Lawyer or Attorney?
Not every lawyer is a lawyer, but every lawyer is a lawyer. If we are talking about participation in arbitration or civil proceedings, as well as in proceedings on an administrative offense, any person can be a representative, even without legal education. In administrative proceedings, that is, when considering and resolving disputes with a public authority, the representative must necessarily have a legal education. And only to participate in a criminal case, you need the help of a lawyer who has received the appropriate status and the right to carry out advocacy - a lawyer. If you still need a lawyer, we will tell you how to find one.

How to choose a lawyer?
Before making a choice in favor of one or another lawyer, we recommend:
check if a lawyer is a lawyer. This can be done through the register of the Ministry of Justice . The current status of the lawyer must be marked there as "Active". If a person is not in the register or is, but has a different status, he cannot carry out advocacy. But the region should not be embarrassed - wherever the status is obtained, it is valid throughout the country.A lawyer must also have a certificate and be listed somewhere - in a bar association, bureau, office or legal consultation. Learn about his specialization, experience, the availability of recommendations from clients and colleagues. Lawyers, like most specialists, have divisions by specialization - someone only takes on murder, someone is well versed in drug disputes, someone prefers to defend fraudsters. It is good if you can find a lawyer who has the appropriate specialization. It's even better if he has a lot of experience and good recommendations. You can check this with the lawyer himself, or you can study his professional path through the Internet. You should be wary if there is no information about the defender. Check if he or his company is represented in the rating (for more information about ratings, see the material " Secrets of Legal Marketing-2017: Ratings, Social Networks and Client Search "). Rating is a special indicator of a lawyer's status. "It is only important to remember that if a firm or specialist is absent from the rating, this does not speak against them. Many worthy professionals do not apply or are not included in the recommended lists, since their activities are not of sufficient scale, " the FBK partner believes Law "Nadezhda Orlova... "Lawyers who are not listed in the ratings often offer more affordable conditions for the provision of legal assistance. At the same time, it is far from a fact that their level will be lower. Perhaps, such lawyer formations have more modest organizational and technical capabilities (fewer assistants, no courier), but by and large these are secondary things, "agrees the lawyer of Khrenov & Partners Dmitry Shniger . Meet and talk to a lawyer. to avoid possible future disappointments, and mutual ones, "Orlova believes." At the first discussion of a case, a good lawyer should give the client enough information about the directions of the situation and prospects, as well as about complex issues that require additional study. The professionalism of the lawyer will be evidenced by his awareness of the judicial practice on the issue, "I am sure Alexey Abramov, director of legal practice at KPMG Russia and the CIS
