Before you hire a lawyer, check four things.

Are they actually a lawyer, how the fee is counted, whether the papers are here, and which job you're asking for.

Before you hire a lawyer, check four things.
A picture of the kind of moment. Not a photo from that case.

First, look the name up at the Ministry of Justice. Don't stop at the ad. Second, ask whether the fee is a consult, the whole matter, or a cut of the result, and get that in writing. Third, get the diagnosis, the preliminary table, the policy, and the video in one place. A meeting with no papers turns into someone listening to a story. Fourth, say whether you want a draft read, someone in the room at the prosecutors' office, or a lawsuit. Those are three different amounts of work.

What you read about the two lawyers here came off their own sites. I'm not picking one for you. If someone guarantees a number, stop.

What you can do first

  1. 01Save the screen from the Ministry of Justice search.
  2. 02Ask them to put the fee, and what is not included, in an email or a contract.
  3. 03Tick the document list yourself. Don't pretend a paper exists.

Rewritten in my own words. Not a judgment and not a law firm's article. If a number shows up, it belonged to that public discussion, not to you. Check the Judicial Yuan judgment system. These started as public discussions of car crashes. I rewrote them here. Not a law firm's article.

I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not a mediator. I can't decide this for you. The statute that counts is the one still in force. Judgments live on the Judicial Yuan site.
