Lawyer's character

At 2:30 pm the next day, Ouyang Jie walked into the conference room of the law firm with a man in his thirties wearing sunglasses, hair wax, and a high-end suit.

"Lawyer Fang, this is my friend, Bai Hai. Bai Hai, this is the lawyer Fang Yifang I mentioned to you." Ouyang Jie introduced.

Bai Hai and Fang Yi stood up and shook hands, then sat down again.

"Lawyer Fang, Ouyang and I are friends. Since Ouyang can trust you, I will tell you the truth. The arrested Cheng Wu is my subordinate, and he helps me manage a company. In the past, he could not collect an amount owed by the company. , I asked Cheng Wu to collect the money.

This guy Cheng Wu has been following me for eight years. He usually does things very measuredly. This time the company needs capital turnover, otherwise he would not have pushed the other party so hard, which eventually led to Huacheng's accident. "Bai Hai said.

"Well, Mr. Bai, can you give us a detailed introduction to the case?" Fang Yi asked.

“I don’t know much about the situation. I only know that Cheng Wu was prosecuted by the procuratorate for illegal detention, and the case has now been transferred to the court.

Before, I asked a lawyer to meet with Cheng Wu. It was said that in order to collect debts, Cheng Wu only ate, lived and traveled with Hua Cheng, and did not restrict Hua Cheng's personal freedom. "Bai Hai said.

"If it is true as you said, I think the charges charged by the procuratorate are problematic. However, because I have not met Chen Wu and have not reviewed the case, I currently know too little information about the case, so it is difficult for me to make a judgment." Fang Yi said.

"Lawyer Fang, if I entrust you with this case, how much legal fees will it cost?" Bai Hai asked.

"The legal fees for the first trial are 15,000 yuan, and if there is a second trial, an additional 10,000 yuan will be added," Fang Yi said.

"Oh! Fifteen thousand yuan." Bai Hai nodded, feeling that the price was still acceptable, much cheaper than the previous quote from the lawyer.

Attorney Fang is the number one large law firm in the province and has so many successful cases. How can his fees be so cheap? Could it be...? Bai Hai couldn't help but glance at Ouyang Jie.

Sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing that the lawyer's fee is low. The client may doubt the lawyer's professional level. Especially after meeting several lawyers who charge high prices, the client is more likely to become suspicious.

This is like going to the wet market to buy vegetables. After asking several shops, potatoes cost ten yuan for five pounds. When you walk to the innermost stall and see that potatoes cost ten yuan for eight pounds, you will be asked if you have any doubts. Are potatoes bad? Or is there a problem? Anyway, I will definitely have some ideas, so it would be strange if I don't mutter in my heart.

Fang Yi saw Mr. Bai's thoughts and explained: "Actually, according to the normal charging level, I will charge at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan for the case you mentioned. If the case is complicated, I will increase the fee.

But you are Ouyang's friend, and Ouyang said you have a good relationship with him, so I will directly quote you fifteen thousand yuan. "Fang Yi said.

"That's it! Thank you, thank you Lawyer Fang. Lawyer Fang, please let me think about it and I will send you a letter in a day or two. I also need to communicate with Cheng Wu's family. Listen to his wife's opinion." Bai Hai He immediately smiled and said, if this case is entrusted to Fang Yi, he must accept Ouyang Jie's favor.

Ouyang Jie also looked happy and secretly gave Fang Yi a thumbs up. Originally, he wanted to pay Bai Hai's legal fees, but Ouyang Jie knew that Bai Hai was a face-conscious person and would definitely refuse, so he asked Fang Yi to lower the price and let Bai Hai accept the favor.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Fang Yi said with a smile.

After Ouyang Jie and Bai Hai walked out of the office building, they saw Bai Hai frowning. Ouyang Jie thought for a moment and said, "Brother Bai, don't be embarrassed. If you are not satisfied with Lawyer Fang, I can also introduce you to other lawyers. Do you want to entrust me?" It really doesn’t matter.”

"Ouyang, I know you don't want to hang around now and want to do something down-to-earth. I have read Lawyer Fang's information and am very satisfied with him.

But I don’t want you to always feel like you owe me, it’s just a Harley, you really don’t need to take it to heart. Our parents all came from the same village and are neighbors, so there is no need for you to ask lawyer Fang to deliberately lower the legal fees. Bai Hai patted Ouyang Jie on the shoulder and said.

In Bai Hai's view, business is business, favor is favor, and business is mixed with favor, which he does not want to see. He felt that Ouyang Jie's actions destroyed the purity of money transactions.

"Brother Bai, I understand." Ouyang Jie felt a little hot on his face and felt embarrassed. He didn't expect Bai Hai to see the key to the problem at a glance.

"Okay! If you hire a lawyer for a criminal case, don't be too stingy with the lawyer's fees. What if the lawyer feels unhappy and doesn't pay attention to the trial? It will be bad. Remember, money should be spent wisely, and this will not happen next time!" Bai Hai said.

"Yeah." Ouyang Jie nodded.

"Okay, Cheng Wu's matter can't be delayed any longer. I'll call Cheng Wu's wife tonight and ask for her opinion." Bai Hai said.

Bai Hai thought about it again and again, and it was not the legal fees that made him decide to entrust Fang Yi, but Fang Yi's past cases and Ouyang Jie's face.

Bai Hai's words worked well. In the afternoon of the next day, Cheng Wu's wife rushed to Wanhua United Law Firm in a hurry and found Fang Yi to sign the authorization formalities.

Good guy! Can you not be anxious? Her husband is locked up inside and the case has already reached the court. If she hadn't trusted Bai Hai, she would have signed a contract with the previous lawyer.

After Fang Yi saw off Cheng Wu's wife, he called the detention center and the court to make an appointment for a meeting and review of the case.

Early the next morning, Fang Yi drove to the detention center. After submitting the formalities, he sat outside the stainless steel fence and waited to meet Cheng Wu.

Soon after, the iron door inside was opened, and a man with short hair, a slightly thin figure, and cold eyes, wearing a detention center vest, was brought to the opposite side of Fang Yi by the police and sat down.

"Are you Cheng Wu?" Fang Yi asked.

"Yes." Cheng Wu on the opposite side looked at Fang Yi coldly.

"I am lawyer Fang Yi from Wanhua United Law Firm. Do you know Li Hua?" Fang Yi asked.

"I know, she is my wife." Cheng Wu said expressionlessly.

"Li Hua has entrusted me to defend you. This is the entrustment procedure. If you agree, please sign it." Fang Yi felt like he was hot against his cold butt.

After Cheng Wu took the entrustment procedure, he looked at it, signed his name on it, and handed it to Fang Yi.

"I came here this time to firstly ask you what happened before and after the incident, and secondly to see if you have any needs." Fang Yi said.

"Did Mr. Bai look for you?" Cheng Wu said suddenly.

"Well, your lawyer's fees are paid by Mr. Bai." Fang Yi nodded.

Cheng Wu let out a long breath and his eyes became a little brighter: "I don't have any needs. My wife paid for it before."
