Counselors-at-law in German towns
There are about 140,000 counselors-at-law working in Germany (in the year 2008). A German advocate either works as a entrepreneur or as an employee of a law company. The legal practitioner is a so-called independent organ of the legal system. As a customer you have the right to choose your preferred legal practitioner absolutely on your own. The following site offers a directory of counselors-at-law assorted by German cities: Anwalt Koeln.
Your lawyer 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 advocate has the right to make binding statements on your behalf. So it is very important to find a attorney whom you really trust. German attorneys can be found here: Anwaelte Nuernberg. This is a human edited directory of counselors-at-law, which is growing constantly. Besides using Internet directories you can find the right attorney by studying the local press or by asking friends for recommendations.
The German legal practitioner 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 attorneys for family law (divorces etc.), employment law, tax law, insurance law, inheritance law, road traffic law, medical law and several others.
Self-employed legal practitioners face the same problems as any other entrepreneur. They are looking for ways to advertise their businesses effectively and at low rates. The Internet offers numerous opportunities to achieve that. There are already several directories of German lawyers online. Some of them charge a one time rate, and some of them do recurring charging. Counselors-at-law can advertise their businesses in the following directory: Rechtsanwalt Aachen. It is free of charge at the time of this writing.
