In short: not everything that glitters is gold

In this article, we will shed light on a serious problem that clients face when dealing with law firms to request legal advice or entrust them with legal tasks. It is essential to emphasize the need to exercise caution and vigilance before falling into problems that may have detrimental consequences for the client, and could even extend to others depending on the magnitude and seriousness of the required legal service. Undoubtedly, discussing the distressing and sometimes tragic stories involving certain law firms may be beyond the scope of this article.

Many clients have expressed their struggles with certain law firms, which often revolve around recurring issues, including but not limited to:

1. Difficulty in finding a specialized lawyer suitable for the case or obtaining advice.

2. Some lawyers, possibly due to a sluggish market or lack of ethics, might agree to take on a case or provide advice on a matter outside their expertise. Such behavior is highly risky and often carries serious consequences.

3. The paradox of a warm reception and a bleak outcome.

Clients might be deceived by the lavish appearance and professionalism portrayed by law firms, assuming that this luxury reflects a high level of professional competence. This is known as the "halo effect" in psychology. Clients may overlook the necessity of evaluating the most important criteria that should be met by those entrusted with consultation. Thus, it is recommended to refer to an article titled "How to Seek Legal Advice Properly" for some essential tips in this field.
