In this article we will describe the situations faced by the clients of lawyers in criminal cases, as one of the most exciting and dangerous areas for human rights protection.

Why do some citizens have a negative attitude towards lawyers? How lawyers "bred" their Clients and what the cost of a lawyer's services can be and for what actions.

First, advocacy is inherently one of the types of service delivery. Nevertheless, many lawyers, especially those who have worked since the times of the Soviet Union, like to talk about the bar as primarily about a social phenomenon with a special meaning of the institution for the protection of human rights. Of course there is some truth in this, but in all things a measure is necessary. If there is undue emphasis on the special status of the lawyer, there is less time for a real assessment of the situation, and potential clients who communicate with such lawyers seem to have got into the "temple of law" where the lawyer - the priest deigned to communicate with them. This creates a certain atmosphere and entourage. However, often this leads to the choice of a lawyer, not based on a sober calculation and understanding of its capabilities, but quite the contrary - on the basis of the Client's internal sensations based on external factors - irritants.

Secondly, many lawyers do not tell their clients the whole truth about his situation, deliberately "exaggerating". Thus, the client begins to worry, loses vigilance and as a result is ready to give any money, just to remain at large. Of course, often the words of a lawyer are true and excessive self-reliance on avoiding liability without hiring a lawyer can cost the client more expensive in the future, and the right moment to elect a position on the case may already pass.

Thirdly, many lawyers allow themselves to violate the rules of legal ethics and frankly promise guarantees of a positive outcome of the case. This technique of attracting a client is a prohibited advocacy community. The reason for the ban is that no lawyer, no matter how experienced, clever and diligent, can not foresee the future decision in the case with absolute certainty. The final decision can be influenced by a mass of reasons, and the decision is usually taken by a responsible official, whose position can be influenced by various factors, both external and internal psychological processes of individuality. An attorney can only guarantee the quality of the services he provides.
