Lawyer's character

Early the next morning, Fang Yi called the procuratorate and learned that Ding Dashan's intentional injury case had been transferred to the Municipal Intermediate People's Court, and it was expected that the trial would not take long.

Just when Fang Yi was checking Ding Dashan's case file, the girl at the front desk called him and said that a woman who claimed to be introduced by Li Shuming came to him for consultation on legal issues and had been arranged to conference room No. 5.

Fang Yi knew as soon as he heard that the family of Boss Zeng whom Li Shuming mentioned yesterday was here on time.

In the conference room, a fashionably dressed woman in her forties sat on a chair and was touching up her makeup in front of the small mirror in her hand. Her face was covered with thick powder and her eyebrows were thick and dark. She walked closer for a while. I found that it was drawn with an eyebrow pencil on her flesh, without a single hair; her lips were the most coquettish, red, as if she had drunk blood; her most distinctive feature was her figure, which looked like an enlarged version if viewed from behind. Sister Lan, her figure is really one of a kind, but she has no waist.

When Fang Yi walked into the conference room, the woman was still busy looking at the small mirror.

"Hello, I'm Fang Yi. Who are you?" Fang Yi asked after sitting down.

"You know Li Shuming? He is a friend of our old Zeng. It was Li Shuming who asked me to come to you. He said that you are the most professional in criminal cases among the lawyers he knows." The woman put away the small mirror leisurely. , looked at Fang Yidao.

Fang Yi looked at the woman and thought to himself: Her husband has been arrested, how come she doesn't look anxious at all? She still has time to paint her eyebrows, she is really big-hearted!

"Hello, Mrs. Zeng. Mr. Li told me yesterday that you would come to me today to consult on Mr. Zeng's case," Fang Yi said.

"Lawyer Fang, just call me Xiaofang. Don't call me Mrs. Zeng. I sound like I'm seventy or eighty years old," the woman said.

Xiao... Xiaofang! There is a girl named Xiaofang in the village... The woman's words reminded Fang Yi of the song that was popular all over the country.

"Xiao..., what, what's your surname? I think it's better to call you Madam. After all, this is a law firm." Fang Yi really couldn't pronounce the name Xiaofang.

"Okay, my surname is Yuan, you can call me Yuanfang!" the woman said reluctantly.

OK! Xiaofang just left, and this time Yuanfang came again. Fortunately, his name was not Li Yuanfang.

"Ms. Yuan, can you introduce Mr. Zeng's case?" Fang Yi asked.

"Actually, our old Zeng is not to blame for this..." Yuan Fang recounted what happened in a leisurely manner.

A month ago, Yuanfang drove to the market to pick Zeng Xueqin home. As a result, when the car drove into the parking lot, it scratched the Beetle driven by a woman next to her while reversing. The two women didn't get along well, so they started arguing in the parking lot.

Just in time, Chen Zhihong, Zeng Xueqin's competitor, passed by. Chen Zhihong also ran a fruit business, and his colleagues were enemies. Although the relationship between the two families was usually okay, in fact, they were at odds with each other.

When Chen Zhihong came back from inviting a client to dinner, he happened to encounter Zeng Xueqin's wife Yuan Fang arguing with a woman in the parking lot. After learning about the situation, she said a few words to Yuan Fang. As a result, Yuan Fang thought that Chen Zhihong was taking the opportunity to be biased, so she yelled at Chen Zhihong. . The scolding got so intense that both sides started to tear each other up.

At this moment, Zeng Xueqin ran over and saw his wife fighting with Chen Zhihong, so he went up and punched Chen Zhihong on the chest and head. Later, when Zeng Xueqin saw that Chen Zhihong was beaten, he ran away. Chen Zhihong chased after him, but he fell to the ground unconscious after chasing him for three to four meters. He later died after resuscitation failed. Zeng Xueqin fled the scene and was captured by the police the next day.

It was identified that Chen Zhihong died suddenly of coronary heart disease due to a coronary heart attack caused by a variety of factors such as being agitated during a quarrel, being hit on the chest, strenuous exercise, and drinking alcohol, on top of his existing coronary heart disease. He then died suddenly from cardiac arrest caused by tubular cerebral spasm.

"Ms. Yuan, what stage has Mr. Zeng's case reached now?" Fang Yi asked.

"We have arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, and the court has not yet notified when the trial will begin. Lawyer Fang, I consulted several lawyers before, and also asked lawyers to go to the detention center to meet with them. They all said that my husband intentionally injured someone and caused death. He may be sentenced to ten years. More than 10 years. Let me spend more money and find someone to take care of it. Maybe I can get a ten-year sentence at the lowest level." Yuan Fang said.

“I haven’t seen the case file on Mr. Zeng’s case, but according to what you just said, Chen Zhihong already had coronary heart disease, and you didn’t know that he had coronary heart disease.

There are many factors that can induce coronary heart disease, and the punch that Mr. Zeng punched him may not be the main cause. So I think this case is not without a chance, and Mr. Zeng may not be sentenced to more than ten years in prison. Of course, there are risks, and I can’t decide on a defense plan until I’ve read the case file.

Are you here today just for consultation, or do you want to entrust me to defend Mr. Zeng? Fang Yi thought for a while and said.

"Mr. Li said that you are very good at criminal defense and have many successful cases. Our Lao Zeng and Mr. Li are friends and have cooperated for many years. We trust Mr. Li, and naturally we trust you. I want to entrust our Lao Zeng with his case. you.

I don’t know about attorney fees, how do you charge them? " Yuan Fang said.

"Mr. Zeng is very likely to be guilty of intentional injury. I may not be able to provide him with an innocent defense. The key now is to save Mr. Zeng from squatting in there for a few years. So I charge 100,000 yuan for the lawyer's fee." Fang Yi originally wanted to point out more points. I was also afraid that the other party would think that I wanted too much and would not entrust the client, so I finally gritted my teeth and asked for 100,000 yuan in legal fees.

"Yes, as long as my husband is sentenced to less than ten years, the money will be well spent. Can we pay it in installments? I will give you 20,000 first. If my husband is really sentenced to less than ten years, I will pay the rest. ." Yuan Fang bargained.

Well... As expected of a businessman, my husband is going to jail when he is so busy thinking about bargaining, yet he still has the heart to discuss prices, I'm convinced!

Fang Yi felt a little unhappy and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that won't work. We have regulations that prohibit risk agents in criminal cases."

Previously, Fang Yi represented Fang Mao's wife in a criminal case for free, but he was caught in the act and almost punished by the Lawyers Association. He learned a lot from the experience. He didn't want to be complained about because he represented Fang Mao's wife in a criminal case at a risk.

"Is there a way to get the best of both worlds? I hope the legal fees will be bundled with my husband's verdict," Yuan Fang said.

"This really doesn't exist. Why don't you go to other law firms and ask. Our law firm definitely can't do it." Fang Yi said.

Even if Fang Yi wants to make this money, even if both parties agree to use the contingency agency method to charge fees, as soon as the agency contract is uploaded to the internal approval system of Jinshi Law Firm, the case will be stopped immediately by Boss Gu. Fang Yi will also be punished. So Fang Yi would definitely not do this.

"Okay then, one hundred thousand is one hundred thousand. Lawyer Fang, our family is completely dependent on you." Yuan Fang's eyes were full of expectation.
