, and there is no absolute victory or defeat. Second, be careful not to hire a relationship lawyer. Most judges are decent people and will not risk their jobs with you just because of relationships or petty favors. 5. Sign an Agreement When hiring a lawyer, you must sign a written agreement to clearly define the rights and obligations of both parties. First, don’t be careless about the fees for hiring a lawyer. Be sure to state how much the first-instance and second-instance fees are, and ask for an invoice when making payment. Second, authorization should be clear. Some parties do not clearly understand the scope of authorization when hiring a lawyer. Who knows, but the authorizer will be held responsible for the legal consequences of unclear authorization. 6. Pay carefully. Some clients believe in the lawyer's words and don't care as long as the lawyer asks for money. They are especially generous with the lawyer's fees for activities such as treating the case handler to dinner and finding someone to smooth the relationship. They often spend all their money. . Once Fang Dameng woke up after losing the lawsuit, he immediately said that he had been fooled and regretted it. Therefore, so-called activity fees other than legitimate fees that should be charged according to regulations must be rejected. 7. Understand lawyers. Lawyers are independent of their clients and can only help their clients within the scope of the law and to the best of their ability. Don’t place all your hopes on lawyers, especially under the current reality that our country has not yet been able to eradicate the illegal legal environment in which litigation means fighting for relationships.
