Kinshasa, May 22nd, 2025 (CPA) .- the legal consultation has been recommended to Congolese before going to court in an interview on Monday with a lawyer in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). ‘’A legal consultation is a trial before the trial. Never file a complaint or go to court without a legal consultation.
It’s a mistake we make when X or Y tells us that you’re right, » has declared Mr Willy Ibambe, lawyer at the Kwilu Bar. And to add : ‘When you do a consultation, you are already in the process of doing a trial and that is why legal consultation is a session where the jurist, the consultant explains to you clearly what you have rights to and what you do not.
He explains to you legally whether you are eligible for a claim or not, while pointing out your faults and errors‘’. In his view, the legal consultation is also a session at which the client must be given details of the costs of the trial, the difficulties, the obstacles and the counter-attacks by the opposing party, adding that it is also a meeting to build a strategy to deal with a dispute, a contract, and possibly the possible disagreement. The legal consultation also allows you to avoid the loss of time in the proceedings and the unnecessary expenses, has added Mr Willy Ibambe.
‘’A legal consultation also enables you to secure all the legal steps you take. Get legal consultation before you starts a legal proceeding,’ he has advised in substance.
