You basically know that lawyers help their clients resolve their legal issues. But actually, lawyers play different responsibilities depending on their specialization. The way they help their clients vary in many fields of law from criminal, divorce, bankruptcy, corporate to patent law.
Say for example bankruptcy lawyers, they help you file your petition and prepare the necessary documents, they attend the creditors meeting and answers questions from the trustee, they represent you in the court.
As for tax lawyers, they don’t spend much time in courtrooms because they don’t usually prosecute or defend, unlike criminal lawyers.
However, all lawyers have 3 common responsibilities which all of them should do, may it be bankruptcy lawyers, criminal lawyers, family lawyers, etc. What are they? Let’s find out.
1. Lawyers as advocate
Once you hire a lawyer, you’ve already hired a spokesperson. They are your voice. They are your mediator as they speak and negotiate with the opposing party and the court. Just as you would hire bankruptcy lawyers, you don’t have to worry about verbal abuse from creditors because they have to speak first with your lawyer. As negotiations cannot be avoided between two parties, your lawyer also facilitates it so that parties would smoothly agree to a common ground.
Moreover, the major role of lawyers as advocates is to represent you in the court particularly your point of view and interests and present arguments efficiently for a successful case result.
2. Lawyers as advisor/counselor
It is part of their duties that lawyers should provide counseling to their clients on their legal options. They give clear legal advice on what are the consequences if the client chooses a certain option, stating clearly the pros and cons as much as possible. They either support or prevent a certain action, decision, and partnerships would lead to litigation.
3. Lawyers as the brain of your case
With the professional skills, knowledge and experience of a lawyer, they should effectively work as the brain of the case. They conduct extensive research to create a strategic plan towards a winning case. They analyze every detail of your case including the weakness and strengths; thereafter, come up with a strong argument and solution.
Most of all, lawyers must be effective communicators. They should precisely put into words their thoughts and arguments. And of course, as they must keep a record of all judicial opinions and should make contracts, they must be good formal writers as well.
Apart from these three major works of lawyers, they still perform some minor duties which still impacts how your case would work out.
There are times that their memory skills are required. Lawyers must be excellent in absorbing loads of information even those that are not too familiar to them.
They must play as a sincere audience as well because at times, they must listen to all your problems, concerns, and even personal struggles.
Now that you know the main duties of a lawyer, you must have ideas already what to as from them and what not.
