How can I hire a good lawyer?

How to hire a satisfactory lawyer when encountering a dispute?

In life and work, it is inevitable that we will encounter some legal disputes. When these disputes cannot be resolved, we need to resolve them through judicial channels. Then a question arises, how to invite a legal dispute? The right lawyer? Many people take it for granted that they can hire a famous lawyer or an experienced lawyer at a high price. Can they definitely hire a good lawyer by paying a high price? In fact, a lot of money is easy to scatter, but a general is hard to find! Paying a high price may not necessarily lead to a good lawyer, and a lawyer with a medium or low price may not be a good lawyer. Today, I will introduce to you the status of the industry so that you can make no mistakes when choosing a lawyer.

1. When hiring a lawyer, you must hire a professional lawyer.

The first thing to do when looking for a lawyer is to understand whether the lawyer has a specialty and what is the lawyer's specialty? Why is professionalism so important? Comprehensive lawyers have four major disadvantages compared with specialist lawyers.

1. The legal provisions are many and complicated, and it is difficult for lawyers to master them all. Every time a comprehensive lawyer handles a case, he has to learn it again, but he simply does not have that much energy to thoroughly understand every business.

2. Professional experience is the perception formed in actual combat. Comprehensive lawyers lack professional experience and it is difficult to formulate perfect solutions.

3. In actual combat, many situations require adaptability. Without deep professional skills, it is difficult to perform freely.

4. There are many things that cannot be found in legal provisions, but are found out by lawyers during case handling. Lawyers in this profession understand it, but lawyers in another profession do not. Comprehensive lawyers have The in-depth things in each profession are only half-understood, and these things are often the essence of the lawyer's business.

There are four major differences between comprehensive lawyers and professional lawyers, which means that professional lawyers have four major advantages compared with comprehensive lawyers. There is a saying that there is a wall between professions and mountains. Although we are both lawyers and our majors are not as separated by mountains, there is at least a wall between them. This wall may be the wall that determines success or failure, so you don’t care how senior or famous the lawyer is. No matter how big it is, as long as the major is not right, you can’t choose.

2. Professional lawyers are not as good as professional teams.

In our industry, there is a famous saying that one person cannot succeed as a team. In addition to one's own qualifications and hard work, there is also a very important factor in the success of one person

Even the environment and who is behind him are also very important.

1. When a person handles a case, he or she is limited to his or her own knowledge. A professional team can brainstorm and find out and fill in the gaps, which can help form better solutions. . For example: A professional lawyer has thought up a case-handling plan. Do you know the shortcomings? I have a better plan, but I don’t know about it. I want to discuss it. My colleagues are not proficient in it. How can we discuss it? The so-called three stooges and one Zhuge Liang, the plan discussed by a team is self-evidently better than the plan thought by one person.

2. In addition to one's own efforts and qualifications, the environment is also very important for the growth of a lawyer. If you rely entirely on yourself to realize it, to be honest, it will be very long and very far away. ; And under the influence of a professional team environment, mutual cooperation, mutual encouragement, and mutual competition, coupled with the training of team experts and leaders, his knowledge structure and experience system cannot be matched by your individual lawyer.

3. In fact, individual lawyers do not have real professional lawyers. In comparison, the members of a team of lawyers are more professional. Due to lack of business, individual lawyers can It is no longer easy to achieve professionalism, and the legal team not only requires professionalism, but also achieves breakthroughs on the basis of professionalism. For example, at Wandian Law Firm, what we require is to be a professional lawyer among professional lawyers. You just It is not enough to achieve specialization, but to be sophisticated on the basis of specialization. Many times, lawyers’ unique insights and solutions are the key to solving problems. How to be unique is not to be unique for the sake of being different, but to solve the problem. Seeing things more accurately and thoroughly is impossible without a deep professional foundation and multiple practical experiences. The lawyers in the professional team all rely on the old lawyers to guide the new lawyers.

Therefore, everyone should remember that for ordinary cases, you can just find a professional individual lawyer, but for large and complex cases, you must rely on teamwork.

3. The lawyer team is not as good as the law firm team.

How to find the best team among many professional teams is also a question worth knowing.

There are several issues that everyone should pay attention to.

1. A large law firm may not necessarily be professional.

Many law firms are very large, but they don’t have a specialty that they can excel in. Why?

Large firms are generally law firms that were established earlier, and there was no major before. The concept of transformation is mostly that lawyers are affiliated with law firms and do their own business. There is a lack of organic cooperation between law firms and lawyers. After this model is formed, it is difficult to change and cannot be changed even if you want to. Why, interests are kidnapped, so many In order to achieve professionalism, lawyers in large firms have to form their own professional teams. The leading lawyer in the team pays their own wages, recruits their own people, and takes in business by themselves. Before 2014, when our law firm was not established, Lawyer Wang was myself. In this way,

Under this model, the law firm may be very large, but the professional team may not be large, and the team members may not be stable. Because the management is not vertical, the strength may not be very strong. The personality of the team leader has a lot to do with it.

2. A small law firm may be more professional.

Following what I just said, Lawyer Wang led a team in a large firm before 2014, but more and more

I feel more and more that in order to make this team bigger and stronger, we must establish our own team. law firm and establish its own law firm culture and mission. So we broke away from the embrace of our original employer and established our own law firm. We broke away from the big firm to form a small firm. To be honest, we had no choice but to do so. Only in this way can this team be transformed from a professional team into a professional law firm. In the end, many professional teams break away from large firms to form professional law firms. Therefore, small firms are often upgrades of professional teams, and most of the professional teams in large firms are the predecessors of professional law firms, and they must do well and do well. Unfortunately, he would not dare to leave a large firm to form a new law firm. Therefore, when choosing a team, it is necessary to have a proper understanding of the team's background and culture.

So generally speaking, a lawyer team is a case-handling team formed by individual lawyers, often attached to a large law firm; and when this team is strong enough, it will definitely break away from the law firm and form its own Law firms, so I say that a law firm team is the sublimation and goal of a lawyer team. Everyone must view the relationship between lawyers, professions, and law firms correctly, and do not blindly believe in big firms.

Fourth, distinguish between skill-based professional teams and marketing-based professional teams.

A skilled professional team takes the legal business as its core value; a marketing professional team takes marketing as its core value. Of course, a skilled team cannot do without marketing. It is impossible for a marketing team not to study the business. The key depends on the focus, but it is difficult to distinguish this. Lawyer Wang summarizes a few tips for you, you can learn from them:

1. From the perspective of team leaders, generally the team led by the person in charge of the legal profession is:

In a skill-based team, the leader of a skill-based team is often an expert lawyer and will have many successful cases. If the leader of the team is a marketing expert, the team will often focus on marketing. This type of leader generally has few success cases, or even one at all. No case is handled; as the saying goes, a team's culture and combat effectiveness have a lot to do with the personality, conduct, and personal abilities of the team leader.

Why I say this is because the lawyer team or law firm team is usually led by the person in charge. The boss is not responsible. Can the soldiers led by the team be held responsible? The boss is not very good at handling cases, can he bring out subordinates with strong professional abilities? There are no weak soldiers under strong generals, and strong soldiers will not follow weak generals. In our legal industry, business is always king. No matter how good you are in business, no matter how much money you make, if you are not good at handling cases, our colleagues will look down on you. To put it in layman's terms, I don’t hate you; but you are very good at handling cases. Even if you work alone and don’t make much money, when we mention your name, we have to give you a thumbs up. When we meet, I have to stretch out two hands to shake your hand. This is awe. feel! Why, business is king. In front of the real king, money cannot be said to have no meaning. It is of little significance. It is enough to have food, clothing and housing. There is no need to ask for too much. Money cannot represent anything. Being a lawyer, The sense of superiority brought by success in business can transcend everything.

Is Barrister Zhang Sizhi in our legal profession very rich? No, but lawyers don't respect him, so business bosses in all walks of life are definitely not very rich, because people who are proficient in business are often not good at management. Throughout the ages, there are countless examples. The poet Li Bai, the flying general Li Guang, the miracle doctor Hua Tuo... and so on. You see, the slow development of Wandian Law Firm has a lot to do with my inability to run it, because we are only proficient in business, not marketing. Just kidding... let’s continue with the topic.

2. Look at the team’s combat effectiveness from the perspective of team cases: Cases are products that can speak. Cases

can best reflect a lawyer’s work ability and sense of responsibility. Needless to say, work ability. Winning or losing a lawsuit can be directly reflected. However, heroes cannot be judged simply based on success or failure, because success or failure is also closely related to the case itself. Some cases may be destined to be unwinnable. Lawyers have to file them for the benefit of their clients. This often happens, for example, sometimes in order to obtain a certain amount of money. To obtain evidence and achieve a certain purpose, you may initiate a legal procedure even though you know you will lose the case, so we need to make a proper distinction here; in terms of responsibility, a good lawyer will often think a lot in order to realize the client's demands. What he provides is a solution to the problem; and an irresponsible lawyer often takes the procedure as the standard, follows a procedure to get the job done, and has already figured out how to get rid of the problem before he starts. In our industry, there is a small group of people. What they focus on is not how to improve the quality of business and how to make wonderful cases, but what are they comparing themselves to? Comparing who makes more money and does less work, or even who can get something for nothing; this unhealthy trend is more prevalent among some old lawyers. Some so-called big lawyers are not ashamed of this unfair thing, but are proud of it. , has had a great negative impact on the values ??of this industry, and even some young lawyers have begun to think this way. In the market economy environment, it should be said that there are such people in every industry, and the legal industry is no exception.

There is a news report: Something happened to a vice president of a certain city’s Intermediate People’s Court, and dozens of bribery lawyers were lured out. Look, there is a nest of snakes and rats, and some people’s thoughts are not for doing business. , but do some messy things. These people may be very profitable, but their business ability is probably not very good, because their minds are not on business; what I said today will definitely be criticized by some people. I am disgusted, even hateful to the bone, but there is nothing we can do. Grassroots lawyers like us have always been concerned about people's livelihood demands. We have not relied on any connections along the way, relying entirely on professional skills and without any outside help. We must hate evil as much as we hate it, and we can't speak out. Show mercy. So I personally think that cases that realize the client's demands through a tortuous process may better reflect the lawyer's sense of responsibility;

Okay, we have talked a lot today, and I hope it will help everyone choose a lawyer. Questions help!
