Advise and resolve legal problems. The main reasons for those who hire a lawyer. While it is true that lawyers remedy conflicts; It also avoids them if you consult in advance. This is where the first headache begins. Who do we turn to? We review your previous work, clients and the reason for the lawsuit, experience with similar matters in which you seek legal support and verify if you have handled cases recently. Also, take into account how they resolved the cases (at trial or settled). The results, whether you won or lost.
For Fidel Cabezas, lawyer and professor at Ecotec University, the main criterion that a client looks for is economic. “There are some points, but one of them is based on the ability to afford certain fees or on issues of trust and empathy, as subjective elements relevant to the construction of the entire professional relationship”.

It is as important as choosing a specialist in the field, to obtain better insights in the shortest time possible. Instead, a general counsel has to delve deeper into the issue and the process will be slower. For example, if a family member dies and did not leave a will, it is advisable to go to a lawyer with expertise in inheritance matters. If what you need is advice on how and when to pay taxes, the ideal is to turn to a lawyer dedicated to tax matters.
“What is in game? A criminal case could land you in jail, while a civil action could cost you money. This is where the work of lawyer comes into action and is vital to solve it. There are fees that change and depend on what happens in the process,” explains Soledad Zambrano, lawyer and owner of the García & Zambrano legal center.
Now, how are a lawyer’s fees established? There are various valuation elements to consider to define the amount, for example, knowledge, built not only from training, but from experience; success stories and especially failures “these indicators constitutes the foundation on which the exercise of quantification of a certain legal benefit will be structured, adding other aspects related to the working time to be used, delays procedural of external management that may exist and the probabilities of obtaining a certain result,” says Cabezas.
Is it the same to hire a lawyer in criminal matters as in civil matters? It is not the same and should not be confused, says Zambrano, who goes further and summarizes it in an example: “Just as leading the construction of a house with the advice of an interior designer is not the same as with that of a architect“It is not technically admissible to equate a criminal lawyer with a civil lawyer,” he adds. That is, the specialty will always be the light that guides the analysis when hiring a legal professional.
