Advocates in German districts

There are about 140,000 lawyers working in Germany (in the year 2008). A German legal practitioner either works as a self-employed professional or as an employee of a law company. The attorney is a so-called independent organ of the legal system. As a client you have the right to choose your preferred legal practitioner absolutely on your own. The following site offers a directory of attorneys assorted by German cities: Anwalt Dortmund.

Your attorney is independent of any instructions of third parties and should only chase your specific interests. He or she may not reveal details of your case to unauthorized third parties. Additionally your attorney has the right to make binding statements on your behalf. So it is very important to find a legal practitioner whom you really trust. German legal practitioners can be found here: Anwaelte Bielefeld. This is a human edited directory of advocates, which is growing constantly. Besides using Internet directories you can find the right lawyer by studying the local press or by asking friends for recommendations.

The German lawyer can work as a generalist or as a specialist. As our world is becoming more and more complex, it might be a good idea to look for a counselor-at-law who is specialized in a specific area of law. There are for example specialized advocates for family law (divorces etc.), employment law, tax law, insurance law, inheritance law, road traffic law, medical law and several others.

Self-employed counselors-at-law face the same problems as any other business owner. They are looking for possibilities to advertise their businesses effectively and cheaply. The Internet offers many possibilities to achieve that. There are already several directories of German counselors-at-law online. Some of them charge a one time fee, and some of them do recurring billing. Counselors-at-law can present their businesses in the following directory: Rechtsanwalt Moenchengladbach. It is free of charge at the time of this writing.
