hello,
i received a partition suit notice and i am one f the 8 defendants listed in the suit. this is for our ancestral property in andhra pradesh. i never dealt wtih any legal case as such in the past.. so little ignorant on this thing here.
if i had to hire a lawyer for this, do i need to hire him for the entire case or just for a hearing.?
i am being advised by some that on ,if am on a defendnat side, then i can just hire for that hearing and dont want to look for someone to handle the entire case.
it is true that the legal expense is usually less on a defendant side compared to a plaintiff ..
or what sort of a expectation do i need to sort forth wtih my lawyer if am on a defendant side and to fix a rate card for this case.
