Russian Lawyer VS Russian Attorney ("Advocate")
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/barristers. And these terms 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.
"Advocate status" 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/she needs help solving legal issues. However, before asking to provide the necessary service, you need to get acquainted with his/her specialty.
A lawyer is a specialist who provides qualified assistance in legal matters to individuals and legal entities.
It is his/her direct responsibility to be impartial and to fully apply his/her knowledge and experience to help a client in need.
The field of work of lawyers can be very different.
