Practical tips

  • Use specialized portals: professional web portals often help us to verify the lawyer’s online reputation or to read the opinions of previous clients of this professional.

  • Sign a contract: although it may sound obvious, it is better to have things clear and sign a contract for the provision of services where the lawyer establishes terms (if applicable), dates and above all the fees he will receive for the provision of his services.
