Across from Tang Fangjing, Ju Haiqing continued, dropping his pained expression, "Mr. Tang, there was of course a reason for that. At that time, many of us neighbors were thinking about protecting our rights, but we had no idea how to go about it. That's when lawyers started approaching us."
"However, we later discovered that the people contacting us weren't actually lawyers; they were legal consultants from their law firm. They told us they could help sue and get our money back."
"Their fees were very expensive, and the other neighbors didn't want to get involved. Only I and one other person went through with the lawsuit. I remember they charged us more than one hundred and sixty thousand in legal fees..."
Today's law firms aren't what many people think, that lawyers spend their days welcoming guests. The big firms employ their own sales teams—externally known as legal consultants, who never claim to be lawyers.
