Dear reader! If you have picked up this book, it is likely that you or your loved ones have problems that require legal knowledge, professional skills and abilities to solve. And, apparently, you are faced with a choice: contact seek legal assistance from a lawyer or try to get out of the situation on your own. Of course, whether to invite a lawyer to protect your rights in a difficult life situation or not is up to you. But before you make a decision, you need to find the answer to the following questions: Do you know why lawyers are needed? Is there a clear and understandable algorithm for finding a good lawyer? How to choose a professional, competent and, most importantly, reliable specialist among the many lawyers? From what positions is it better to conduct an assessment, what is it worth paying attention to? If you don’t know, then I suggest reading this small book. I’ll immediately make a reservation that this book is not a unique product of my thoughts. My only merit is that I edited and systematized materials collected from various sources. A list of these sources is presented on the last page of the book.
