Everyone knows how to find a lawyer. In fact, the law is closely related to our daily life, and many things in our life can be better solved by relying on the law. Let's see how to find a lawyer.
How to find a lawyer 1 You can directly find a lawyer in a law firm near the court, or you can contact a lawyer on various media platforms. Law firms are generally located near the court. If you are looking for a lawyer locally, you can look directly near the court.
In today's society, lawyers are often labeled with different labels, such as marriage lawyers, contract lawyers, criminal lawyers, civil lawyers and so on. Actually, finding a lawyer doesn't need to be so meticulous. Because the labels given to lawyers in society are actually not very accurate, because civil lawyers are also divorced by marriage, and civil lawyers will also fight marriage lawsuits when they fight civil lawsuits. Similarly, many criminal lawyers who act as defenders for criminal defendants will also engage in civil litigation.
Because if you want to become a lawyer, you must pass the national legal professional qualification examination, which is the so-called law examination. There are many subjects in the law exam, and you can't just learn a civil law or criminal law. Therefore, civil litigation can also be the defender of criminal cases.
If lawyers must be classified, they should be divided into litigation lawyers and non-litigation lawyers. A litigator is also a lawyer who usually refers to litigation. Non-litigation lawyers often face enterprises, doing some contract business, or due diligence, listing business and so on. Individuals or enterprises want to go to court, and the lawyers they seek are generally litigation lawyers.
The most direct way to find a litigator is to go near the court, because the court is the gathering place of law firms, which is also a manifestation of the principle of proximity. In first-tier or second-tier cities, there are some classifications for litigators.
Because there are many cases in first-tier or second-tier cities, lawyers can choose to specialize in one kind of business. Such as specializing in divorce proceedings, specializing in criminal defense, specializing in real estate disputes and so on. Therefore, in first-tier or second-tier cities, you can look for lawyers who specialize in a certain field according to your case type. But for some small cities, especially county towns, there are relatively few lawyers because there are few cases.
Lawyers in small cities must be a panacea and be proficient in all kinds of cases to survive. Therefore, looking for a lawyer in a small city does not need to find any professional field, because lawyers in small cities can do any kind of cases. Some people may doubt the professionalism of lawyers in small cities, but that is unnecessary. Because all lawyers have passed the legal professional qualification examination, and have gone through an internship period of about one and a half years, and most of them are unpaid.
And if you want to pass the legal professional qualification examination, even if you pass it once, you need to study hard for more than a year. But in fact, there are many people who haven't passed the legal professional qualification examination for three years and five years, and some even haven't passed the examination for ten consecutive years, and they are still playing. Therefore, a practicing lawyer should be in contact with the law for at least three years. This is why there are lawyers who can take any case.
Of course, finding a lawyer is not the way to find a law firm near the court. Now many lawyers have established their own self-media platforms, so many lawyers can also be searched on various short video social platforms.
In short, the way to find a lawyer can be offline or online.
How to find a lawyer II. How to find a lawyer
1. Whether it is an acquaintance society or a stranger society, it is best to introduce it through friends. Even if it is separated by hundreds of layers, it is worth a try. Of course, the first friend you find should be reliable and trustworthy. If you don't know or introduce yourself, then find a lawyer blogger you are familiar with and trust for a long time. Note that it is a lawyer blogger, not a legal blogger, or even a judge friend and blogger. He may finally say, it's best to hire a lawyer. No matter what kind of legal practitioner you are, from your point of view, what you trust and trust is not limited to lawyers.
2. Legal basis: Article 387 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).
Where a creditor needs security in order to ensure the realization of his creditor's rights in civil activities such as lending, buying and selling, he may establish a security interest in accordance with the provisions of this Law and other laws. If a third party provides a guarantee for the debtor to the creditor, it may require the debtor to provide a counter-guarantee. The provisions of this law and other laws shall apply to counter-guarantee.
2. How long will it take to sue after the lawyer's letter is received?
There is no necessary connection between receiving a lawyer's letter and being sued. Receiving a letter from a lawyer does not mean that you will be prosecuted. It depends on the other party's decision. If the other party sues, the court will send a copy of the complaint to the defendant. The people's court shall send a copy of the indictment to the defendant within five days from the date of filing the case, and the defendant shall submit a reply within fifteen days from the date of receipt.
How to find a lawyer 3 Why do you need a lawyer?
First of all, you should know that you don't need a lawyer only in court. Since you have never had a legal dispute, lawyers can handle all kinds of legal affairs for you and avoid all kinds of legal risks. Secondly, when you encounter legal problems, lawyers will use their rich professional knowledge and professional means to provide you with professional services, telling you what your rights and interests have been infringed, what you can do, what will happen, how to remedy and so on.
Finally, the purpose of looking for a lawyer is to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests, reduce losses and prevent problems before they happen. Legal affairs itself is a highly professional job. If you don't know the law, the litigation process and the legal procedure, you will not only miss the best opportunity to defend your rights, but also get twice the result with half the effort and spend more time, money and energy without better results. The lawyer's job is to help you find the best way to solve the problem through legal means, which can not only seize the right time to protect rights, improve the efficiency of handling legal affairs, but also reduce litigation costs and reduce litigation.
What can a lawyer do for me?
Lawyers make a living by profession. Different professional lawyers need to deal with different things, and lawyers can do different things for you. You can talk to a lawyer about specific agency matters. But in general, no matter what legal problems you encounter, lawyers can help you do the following things:
1, litigating and representing cases;
2. Mediation, negotiation, contract review and lawyer witness;
3. Collect evidence materials (investigation and evidence collection);
4, writing contracts, complaints and other legal documents;
5. Send lawyers' letters and legal opinions;
6, as a government/individual/enterprise legal adviser;
How to tell whether a lawyer is reliable?
There are many lawyers. Different lawyers may handle the same case in different ways, which may also lead to different results. As a client, you can tell whether a lawyer is reliable in the following ways:
1. See the consultation replied by the lawyer.
Many lawyers will reply to inquiries on the website. Whether a lawyer takes legal advice seriously is also one of the measures to judge whether he/she is reliable. If the lawyer's reply to the consultation is to publicize his professionalism and advertise, and there is no substantive reply to the client's question, then it is necessary to reconsider this lawyer.
2. Read lawyers' columns, articles and successful cases.
Through the articles and columns written by lawyers and the analysis of cases, we can know whether lawyers have their own personal opinions, whether they have conducted serious research and exploration on related issues, and whether they have deep attainments in their own professional fields.
3. Check the cases undertaken by lawyers.
Now all the judgments can be found online. We can see where the lawyer's professional field is, how many similar cases he has undertaken, the winning rate of the cases he has undertaken, how many benefits he can win for the parties and how many losses he has reduced, and also know the defense reasons and evidence he collected in court.
4. Listen to the lawyer's opinions on the case.
Before entrusting, you can contact the lawyer by phone, listen to the lawyer's opinions on the case through simple conversation, and see if the lawyer can preliminarily judge the nature of the case and have a general strategy for safeguarding rights. This can roughly judge whether the lawyer is reliable.
5. Avoid the following misunderstandings:
(1) Hire a lawyer only by interpersonal relationship.
Lawyers can be introduced by acquaintances and friends, but as a party, you should pay more attention to the lawyer's knowledge, ability, experience, professionalism and professional ethics, so this must be investigated and judged by yourself, and it cannot be made up for human reasons. In this way, you often not only waste the lawyer's time, but also suffer heavy losses because the dispute is not resolved in time.
(2) The lower the lawyer's fee, the better.
The fees charged by lawyers are based on the market mechanism, and different law firms and lawyers report different fees. Everything pays attention to "value for money". To some extent, if you lower the standard of payment, lawyers can also lower the quality and standard of service.
(3) The more lawyers promise, the better.
Lawyers and clients want to bind each other, so they will ask each other to make some promises. In order to get the case, some lawyers hype and promise, but the final result is not satisfactory. Both parties can make a commitment, but the scope of the commitment should be limited to:
(1) For the parties, they can promise to guarantee the external conditions for lawyers to perform their duties, such as cooperation and fees;
(2) for lawyers, the main commitment is work attitude, service quality and professional ethics.
(4) Seek a lawyer after a dispute lawsuit.
When the dispute reaches the litigation stage, it means that the incident has basically reached the irreconcilable stage, and you must have spent a lot of energy, time and even money on it. In fact, lawyers not only engage in litigation, but also take preventive measures before disputes and problems occur, especially in business operation, investment, financing, restructuring, providing testimony and certification.
What kind of lawyer do I need?
Finding a lawyer is like buying shoes. Suitability is king! How can we judge whether a lawyer is suitable?
1, depending on the major.
Lawyers are a profession, just like doctors and teachers. Every lawyer has his own expertise, and no lawyer can do everything. If you encounter any legal problems, you should find a lawyer of the corresponding profession. Professional lawyers not only have a more comprehensive and detailed understanding of the laws in this field, but also have a more accurate grasp of cases and are more professional and skilled in handling cases, which can better safeguard your legitimate rights and interests.
2. It is inconvenient for the audience to communicate.
First, is the geographical distance convenient? There are professional lawyers in every place, so you don't have to go far to find a lawyer. Local lawyers have a natural advantage in this respect-they are familiar with the environment. Besides, for lawyers, time is money. If the distance is too far, you may have to bear more money pressure.
The second is to see if there are obstacles in communication with lawyers. Whether it's making friends, shopping or cooperation, whether the two sides hit it off and whether communication makes you comfortable is very important for our future communication.
How should I communicate with my lawyer?
Many people feel that they have committed great things when they meet people and things related to the law. Even if they communicate with lawyers, they will be very flustered, and their words will not convey their meaning, which will increase the communication cost, but in the end they will not get any effective information.
1, change your mind. First of all, in the face of lawyers, you don't need to panic and be afraid. A lawyer will help you deal with this problem.
2. Go straight to the point. When communicating with lawyers, don't drag things that have nothing to do with your problems or disputes. For lawyers, time is money, especially for lawyers who charge on time. If it is always irrelevant, the final cost will still be paid.
(1) Talk to the lawyer briefly about the problems he has encountered, briefly talk about his needs and the effect he wants to achieve, and then ask him to give his advice, from which you can judge the lawyer's professionalism, grasp the problem, whether he can be trusted, and so on.
(2) Don't talk about the price with the lawyer at the beginning, so as to avoid unnecessary contradictions caused by price negotiation or the estrangement between the lawyer and the case caused by counter-offer. When you finally decide to entrust this lawyer, you can start to talk about the entrustment contract, including attorney's fees, agency scope and so on.
