In case of unforeseen situations, you may need qualified legal assistance, for this they usually turn to either private lawyers or a law firm. But very often in this profession there are scammers who are not able to provide professional assistance, but only take money from clients.
The legal market in our country is developing very chaotically. There are a great many firms that promise to solve any problems in a short time, but there are only a few that really help. Any citizen who has an appropriate diploma can provide legal services. But it is very difficult for a client to distinguish a highly qualified lawyer from an amateur who bought his diploma in the transition.
There are a lot of scammers who offer to solve issues related to criminal proceedings. In this case, it is better to choose a lawyer based on the recommendations of real people. This is especially true for large cities.
If your problem can only be resolved in court, then it is worth spending some time looking for a really good lawyer, but you should understand that his services will not be cheap. Therefore, you also need to find money.
At the first meeting, an experienced and competent lawyer will do the following things:
1. He will listen to you carefully, understand the essence of the problem.
2. Will name all the documents that he will need for work
3. Tells the proposed action plan that is necessary to resolve the issue.
4. Will name the cost of services, and also inform about possible additional costs that may arise, for example, examination, legal costs, and so on.
5. An experienced lawyer will not agree to work without an advance payment, so be prepared to deposit some amount in advance. This is not one hundred percent amount, but 50 percent will need to be paid.
6. Also a good lawyer is ready to provide his reports on similar cases that were successful.
7. An experienced lawyer will never 100% guarantee a positive result, but will be able to determine the likelihood of a favorable outcome, as well as name the articles of the law that will play in favor.
8. He will clearly and competently formulate the answer to each question, he will not look for excuses or speak in general phrases.
9. Will try to do everything possible not to bring the case to court.
Of course, this is not a complete list, but it is quite possible to understand intuitively who you are dealing with. The main result of such a meeting should be the trust that the lawyer inspires in the client. If such trust does not arise, it is better to look for other specialists.
