Russian Lawyer VS Russian Advocate - Attorney
What is the difference?
There are a large number of professional lawyers and law firms in Russia and in Moscow, but only a few of them provide legal services for foreigners in English language.
In addition, Russian law firms can consist of both lawyers and professional advocates, or attorneys. And these meanings are not equal.
A Russian lawyer has a higher legal education and can represent interests in courts on the basis of a «power of attorney», with the exception of criminal cases.
The status of an advocate implies greater legal rights, including the right to defend in criminal cases.
Some people think that they themselves can cope with their problems, since they do not want to spend extra time and money on legal services. Others do not rely on their own experience and strength, and their first reaction to a legal problem that has arisen is to contact people who know how to provide qualified support.
A person can turn to a lawyer if he needs help solving legal issues. However, before asking to provide the necessary service, you need to get acquainted with his type of specialty.
A lawyer is a specialist who provides qualified assistance in legal matters to individuals and legal entities.
It is his direct responsibility to be impartial and to fully apply his knowledge and experience in order to help a client in need.
