A lawyer’s job description

He is also compelled to defend his client even if the case seems impossible. He also has a moral obligation towards the client, and is bound by the professional secrecy.

A lawyer advises his client

The lawyer must provide his clients with answers and legal advice. He has to advise them before they do anything wrong especially on the juridical field. This is why; the client too, must never hide anything from his lawyer. As people say, better safe than sorry !

Before expressing his opinion, a lawyer has to take his time, think, and do all the necessary research.

Lawyers, just like doctors, are specialized in a certain area of their field. With a good experience, the lawyer becomes the best asset to help a client understand subtleties of the law that can be applied in his situation.

The lawyer defends his client

The lawyer represents his client in front of the tribunal or during negotiations. It means that he is acting in the name of his client in order to solve a juridical problem.

Lawyers fully participate in the research of solutions as well as less costly and less stressful new paths and options. It is sometimes more advantageous for the client to solve a problem amicably than in front of a judge.

The law contains always a solution
