Lawyer's character

"Director, I see you are sweating. Wipe it off quickly. Take a drink of water first, don't rush now." As he said that, Fang Yi put a cup of tea in front of Sun Zhengyi.

"Hey! That's it, why don't I be anxious? Lee Myung-bak's case happened in the office. It's strange that I, the director, am not anxious. Look at my lips, they are blistered." Son Zhengyi He took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his head and said.

"What's going on with Lawyer Li?" Fang Yi asked after taking a sip of tea.

"You take a look at this first." Sun Zhengyi handed a criminal verdict to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi was dumbfounded after reading it. He raised his head and looked at Director Sun and said, "Isn't this a nonsense? Li Mingbo is a lawyer, how could he become a state agency employee? There is something wrong with the determination of the facts of this case!"

"Yes! I asked Zhao Zhongcheng to represent me in the first trial, but the court in Henan Province ruled this way. I have asked Zhao Zhongcheng to prepare an appeal. But Zhao Zhongcheng was not sure, so I came to find you." Sun Zhengyi He said with a helpless look.

"Where is Lawyer Li now?" Fang Yi asked.

"He is being held in a detention center in a county below Henan Province. The verdict was received yesterday. Fang Yi! We are not outsiders. Zhao Zhongcheng is not confident in this case. I can only count on you. We will cover the travel expenses. If necessary The legal fees will be paid by Zhengyi Law Firm," Director Sun said.

Masayoshi Son is aware of Fang Yi's professional ability. If even Fang Yi can't do anything about Lee Myung-bak's criminal case, Masayoshi Son will not have to go to anyone else and will have to admit it. Lee Myung-bak's legal career can only go so far.

"Okay, I've accepted Lee Myung-bak's case, but I can't guarantee that the first-instance verdict will be reversed. Just pay the lawyer's fees!" Fang Yi said. In front of Sun Zhengyi, Fang Yi was a bit reluctant to talk about legal fees, especially the legal fees borne by Sun Zhengyi.

"We are all lawyers, and I understand. I will go to Li Mingbo's family and tell them. You'd better tell me the legal fees. Just set them according to your daily charging standards." Director Sun said.

If he was given too much, Sun Zhengyi was a bit reluctant to give up. If he was given too little, he was afraid that Fang Yi would look down on him and say he was picky, so Sun Zhengyi simply gave the decision-making power back to Fang Yi.

"Let's do this. I'll charge you a friendly price of 10,000 yuan. Look..." Fang Yi said and looked at Director Sun opposite.

If it were other colleagues, Fang Yi would need at least 50,000 yuan to start, because this kind of case is related to a lawyer's professional career. It's hard to estimate how much a lawyer's job is worth, so 50,000 yuan is definitely worth it.

But now it is Li Mingbo who has been arrested, and Lawyer Li is having a romantic relationship with Fang Yi, a colleague. If Lawyer Li pays the legal fees himself, Fang Yi may be willing to ask for three to five thousand, but now the legal fees are paid by Justice Lawyer The firm will bear it. To put it bluntly, Sun Zhengyi will bear it. The legal fees have to be mentioned. For Sun’s sake, 10,000 yuan is definitely a friendly price.

What? No attorney fees? Fang Yi had this intention, but he didn't have the courage. He was afraid that someone would go to the Lawyers Association to complain about unfair competition. Every time you take a step, you gain wisdom!

"No problem. We will bear the travel expenses. You prepare the contract. I will bring Lee Myung-bak's wife over tomorrow morning to go through the formalities." Son Zhengyi immediately agreed.

Next day, Li Mingbo's wife went through the entrustment procedures with the help of Zhou Ying. Fang Yi originally planned to ask Zhao Zhongcheng about the case, but before he could speak, Director Sun gave Zhao Zhongcheng a draft description of the case and an appeal. The writ was handed over to him. Then Fang Yi sent Li Mingbo's wife and Director Sun, who were crying like peach, to leave the law firm.

On the same day, Fang Yi revised the appeal petition based on the description of the case and the content of the first-instance judgment, and called the county detention center in Henan Province to make an appointment for a meeting.

Two days later, Fang Yi got on the train to Henan Province. Sun Zhengyi had already booked the hotel. It was the best hotel in the local county. When you go out, you must stay in a good hotel with good food and safety first.

In the detention center, Fang Yi finally saw Li Mingbo. At this time, Li Mingbo had lost a lot of weight, with obvious dark circles under his eyes, a sad face, and was wearing a detention center vest.

At this time, Li Mingbo, who was sitting opposite Fang Yi, had eyes full of grief, helplessness, disappointment, and a glimmer of hope.

"Lawyer Li, what happened?" Fang Yi asked.

"Lawyer Fang, hey! Don't mention it..." Li Shuming told what happened in the past.

In April this year, Sun Zhengyi took on a criminal corruption case in Henan Province. It is said that Sun Zhengyi was able to sign this case with some luck.

The defendant’s surname in this case is Li Wen, and his parents are neighbors of Sun Zhengyi’s family. The Li family had been living and working in Henan Province until they retired the year before last, and the defendant's parents returned to the county.

The defendant Li Wen was the vice principal of a middle school in a county in Henan Province before he was arrested. Later, he was reported for corruption and was arrested by the public security department in March this year.

When the news came, the Li family couple panicked, so they found their neighbor Sun Zhengyi. When Sun Zhengyi heard that this was not a job, he took the case and signed the contract and paid everything smoothly. Later, the case was assigned to Lee Myung-bak.

Mr. Li told Lawyer Li that he had two sons, and the one who was arrested was his second son. His eldest son was called Li Yong, who also worked in Henan Province. When the time came, Li Yong could help book hotels and drive Lawyer Li to various departments. .

In this way, Li Mingbo became the defendant Li Wen's defender in the case of suspected corruption crimes, and went to the detention center in the county of Yu Province to meet with the defendant Li Wen. At this time, because the case was under investigation, Lee Myung-bak could not read the case and returned to the law firm.

More than two months later, the county procuratorate filed a public prosecution against Li Wen in the county people's court for corruption, and handed over five copies of the main evidence in the case, totaling 378 pages.

After that, Li Yong learned that his brother's case had reached the court, so he contacted Li Mingbak and informed him of the relevant situation. Lee Myung-bak then contacted the court to confirm that the case file had been transferred, and made an appointment with the presiding judge to go to the county court to review the file one day later.

On the day of review, Li Yong drove Li Mingbo to the county court, accompanied by Li Wen's son Li Youpeng. Then Li Yong and Li Youpeng followed Li Mingbo to the filing court of the county court.

After Lee Myung-bak submitted the entrustment procedures to the court, he lent the main evidence materials in the Lee Moon corruption case that the public prosecution agency had transferred to the court and sent them to the copy department for copying.

After the copying was completed, the three of them walked out of the court and returned to the car. Li Yong and Li Youpeng asked Li Mingbo to see the evidence materials in Li Wen's corruption case. The case file materials were given to Li Yong and Li Youpeng.
