[2026 Legal Guide] Do I need a lawyer for civil litigation? Key differences and evaluation points between self-litigation and hiring a lawyer.

Is it necessary to hire a lawyer in civil disputes? According to Taiwan's Code of Civil Procedure, there is no mandatory requirement to hire a lawyer for the first and second instances of civil litigation; parties can "lawy themselves." However, if the case is appealed to the third instance (the Supreme Court), Article 466-1 of the Code of Civil Procedure applies, requiring the appointment of a lawyer. However, civil litigation heavily relies on the "burden of proof" and "courtroom arguments." If the case involves large sums of money, complex facts, or professional expert evaluation, it is strongly recommended to have a professional lawyer assist you to avoid the risk of losing due to a lack of understanding of legal procedures. Faced with sudden civil litigation (such as car accident compensation, payment of construction fees, contract performance, infringement of spousal rights, or estate division), many people's first question is often: "Should I litigate myself or hire a lawyer?" As professional legal practitioners, Fidelity Law...

Driver attacks victim with screwdriver, leaving the victim paralyzed from the waist down. Victim: Car dealership maliciously divested assets. Lawyer Li Yusheng explains the consequences of debtor divestment and the enforcement procedure.

Taxi driver stabbed victim with a screwdriver, leaving the victim paralyzed from the waist down. Victim alleges taxi company maliciously divested assets. (Reported by Wang Yu-jun, FTV News) In 2021, in Xindian District, New Taipei City, a taxi driver stabbed a victim 11 times with a screwdriver, causing paralysis of the lower body and permanent disability. The driver and the taxi company sought joint and several liability compensation. Although the court awarded over NT$5.28 million, the taxi company has been delaying payment and is suspected of maliciously divesting assets. The company's trademark was recently auctioned off for NT$130,000, which is far from sufficient to cover the damages. Lawyer Li Yu-sheng of Fidelity Law Firm stated that if the court orders the debtor to pay over NT$5 million, and the debtor has no assets to repay the debt or has maliciously divested assets, the creditor can apply for enforcement. Enforcement will involve auctioning off the debtor's existing assets to repay the debt…

Balcony 2/3 smaller, price difference over NT$200,000! Man accuses developer of "miscalculation of floor area," but refuses to compensate. Lawyer Li Yusheng explains disputes over pre-sale apartments and methods for handling discrepancies in floor area.

Balcony Shrinks by 2/3, Price Difference Exceeds NT$200,000! Man Alleges Developer Refuses to Compensate for "Miscalculated Area" | ETtoday News Reporter Lin Herong News Link: A resident in New Taipei City bought a pre-sale apartment two years ago and only recently discovered when planning renovations that the sales agent had miscalculated the area of the "balcony," counting 1.53 square meters as 1.53 ping (approximately 3.3 square meters), resulting in a difference of nearly NT$300,000. However, when he contacted the developer, the developer's attitude was very passive, seemingly taking advantage of the fact that the balcony "is not included in the property deed area" and the contract did not explicitly state the area, thus refusing to compensate him. Lawyer Li Yusheng of Fuda Law Firm stated that regarding this dispute over the pre-sale apartment purchase, even though the balcony was not specified in the pre-sale purchase contract, the developer provided a pre-sale payment breakdown sheet showing the relevant area, and that breakdown sheet is still…
