Lawyer's character

"Fang Xinyue mentioned in her last confession that after she had an argument with Deng Shiyun, Deng Shiyun picked up a Zang knife and stabbed her. She pulled Niu Jiayan nearby to resist, and the knife stabbed Niu Jiayan.

Then, while the other party was not paying attention, she took a wooden stick by the door and hit Deng Shiyun on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious, and then cut Deng Shiyun's wrists with a knife. "Sui Xia said.

"Well, judging from the current evidence, there are many doubts about this case. There are also contradictions in the evidence. Many details are not clear. Although it seems on the surface that Fang Xinyue has the time and motive to commit the crime, the evidence is obviously insufficient. . I think we can do a not guilty plea." Fang Yi said.

"I'm going to call Fang Zugen and ask him to come to the office tomorrow morning to discuss the commission?" Sui Xia asked.

"Okay, go ahead!" After Fang Yi said that, he picked up the case file again.

Early the next morning, as soon as the law firm went to work, Fang Zugen and Lu Liangfen walked into the law firm anxiously. They didn't know what kind of news Fang Yi would bring them, and they were both looking forward to and afraid.

"Mr. Fang, we have met with your daughter and looked at the case file. Judging from the evidence currently in the case, we believe that the evidence in this case is insufficient and the charges of the public prosecution cannot be established." Fang Yi looked at the Fang family couple opposite.

"You mean this case has nothing to do with my daughter and that my daughter is innocent?" Lu Liangfen's lips trembled with excitement.

"We can't make a conclusion on the actual situation of the case. We only came to the above conclusion after analyzing the existing evidence.

Judging from the evidence provided by the public prosecution, it is true that there was emotional entanglement between Fang Xinyue, Cong Mingchang and Deng Shiyun. Fang Xinyue learned that Cong Mingchang was resentful because Deng Shiyun wanted to break up with her, and had the motive to commit the crime.

In addition, Fang Xinyue contacted Deng Shiyun on the phone many times on the day of the crime, and went to the victim's home, which was the scene of the crime, indicating that she had the time to commit the crime.

The above two points are very detrimental to your daughter.

But the evidence that is favorable to your daughter is that investigators detected the ingredients of diazepam and alprazolam from the blood stains on the victim Deng Shiyun's pajamas and sheets, and sedative drugs containing diazepam and alprazolam ingredients The source and whereabouts of the residue are lacking, but there is no corresponding evidence to prove that it was your daughter who brought it.

Although your daughter Fang Xinyue made a guilty confession after being brought to justice, she never confessed to using sedative drugs. This is a doubtful point in this case.

In addition, none of the physical evidence such as milk tea cups, cigarette butts, mobile phones, and blood-stained clothes mentioned in Fang Xinyue's confession have been brought to the case, and the authenticity of her confession cannot be confirmed.

The Zang knife extracted from the scene was not subjected to fingerprint identification, and no blood stains of the deceased Niu Jiayan were found on the knife. It could not be determined that the knife was a crime tool, nor could it be confirmed that Fang Xinyue had ever possessed the knife. This is inconsistent with your daughter's incriminating confession.

Moreover, there are certain contradictions between the evidence provided by the public prosecution agency and reasonable doubt cannot be ruled out. There is no way to prove that your daughter is the murderer.

So we think we can plead not guilty in this case. Of course, how the court will rule depends on the circumstances of the trial, and there are certain risks. "Fang Yi explained.

"Well, can I understand it this way? It is difficult to determine the truth of the case, but according to the current situation, it is very likely that my daughter will not be sentenced to death and may be found not guilty. Is that so?" Jaycee Chan Gen thought for a moment and asked.

"Yes, that's what you understand. Do you want to continue entrusting me, or..." Fang Yi nodded.

"How likely is it that my daughter will be found not guilty?" Fang Zugen hesitated for a moment, then looked at Fang Yi expectantly.

"Sorry, I can't give you an accurate percentage, but I think this case still has a chance. The key depends on whether the prosecutor's office will add other evidence materials and the situation of the trial." Fang Yi replied.

"Well, if we entrust my daughter's case to you, how much will the legal fees cost?" Jaycee Chan asked. He was interested in entrusting the case to Fang Yi, but he was afraid that the legal fees would be too high and he could not afford it.

"If I handle it personally, the legal fee will be 200,000 yuan. If I assign a team of lawyers to handle it, the minimum fee will be 100,000 yuan." Fang Yi replied.

Although Fang Zugen and his wife are retired workers, the company they work for is a state-owned enterprise and they receive good remuneration. They belong to the kind of company that provides fish and meat for one yuan for lunch. Their combined retirement salary exceeds 10,000 yuan, and the living conditions at home are in the local area. Definitely above average. That's why Fang Yi asked for 200,000 legal fees.

If it were a wealthy family, he would want more.

Half an hour later, Fang Yi and Sui Xia sent Fang Zugen and his wife out of the law firm. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Sui Xia told Fang Yi that Fang Zugen had paid all the legal fees, which was 200,000 yuan.

When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Du Yong hurriedly walked into Fang Yi's office.

"Lawyer Fang, there is a non-smoking case introduced by Cheng Xiangyu. I checked it on the Internet. This case has a great influence in the local area. There are a lot of negative news on the Internet. Do we want to take it?" Du Yong sat in the square Yi asked from the opposite side.

There is a rule in the team that any case involving gangs, non-abuse, or with a relatively large social impact must be reported to the team for risk assessment before signing a contract.

The so-called risk assessment is not only a risk assessment of the outcome of the case, but also an assessment of the reputation of the law firm and the practice risks of the lawyers handling the case (especially star lawyers).

The purpose of setting up a risk assessment is very clear. The team must not only make money, but also earn reputation and minimize the lawyer's practice risks. The reputation of the law firm, the team, and the lawyer's career cannot be ruined because of legal fees.

"Is it a case in this province or another province?" Fang Yi was stunned for a moment and asked.

"This case is in this province, but not this city. It is a case in the northern city, involving more than 200 million yuan, nearly 300 million yuan. There are currently five law firms competing for this case, three local law firms of a certain scale, and one Jingcheng Law Firm, and our Shengde Law Firm." Du Yong replied.

"Oh?! Please tell me the specific situation. I'll discuss it with Boss Wan later." Fang Yi said.

…

At the regular meeting on Friday, Fang Yi asked Du Yong to tell everyone about the case of illegal absorption of public deposits recommended by Cheng Xiangyu. Cheng Du stood by the whiteboard with a pen, preparing to take notes.

"Let me explain the background first. This case was recommended by the channel. The basic facts of the case were provided by the defendant after Cheng and I went to Beimian City to talk to him. In other words, there was only the defendant's confession, and we did not See the case file.

There are currently five lawyers bidding on this case, and each law firm has received the same case materials.

This is a case of illegally absorbing public deposits. There are four defendants, Zuo Shouyuan, Zuo Shoupu, Zuo Shoupin, three brothers, and Qin Cui. This Qin Cui is the cousin of the three of them. " Du Yong said.
