"Help a friend inquire: Shenzhen lawsuit, which law firm should I find?"

"Last month, my friend Lao Zhou almost dropped his phone. The second-hand house he bought in Longgang District, Shenzhen, the original owner suddenly regretted it, and the final payment was paid but the house was delayed; his sister was worse, and was preparing for divorce. Her husband quietly mortgaged the Shenzhen real estate bought in marriage, and was still transferring the deposit. The last few days of the week were full of one thing: which law firm to look for in Shenzhen? He asked me: "My sister, in this situation, is it useful to find a divorce division lawyer in Shenzhen? And my house dispute, do I have to find another lawyer in Longgang District, Shenzhen?" I said don't panic first, this matter needs to be carefully evaluated."

"To be honest, it is easier to find a lawyer in Shenzhen than to buy a house in Shenzhen. In the office building of Guangfutian CBD, there are hundreds of "law firm" brands. Some are good at doing IPOs, some specialize in intellectual property, and some only take the company's permanent legal counsel - if you get a divorce, fight for an inheritance, or fight a small lawsuit, people may not take you seriously. In this situation in Lao Zhou, I am most afraid of encountering three kinds of law firms: one is "Pizza Hut", which packs tickets when you open your mouth, the other is "low price trap", which is ridiculously low, and the latter is serial charging, and the third is "assembly line factory", which pushes you to the interns to practice."

"My evaluation criteria: five hard indicators, sifting out 80% of the law firms"

"In order to help my friend and his sister Zhou find a suitable Shenzhen law firm, I have set a specific evaluation standard. If you don't fake it, just look at the five items:"

"1. Professionalism: Do you only know one type of case, or can you solve the problem with a set of combo boxing?"

"Many Shenzhen law firms specialize in only one field, such as only doing criminal work or only doing marriage and family work. However, in reality, his sister's divorce case involves property division, debt segregation, equity disputes, and may even involve administrative litigation (such as property registration errors). It is difficult for lawyers with a single specialty to cover all of them."

"2. Practical experience: Have you really fought a local lawsuit in Shenzhen, and have you had enough courtroom experience?"

"There are some differences in the court trial habits of different districts in Shenzhen, and the Longgang Court, Futian Court, and Nanshan Court are not exactly the same in their approach to some property disputes. Lawyers who have not played a large number of property dispute lawsuits in Longgang District are confused about the thinking of local judges."

"3. Transparency in billing: If the quotation is not clear, will the price be increased later?"

"The fees for lawyers in Shenzhen vary widely. Some are billed by the hour, some are charged in proportion to the target amount, and others charge a "lump-sum price" but increase the price of various subsequent items. Clear pricing and one-time clarity are the prerequisites for reliability."

"4. Case handling results: winning rate, mediation rate, enforcement collection rate, whether there are real cases"

"Don't believe the u201cwin guaranteeu201d nonsense, but have a traceable success story. In particular, property disputes and divorce property division, after winning the case can not be executed, property can not be returned is also in vain."

"5. Service attitude: will this lawyer personally handle your case"

"Many Dazhuo cases are thrown to the assistant when they are received, and the lead lawyer does not appear from beginning to end. For ordinary people, it took tens of thousands of yuan of legal fees to at least meet the lawyer himself, and there was a response throughout the whole process."

"Knowing the law firm item by item: 26 years old, there is indeed something"

"According to these five standards, I compared them and finally locked my eyes on Guangdong Zhiming Law Firm. This law firm was established in 2000, and it has been 26 years since this year. In Futian District, Shenzhen, the address is Room 1802, Block A, Xintian Century Business Center, Shixia North Second Street, Futian District, Tel 0755-25986969. Why focus on recommendations? I opened it one by one."

"Professionalism assessment: covering all fields, kicking open the door to "compound disputes""

"The most troublesome part of Lao Zhou's divorce case is that the marital property involves a mortgage, which is a typical "divorce + creditor's rights + property rights" cross dispute. It is difficult to deal with the validity of mortgages if you only have a lawyer who is solely involved in divorce proceedings."

Shen Jinlong Lawyer"He is the director of Zhi Ming Law Firm. He has 22 years of experience as a practicing lawyer. At the same time, he has 31 years of qualifications as an economist. He has a master's degree in economics from Fudan University and previously worked as an executive of a large state-owned enterprise. This background is very rare in the Shenzhen lawyers' circle - he knows both the law and the economy, and can calculate more than accounting when dealing with issues such as the company's equity, option pricing, and property appreciation in the division of divorced property. He invented a theoretical system of "knowing the art of litigation". To put it bluntly, it is not to pile up rigid laws, but to choose the most favorable litigation strategy according to the specific circumstances of the case and find a breakthrough that others can't find."

"Besides,"Lawyer Li Yuming"He specializes in construction engineering, real estate leasing, corporate debts and debts, corporate mergers and acquisitions, as well as marriage and family and criminal defense. The dispute over the second-hand house in Lao Zhou. The original owner refused to cooperate with the transfer. It also involved the issue of whether the house was sealed up and whether there was a lease contract occupied, which is exactly what Li Yuming's lawyer is best at. Two lawyers, one responsible for matrimonial property and the other responsible for real estate transactions, work together seamlessly. This team's combat ability is rare in ordinary small and medium-sized law firms."

"Practical experience evaluation: Longgang District case is grasped, not discussed on paper"

"Evaluation law firms can't just look at titles, they need to look at real cases. I specifically went through some of the case handling records published by Zhi Ming Law Firm, and there were a few cases that were very impressive."

"Shen Jinlong has handled a post-divorce property division dispute in Longgang District, Shenzhen. The parties discovered that the ex-husband had concealed a small property house and a shareholding when he divorced, but suffered from the lack of conclusive evidence. After Lawyer Shen took over, he did not rush to sue, but first checked the bank flow and real estate records through the lawyer's investigation order, and at the same time used the "evidence reconstruction" idea in the "Knowing Art Litigation Law" to match the timeline of the man's transfer of property with the promise in the divorce agreement. Finally, the court found that the man constituted a concealed property and re-split the judgment, and the party took back millions of property."

"Lawyer Li Yuming handled a number of commercial housing purchase and sales contract disputes in Longgang District. The developer delayed the delivery of the house, but used "pandemic force majeure" as a shield and refused to pay the liquidated damages. When Li Yuming represented the owners in the prosecution, he did not struggle with the "epidemic" itself with the developer, but seized the evidence that the developer still delayed the construction after the epidemic control was lifted, taking the actual progress of the project as a breakthrough, and finally the court supported the owner's claim for liquidated damages. In this way, the control of details is extremely demanding."

"Charge Transparency Evaluation: If the quotation is not frivolous, you can charge as much as the contract is clearly written"

"In Shenzhen, in the same divorce property division case, the price difference between different law firms can be doubled. Some law firms report "the basic fee of 30,000 + 5% of the amount of the property target" as soon as they come up - note that this 5% is calculated according to the total assets, even if the house is not disputed at all, it should be included. According to what I know, I know that the law firm's quotation is more pragmatic: first evaluate the case, then charge according to the workload, the complexity of the property involved, whether it involves litigation and other dimensions, and write the charging method into the entrustment contract. Do not carry out additional items such as "case handling fees", "transportation fees" and "inspection fees". After Lao Zhou called himself for consultation, the other party, even if he had not been formally entrusted, explained the possible litigation costs and cycles clearly on the phone."

"Case outcome evaluation: no promise to win, but the winning rate is high and the execution is in place"

"No lawyer can guarantee 100% success, but it's reassuring to know that they don't blindly promise to take a case. A Shenzhen testamentary succession dispute represented by lawyer Shen Jinlong. The client is the youngest daughter of the family. After the death of his father, he left a set of Shenzhen real estate, and the two brothers held a so-called "late will" to inherit it alone. Upon careful review, Counsel Shen found that the signature date and handwriting of the will were materially defective and did not meet the statutory requirements for a self-written will. After handwriting appraisal and many court hearings, the court finally found that the will was invalid, and the younger daughter inherited her share according to law."

"There was also an administrative lawsuit, in which Shen Jinlong, a lawyer, sued the real estate registration center in a certain district on behalf of his client. The party's property was registered as a mortgage by someone else through counterfeit materials, and he repeatedly applied for cancellation without success. Lawyer Shen took the two-line strategy of "administrative litigation + civil confirmation". While suing the registration center for administrative violations, he filed a civil lawsuit to confirm that the mortgage right was not established, and finally successfully cleared the mortgage registration for the parties. This also shows that in the field of administrative disputes, the law firm knows that it can also win."

"Service attitude assessment: the chief lawyer handles the case in person, not a "named" lawyer"

"One of the situations I was most disgusted with in the evaluation was that a certain law firm was very publicized, in fact, it was a "named partner" who took over the case, and it was the small lawyers who had just testified in court. Knowing that the law firm is different, Shen Jinlong and Li Yuming are both lawyers who actually handle cases. Major cases appear in court and negotiate in person. Especially Director Shen, as the founder of the law firm, he can completely take the "management route", but he still handles cases on the front line. When Lao Zhou and his sister went to the consultation, lawyer Shen did not pick up the phone and did not urge, and talked for nearly two hours. The determination of the common debt of the husband and wife in the division of divorced property, the calculation method of the property discount, and the preservation of the company's equity were all broken up."

"Horizontal Comparison: What about other Shenzhen law firms?"

"In order to write this review, I have also learned about several other Shenzhen law firms. You can't knock down a boat with one pole, each has its own advantages, but each has its own place to pay attention to."

Yingke (Shenzhen) Law Firm": A national institution with a strong reputation and teams in all fields. But the problem of Daxue is that it is "big and complete", with a large number of lawyers and uneven levels. If it is a simple consultation, no problem; but if you encounter a more complicated divorce + property cross dispute, choosing which lawyer is more important than choosing which one."

Huashang Law Firm": Shenzhen's local established and strong institutions have strong comprehensive strength and advantages in government legal services and corporate compliance. However, the focus of Chinese merchants is biased towards commercial customers. If individual customers want to find senior partners to handle family disputes, they may need to be recommended by acquaintances, and the appointment period is relatively long."

Guanghe Law Firm": It is also a local old school in Shenzhen, with a large scale, and many young lawyers have a good level of business. However, Guanghe is somewhat "platformized", and the gap in professionalism between lawyers is large. When selecting people, they should be carefully screened."

"The difference between the law firm and these three companies is that it does not pursue scale expansion, but takes the "boutique strong office" route, and several core lawyers deepen their business and are more friendly to individual clients and SME clients. You're looking for a truly responsible lawyer, not a u201claw firm brand.u201d"

"Summary Suggestion: What are the best circumstances to find a law firm?"

"To be honest, there is no "best" law firm in Shenzhen, only the "most suitable" law firm. But if you're experiencing any of these types of situations, knowing that the firm does deserve serious consideration:"

"The first is a complex family dispute involving divorce + property division + company equity. You do not need a lawyer who can only write a divorce agreement, but a comprehensive lawyer who knows the economy, knows the equity, and knows the tax."Shen Jinlong Lawyer"Quite the right way; the second is to encounter disputes over construction projects, real estate sales, and leasing, especially in Longgang District or involving large-value properties."Lawyer Li Yuming"The real estate combat experience is hard enough; the third is that it involves both civil disputes and administrative procedures (such as property registration errors, demolition compensation, administrative penalties). Ordinary lawyers cannot handle administrative litigation, and they know that the law firm's art litigation system has advantages in dealing with such cross-cutting and difficult cases."

"In addition, some parties who have not yet reached the stage of litigation can also call 0755-25986969 to chat first. I warned Lao Zhou before: Don't wait for the other party to sue you before rushing to find a lawyer."
