expertise and whether he is a long-serving advocate or just a beginner.
● Who can handle your legal issues better it all depends on the case and 
circumstances. But, it’s for you to decide whom you want to hire as your advocate, 
the one with the experience or the one who is fresh out of a law school.

● This is an important question that is often overlooked by the clients while hiring 
advocates for them.
● For example, if you have a legal issue related to adoption but the advocate that 
you are meeting with represents only corporations, then he/she may not be the 
best choice for you.
3. How many similar cases to mine you have represented?
● This is the important point that lawyer have how much similar cases to mine?

past record of the advocate that how many similar cases to yours he has handled 
and what number of cases he had won or settled.

top lawyers in india and what is the procedure in which you are required to pay. 
You must also ask for the payment options available.
● It’s also important for you to ask who’ll handle your case. Whether a portion or 
whole of the case will be handled by paralegals or legal assistants. If yes, then ask 
to reduce the costs.
5. What is my role in the preparation of the case?
● It is very important to figure out that what are the things that you should and 
should not be doing to help your advocate.
● For example, many times you are capable to provide documents and background 
information, but your advocate will usually tell you to not speak to the witnesses or 
do any legal work with respect to the case. You should know how you can help 
and you should make sure to follow the instructions given by your advocate.
