The fear of making mistakes often grips our ability to choose between different options. It makes us repeatedly doubt whether the opportunity we have chosen is the best one.
The most indecisive people doubt any choice, even those that may seem more banal, such as deciding on the flavor of ice cream, or the color of a dress. There are many considerations and questions to ask before hiring a professional. We will go systematically so that, in the end, you are satisfied with your choice.
You must be clear that there is a lot of competition in the world of the legal profession, and you will be able to find a multitude of professionals. That is why it is essential to define what you want to look for, so it’s not lost along the way.
Take a pen and paper and start answering.
What is my problem?
It seems so essential that many times we do not stop to think about what I want. Delimit your problem well before launching a lawyer or advisor. Take time to know the characteristics of what is going to bring you to justice. It is not the same, for example, to be accused of a serious crime than to be called to mediation or to face a criminal process than a civil one. First, know the details of your situation. This includes understanding the deadlines you handle, if you have a future view, or immediate.
What kind of professional fits my needs?
Once you know what your problem is, think about what the legal profession can solve it. It is essential to select a person with experience in the same field, and the more precise and profound this is better. For example, suppose you have a company. In that case, it is not as if an employee has reported you for an unfair dismissal to which you want to carry out a restructuring process that will lead to employee dismissal. Nor will you need the same specialist if what you have been accused of has been a work accident. All these cases are framed in labor law, yes, but it is better than you look for the specific profile for your problem. The question is logical; how can I make such a concrete selection between the offer of lawyers and advisers? The job of identifying the professional with experience in your specific needs. Also, that brings us to the next question. Bookkeeping is a good realization with a long-term perspective. It promotes critical thinking and contributes to the development of analytical capabilities and develops creativity and easy adaptability to a rapidly changing business environment.
What experience does the lawyer or advisor have?
Also, here, the answer does not depend exclusively on you. It also depends on the growth of professionals in your area, their specialty, or their best cases. At this point, you should do a little research work: ask the acquaintances, find situations where there is a particular lawyer worker, etc. In the same line, it is essential to assess the proximity of the lawyer or advisor within this point of experience. Many laws have a regional application, including provincial, so you will need to contact a specialist in the area where the litigation is going to happen or know the laws that apply in the locality where you are.
In the same way, the lawyer will need a license to work in that region. It is essential that you also pay attention to it so as not to be a victim of any fraud in this regard. Similarly, reviewing the history of the lawyer will help you know if this has any disciplinary sanction, negligence, or any other blur in your file.
