Lawyer's character

"Okay, let's sign for 20,000 yuan first." Xing Ping thought it was feasible. If Lawyer Fang believed that her son Xiangdong did not constitute a crime, it would be worth spending another 40,000 yuan to hire Lawyer Fang to defend him. Anyway, it would be better than a one-time payment. powerful.

Although the lawyers in the county and city also said so, Xing Ping felt that they were not as well-known, had many successful cases, and had good connections as the middle-aged lawyers in front of her. The most important thing is that those people all have a fixed price and cannot pay in installments. Xing Ping feels unsure.

After a while, Zhou Ying came to the conference room with the entrustment procedures and assisted Xing Ping in completing the entrustment procedures. After receiving the money, he had to work. Fang Yi hurriedly contacted the detention center in the county below BD City to make an appointment. Then he communicated with the inspector about the scoring and was busy until the end of the day.

One day later, Fang Yi met Xiang Dong in the detention center. Xiang Dong was in his twenties, had a short head, was thin, and had a relatively straight appearance. The facts of the case that Xiangdong told were very different from what his mother said.

"Do you know the charges the procuratorate has charged you with?" Fang Yi asked.

"I know, it's the crime of illegal business operations and the crime of buying and selling state agency certificates." After saying that, Xiangdong asked with a puzzled face: "Lawyer Fang, my original intention was only to buy my uncle's Internet cafe. The certificates and licenses are within the validity period. I don't have I’m operating illegally and I don’t have any state agency certificate. Do you think I am committing a crime?”

"Judging from what you just said, it should not be considered the crime of illegal business operations and the crime of buying and selling state agency documents. Your behavior is just a general business transfer, but you and your second uncle did not go through the formalities for changing the business.

I'm going to the procuratorate in the afternoon to review the case file. After reading the case file, I will formulate a final defense plan. If your mother entrusts me to be your defender, I will come to see you again and tell you the final defense plan. "Fang Yi said.

After leaving the detention center, Fang Yi ate a famous local donkey meat barbecue, took a short break at noon and went to the county procuratorate to review the case. Fang Yi discussed the case with Inspector Zhou who was in charge of the case, but found that the male prosecutor in front of him with glasses did not want to listen to his opinion at all. Without saying a few words, he urged Fang Yi to leave as soon as possible in the name of a meeting.

After coming out of the procuratorate, Fang Yi met Xiang Yaqiang's defense lawyer, Lawyer Zhao, under the recommendation of Xing Ping. Lawyer Zhao practices in a law firm in BD City. He is in his thirties and says he specializes in criminal cases. But after a chat, I found out that Lawyer Zhao does all kinds of cases and will accept anyone who can make money.

Moreover, during the communication process of the case, Fang Yi found that Lawyer Zhao was not very good at criminal cases, but was very interested in marriage and family cases.

After the two parties left their contact information, Fang Yi took the train and left Baoding.

Three days later, Xing Ping came to the law firm again. After listening to the defense plan, she knew that Fang Yi was going to defend her son's innocence. She felt confident, went through the procedures for entrusting a defense, and paid the lawyer's fees.

Fang Yi learned from Xing Ping that Xiangdong's case had been transferred to the county court. Fang Yi decided to go to the court to review the files in a few days to see what was in the final case file transferred by the procuratorate and whether there was any discrepancy with the previous review. In addition, he needs to go to the detention center to meet with Xiang Dong and explain his defense plan clearly.

Just two days before the trial, Xiang Yaqiang's defense lawyer, Lawyer Zhao, called Fang Yi and wanted to discuss the defense plan for the case before the trial and asked for a defense opinion from Xiang Dong.

Although it was the same case, the public prosecution charged Xiang Dong with the crime of illegal business operations and buying and selling state agency documents; while the charge against Xiang Yaqiang was only the crime of buying and selling state agency documents.

The two charges against the uncle and nephew were not exactly the same. There was no problem in communicating the defense plan, but lawyer Zhao came up and asked for defense opinions, which Fang Yi could not accept.

The defense opinion is the fruit of the lawyer's labor and the crystallization of the lawyer's wisdom. To put it simply, it is the lawyer's intellectual property rights. Fang Yi had only met Lawyer Zhao once and was not familiar with him, so how could he show it to him so easily.

Fang Yi was thinking while answering the phone: Why should I give you my defense opinion when Lawyer Zhao opens his mouth? What if you get my defense opinion, modify it, and use it to deceive the client? If your family doesn’t understand the situation, they think I plagiarized your defense opinion.

After much deliberation, Fang Yi finally refused to give it to Lawyer Zhao.

In fact, Lawyer Zhao does think so. In the past few days, Xiang’s family has been looking for Lawyer Zhao to see his defense opinions. However, Lawyer Zhao has been busy with a divorce case. Because the attorney fees for divorce cases are relatively high, he put All his energy was devoted to the divorce case, and only the trainee lawyer who followed him was following up on Xiang Jia's criminal case.

When Fang Yi introduced the defense plan to Xing Ping before, he explained it in detail, so Xing Ping trusted Fang Yi and did not ask to see the defense opinion, thinking it was not necessary.

When they got home, they communicated with each other. Xiang's second daughter-in-law felt that the lawyer Zhao she hired only said she would plead not guilty and asked her to go home and wait for the letter, and didn't say anything else.

Of the two lawyers, it’s hard to say which one has the higher professional level, but which one has a more serious and responsible attitude towards work, you can tell right away. So I called the second son's daughter-in-law and asked Lawyer Zhao to give her defense opinions, but Lawyer Zhao had to stall.

I have been pressed for a few days, and Lawyer Zhao was not satisfied with what the trainee lawyer wrote, so he came up with the idea of ​​borrowing a chicken to lay eggs. He wanted to read Fang Yi's defense opinions first, and then revise a version for Xiang's family, but But Fang Yi declined. Although Lawyer Zhao was unhappy, he couldn't say anything. After all, he was not his trainee lawyer, so he had to modify the version drafted by the trainee lawyer and send it to his family.

On the day of the trial, both Fang Yi and Lawyer Zhao were sitting at the defense table. They had asked for the defense opinions before, which made Lawyer Zhao very unhappy with Fang Yi. What made him even more unhappy was that he only charged 20,000 yuan in legal fees to defend Xiang Yaqiang, while Fang Yi charged 60,000 yuan in legal fees to defend Xiang Dong, three times that! He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's still a foreign monk who knows how to recite sutras!

Lawyer Zhao was very unconvinced: Isn’t there just one more crime? Just charge that much more. They have two shoulders and one head, why do you charge so much legal fees? snort! Maybe it's an embroidered pillow, with fancy packaging on the outside and straw on the inside.

Fang Yi was at the defense table preparing documents for the trial, not caring what Lawyer Zhao thought.

After so many years, Fang Yi has also come to understand that in life, you should live for yourself and your family. Don't care too much about other people's opinions, and don't think too much, because... what others think really has nothing to do with you. A dime relationship, unless it can bring you financial benefits.

There were not many people in the gallery, most of them were family members, and everyone was whispering, waiting for the court to start.
