Is it possible to consult without filing a lawsuit? If so, what are the general charging standards? There are too many ways to consult on legal issues. You can log in to the relevant legal consultation, or go to other relevant places in Jingshi for consultation. Of course, this is usually There is a consultation fee.

The consulting fee is usually per law, and the standards of each lawyer are inconsistent. This is a very common problem, but due to the natural information asymmetry in the legal service industry and the localization of certain businesses (such as litigation with low amounts), it is quite difficult to find a reliable lawyer. It is not always easy to find the right lawyer to work with in a specific area and in a specific field.

For the top investment banks on Wall Street, there are only a few major firms that can meet their requirements, and the choices are pretty much the same.

For ordinary people, there are actually many lawyers to choose from, and the differences will be very big. Graduating from a prestigious law school, being trained in law, and having practiced law for a long time are plus factors for a lawyer in most cases, but it does not mean that he is the best person to solve the problem.

The ways for clients to find reliable lawyers are:

Introductions from acquaintances were, are, and will remain the main way for lawyers to receive business and for clients to find lawyers for a long time to come.

Whether you are a small lawyer in a private firm in a second- or third-tier city or a partner in a large law firm in a first-tier city, most cases come from referrals from acquaintances. In fact, I suggest that everyone should ensure that they have a teacher friend, a doctor friend, a police friend, a gangster friend and a lawyer friend by their side. They may not be familiar with each other, but they can be of great help at critical moments.

If you don’t have friends in this field, then it is most reliable to ask your friends to help introduce you. It is best if this friend is a judicial officer (judicial bureau, court, procuratorate, notary office, etc.) , or a friend has gone through a lawsuit with a lawyer himself, and has personally tested it and it works well, so he can recommend it. Based on the situation of the subject, it is most reliable to find a lawyer through a friend, have a few meals, talk a few times, build trust, and entrust an agent.

The actual situation is that excellent lawyers have no worries about the source of their cases and lack the motivation to engage in online marketing. However, as more and more young lawyers enter this industry, I hope the situation will improve.

2. Only buy expensive ones

You get what you pay for. This is the basic principle of market economy. If a lawyer dares to charge a high price for himself, he has his own reasons. Rich friends, don’t hesitate to go to the local law firm to see which lawyer charges the most for consultation. It is definitely right to go to him. For example, a lawyer in Wenzhou who specializes in bankruptcy cases advertises a consulting fee of 1,500 yuan per hour, but in fact he does not accept consultation at all. He said: "I can file a lawsuit for hundreds of thousands, but I am too busy." There is no time to earn this consulting fee. "If you see a lawyer charging a very high price for consultation, but you don't actually have time to receive consultation, then you should go to him. In a word, don’t buy the right one, only buy the expensive one!

3. Past cases

Nowadays, all judgments and judgments are online. You can find out what lawsuits a lawyer has fought before on the "China Judgment Documents Network". Enter your name to see what lawsuits this lawyer has fought and what the verdict was. You can easily find out with just one search. Especially in many difficult cases, if a lawyer has fought a lawsuit, many people will come to him after finding out. Traffic accidents are very streamlined. If you find this lawyer or this law firm that has handled hundreds or thousands of traffic accident cases, then don’t hesitate, it’s him.

4. Look at the exposure rate

Many news media will invite some lawyers to express their opinions. For example, one of my senior brothers was invited to be a guest of Zhejiang TV station to make a special report for the "Documentary" column. Invite guests. The field in which he is a guest may not be what he is best at, but he certainly understands it. Finding such a lawyer to litigate a lawsuit is somewhat guaranteed.
