Aggressive advertising of legal services is likely to indicate fraud.
It is also important to be attentive to companies that try to create the appearance of connections with government agencies or law enforcement agencies. On September 22, the chairman of the Moscow Bar Association "Advokat" Andrey Misarov told "Gazeta.Ru" about this.
"A large number of enthusiastic reviews may be a marketing ploy. A true professional will never guarantee a result before studying the case and all the documents," the expert said.
The expert said that citizens should be wary of a law firm's offer of unique methods for solving complex cases. He recalled that a lawyer should clearly explain the possible prospects of the case, but cannot guarantee the outcome.
Misarov added that payment for legal services should be calculated depending on the complexity of the work, and not be fixed with a promise of "all-in-one".
He also pointed out the need to carefully study the contract before signing it, because the "standard" terms of the document may turn out to be unfair.
"It is important to get to know the lawyer who will be handling the case, and not the manager who concludes the contract. It is optimal to spell out the payment in stages, so that you can refuse services at any stage if they are not fulfilled," Misarov emphasized.
The expert also recommended checking information about the lawyer or company on the official websites of the Ministry of Justice or the Bar Association.
