There are about 140,000 counselors-at-law working in Germany (in the year 2008). A German attorney either works as a self-employed professional 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 lawyer absolutely on your own. The following site offers a directory of lawyers 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 lawyer has the right to make binding statements on your behalf. So it is very important to find a attorney whom you really trust. German lawyers can be found here: Anwaelte Bielefeld. This is a human edited directory of advocates, which is growing constantly. Besides using Internet directories you can find the right advocate by studying the local press or by asking friends for recommendations.

The German attorney 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 attorney who is specialized in a specific area of law. There are for example specialized legal practitioners 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 business owner. They are looking for opportunities to advertise their businesses effectively and at low costs. The Internet offers numerous ways to achieve that. There are already several directories of German advocates online. Some of them charge a one time fee, and some of them do recurring billing. Advocates can advertise their businesses in the following directory: Rechtsanwalt Muenster. It is free of charge at the time of this writing.
