There are about 140,000 legal practitioners working in Germany (in the year 2008). A German legal practitioner 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 advocate absolutely on your own. The following site offers a directory of advocates assorted by German cities: Anwalt Essen.

Your attorney 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 legal practitioner has the right to make binding statements on your behalf. So it is very important to find a legal practitioner whom you really trust. German counselors-at-law can be found here: Anwaelte Nuernberg. This is a human edited directory of advocates, 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 lawyer who is specialized in a specific area of law. There are for example specialized advocates for family law (divorces etc.), employment law, tax law, insurance law, inheritance law, road traffic law, medical law and several others.

Self-employed advocates face the same problems as any other business owner. They are looking for possibilities to advertise their businesses effectively and at low costs. The Internet offers a lot of opportunities to achieve that. There are already several directories of German advocates online. Some of them charge a one time rate, and some of them do recurring billing. Counselors-at-law can advertise their businesses in the following directory: Rechtsanwalt Muenster. It is free of charge at the time of this writing.
