In our daily life, we will always encounter a variety of copycat brands, they do their best to play the side ball, often in the packaging design, product name digging holes, the slightest careless, will fall into the trap of the merchant.

But what you don't know is that this kind of demonic wind that is fake and real has even blown into the legal service industry.

Take a look at the sign below.

How do legal consulting firms in the gray area get your money?

Figure: Official account

At first glance, this signboard is "Hubei Anhuaixin Law Firm", and there is indeed such a law firm in Hubei. But take a closer look, how is the word "lawyer" weird?

Good guy, it's "Lilly Shuai"!

If you take a closer look, there is a small line at the bottom of the line "Legal consulting firm".

This is not a law firm, but a legal consulting company, and the name of the company is "Hubei An Huaixin Law Firm."

What a vicious way to name it!

How do legal consulting firms in the gray area get your money?

It is no accident that the "legal firm" has seriously disrupted the legal services market. For people who don't know much about the legal industry, they are very easily attracted by the low prices and promises of legal consulting firms.

In fact, the biggest differences between a legal consulting firm and a law firm are:

Consulting companies can only provide legal consulting services, and are strictly prohibited from exceeding the scope of their business, and must not engage in civil and administrative litigation agency and criminal defense business, and are strictly prohibited from making profits by entrusting others to participate in litigation in a disguised manner.

In other words, a legal consulting firm cannot go to court to litigate. In addition, there is basically no threshold for legal consulting company personnel.

Lawyers in law firms must pass the legal examination, obtain a lawyer's practice certificate, and go through the administrative examination and approval of the judicial department.

Legal consulting firms, on the other hand, are not bound by these rules and regulations, and they can do business as long as they set up a company.

In terms of reasons, the reasons why legal consulting firms have sprung up like mushrooms after a rainstorm are:

First, it is to take advantage of the loopholes in the law. The state vigorously develops the market economy and abolishes the administrative examination and approval requirements for legal consulting companies, so that the establishment of legal consulting companies no longer requires the approval of judicial organs, but only needs to be registered with the industrial and commercial departments, and there is almost no threshold for registration.

Second, they are reckless in soliciting business. When a lawyer negotiates a case with a client, he or she often gives a professional legal analysis based on the facts of the client. However, due to the lack of solid legal knowledge in most lawyer consulting companies, there are common cases of making indiscriminate promises, hinting at relationships, and boasting about strength. They tend to verbally promise that everything will be fine, but in reality they can't get it off the ground.

Third, it is difficult to distinguish the true and false name of the company. As mentioned above, in order to "package" themselves more professionally, many legal consulting firms will directly use the name of a well-known law firm, or use "hands and feet" on their signboards to deceive the public.

It is not difficult to find legal services, but the difficult thing is to be afraid of being cheated, so what kind of lawyer to find to feel at ease, in the final analysis, one word: reliable!

What does it mean to be reliable?

Persons who have not obtained a lawyer's practice certificate fraudulently use the name of a lawyer to engage in legal service business are not reliable;

Personnel who do not have solid basic legal skills will only verbally promise to "draw a big pie", which is not reliable;

Being active in detention centers, traffic police brigades and other places, and not taking proper channels to connect with customers, this is not reliable.

Reliable, it needs to be based on the character of professional continuous improvement, relying on the standardized management and refined operation of the law firm. Truly focus on "solving the problems of the parties", take "meeting the needs of the parties" as the goal, and standardize management and refine the operation process.

At a time when the market is mixed, Da Mo hopes that every client can find a lawyer with the highest score in professional character, professionalism and professional ability.
