Lawyer's character

Although Mr. Zhou treats his own family very harshly or even harshly, he is very generous to his old subordinates who have contributed to the Defa Group. Not only will he provide a large pension when they retire, but they will also provide their children with money if they do not have suitable jobs. Positions will be arranged within the group, and of course they will be arranged according to ability. If there is really no support, we will arrange some comfortable positions without any actual power. The salary is not high or low, but it is enough to live on.

Today, Zhou Shen finally had time to rest. He suddenly remembered that the boss of a consulting firm asked him to help recommend a criminal lawyer some time ago, but he forgot about it in a hurry. Now that he remembered it, in line with the principle of leaving nothing to outsiders, he was going to recommend Fang Yi to the boss.

But when he called the boss, the other person told him that he had hired a criminal lawyer from Beijing and that the case had been in court and was awaiting judgment. Zhou Shen had no choice but to give up after hearing this.

He was going back to his hometown next month to deal with some internal matters within the family, so he happened to have a chat with Fang Yi to see if he could be brought into his team.

Liu Cai's family was finally deceived by Zhang Datou and appealed. Although they were extremely reluctant to pay for legal fees, when they heard Zhang Datou again mentioning the 500,000 yuan compensation, they were moved and gritted their teeth and made another decision. Thousand yuan in legal fees, and it was agreed that if the lawsuit was won, 20% of the compensation would be allocated as follow-up legal fees.

After Zhang Datou got the lawyer's fee, he submitted an appeal. Although he was not convinced and felt that the probability of changing the sentence was low, the lawyer's fee was there. Although it was only a thousand yuan, mosquito legs were still meat no matter how small they were! After all, it’s just an income.

A week later, Zhao Sanhua received a notice from the second instance court. He hurried to Zhengyi Law Firm with the subpoena, signed an agency contract with Fang Yi, and paid 3,000 yuan in legal fees.

After contacting Judge Cheng of the Intermediate Court who was responsible for Zhao Sanhua's case, Fang Yi learned that it turned out that the Intermediate Court had no intention of holding a hearing at all and was preparing to hear the case in writing. Judge Cheng asked Fang Yi to go to the Intermediate Court for a talk the next day and submit a defense opinion.

At 2:30 p.m. the next day, Fang Yi stood outside the eighth courtroom of the Intermediate People's Court, waiting to go in and talk after the trial was over. Shouts came from inside from time to time, and the voices were high and low. It should be that the two parties were quarreling, followed closely. Then the hammering of the gavel was heard.

After a while, a wave of parties came out cursing, and soon after another wave of parties came out frowning. It seemed that the trial was over.

There was a male judge wearing glasses sitting in the eighth courtroom. He was rubbing his temples and reading case files with a tired look on his face. The clerk was typing on the keyboard quickly.

"Hello Judge Cheng, I am Lawyer Fang, the attorney of the appellee Zhao Sanhua. This is the dog bite case." Fang Yi walked into the court and said with a serious face.

"Zhao Sanhua..., oh, it's the case where a dog bit a man to death. The deceased's name was Liu Cai!" Judge Cheng frowned, pushed down the black-rimmed eyes on the bridge of his nose, and said with a depressed look.

It is estimated that in the case just now, the two parties were yelling at each other in court, which annoyed him quite a lot.

"Yes, that's the case. I am Zhao Sanhua's agent. Here are my entrustment procedures and defense." Fang Yi submitted the procedures and defense to the clerk.

After checking the commission procedures, the clerk nodded to the judge and said there was no problem. Judge Cheng found the case file and said, "Please find a place to sit. This time I just want to briefly understand the situation..."

It is estimated that there will be a court session later, so this conversation was not long and lasted for more than 20 minutes before it ended. Fang Yi briefly restated his views in the first trial. The clerk made a simple record. Fang Yi After Yi signed, it was done.

It's April in the blink of an eye, the late spring cold has passed, and the winter jasmine flowers on the roadside are blooming, full of life. The girls in the county began to show off their legs and waists that they thought were the most beautiful. The figures that had been wrapped up all winter could finally be seen again, but occasionally the fat on their waists that looked like pig fat was not suitable for the occasion.

On this day, Fang Yi and Xiao Zhou just came out of the consulting unit. The phone rang. It was Zhou Shen calling, asking him to have dinner at the barbecue restaurant where they met before.

After get off work in the afternoon, Fang Yi returned to his residence, changed his clothes, and walked out.

When Fang Yi walked to the door of the barbecue restaurant, he saw Zhou Shen getting out of the car. Zhou Shen is thinner than before, with a kind look in his eyes, a good spirit, and a happy face.

"Senior Brother Zhou, what brand of weight-loss medicine are you taking? The effect is very obvious!" Fang Yi joked.

Zhou Shen smiled: "I worked on a project some time ago and have been busy for more than half a year. Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Let's go in and chat."

When the waiter saw Fang Yi leading someone in, he hurriedly moved them to a quiet place in the corner. Fang Yi always liked to find a quiet place to sit every time he came, and the table in the corner almost became his special seat.

"Lawyer Fang, what do you two want to eat?" The clerk asked with a smile, holding paper in his left hand and pen in his right hand.

"The two of us, you can order some skewers, and then..." At this point, Fang Yi looked at Zhou Shen: "Senior brother, do you want white or beer?"

"Come and make a beer to quench your thirst." Zhou Shen said.

"Okay, two more draft beers." Fang Yi said.

After ordering the food, the waiter went to work. Zhou Shen looked at Fang Yi and said, "I heard about what happened ten years ago. What are your plans next? Continue to practice here?"

"There are people here who want to make me look bad, and I don't want to go back and forth with them. It's not because I'm afraid of them, but I don't want to waste my energy on infighting between lawyers and law firms. It's not worth it.

I have already made an agreement with the firm and plan to transfer to a law firm in the city to practice law. I am currently looking for a law firm. Fang Yi picked up the barley tea on the table and poured a cup for Zhou Shen.

"Have you ever thought about going to the capital to develop?" Zhou Shen asked straight to the point.

He felt that there was no need to beat around the bush with Fang Yi. The simpler the communication method, the more effective it was, although he was already used to the roundabout way of talking.

"Going to the capital?" Fang Yi was startled and looked at the alumni in front of him blankly.

It would be nonsense to say that I have never thought about going to the capital to develop, but that was all a long time ago (when I first changed my career as a lawyer). Later, I considered that lawyers from other provinces would practice in the capital. The procedures for changing firms are complicated and time-consuming, and they need to submit five documents. If you want to handle a case yourself, you have to go to the capital city to talk to a law firm about transferring the case. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but you may not be able to successfully transfer to a law firm in the capital city. To put it bluntly, even if he went to the capital, the source of the case was still a problem. He simply couldn't stand the trouble, so he gave up the idea in the end.

At this time, Zhou Shen once again mentioned going to the capital to develop, and Fang Yi hesitated.
