Lawyer's character

"Eighty thousand..., you see, I have to bear all the legal fees for my cousin's case.

Business has been hard to do in the past few years. My stall is very large and cash is very tight... Is this okay? I'll give you 40,000. There is also a lot of French Lafite Treasures dry red wine in the wine cellar of my villa. , I’ll get you eight bottles, what do you think? Liu Min rolled his eyes and said.

Fang Yi defended herself well during the first trial, and Zhuang Wenjing was acquitted. Liu Min was very satisfied. She felt that the legal fees paid for the first trial were worth it. If the other party appealed, she felt that her cousin's case had a high probability of winning the second instance, and she would be more confident if she continued to entrust the case to Fang Yi, so she proposed the entrustment of the second instance.

But she didn't want to pay so much cash. Cash was king these days, and she didn't feel at ease if she didn't keep some money in her hand, so she came up with the idea of ​​using wine to offset part of the lawyer's fees.

"Two more bottles, ten bottles! Plus 40,000 yuan in legal fees. But we can only issue you an invoice of 40,000 yuan, because the cash we received is only 40,000 yuan." Fang Yi thought for a while.

Fang Yi knew the French Lafite treasure dry red wine that Liu Min was talking about. He and Li Shuming had drank it before at Glory, and he also heard Li Shuming introduce it. There are two types of Lafite: Grand Lafite and Petit Lafite.

Grand Lafite, translated as: French Château Lafite dry red wine in China. The "82-year-old Lafite" we often refer to is actually a vintage of French Chateau Lafite dry red wine.

The market price of Grand Lafite is generally between 10,000 and 20,000, with older ones being more expensive. 1982 Lafite, because it is relatively famous, the market price is also relatively expensive, usually around 100,000 per bottle, and the quantity is small, so you need to wait for delivery.

The translation of Little Lafite in China is: French Lafite Treasure Dry Red Wine. In comparison, the price of Little Lafite is relatively affordable, but it is not cheap either. The price is about 4,000 to 5,000 yuan per bottle.

Fang Yi thought about it: Ten bottles of Lafite cost 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. Since the wine was used to offset the lawyer's fees, he had to round up the sum.

"Okay, it's settled. Once the other party appeals, I will come over to you to sign the authorization formalities. The lawyer's fee is 40,000 yuan. I will give you the wine. I will take you to Yunmei's tea house then." Liu Mind said.

"Okay." Fang Yi nodded. He believed that Liu Min would not lie to him, because she still had to continue the commission in the second trial.

A few days after the first-instance criminal judgment was issued, the procuratorate filed a protest in Zhuang Wenjing's intentional injury case. The family members of the plaintiff Deng Gang in the attached civil lawsuit also filed an appeal on the grounds that the facts found in the original judgment were unclear and Zhuang Wenjing's behavior did not constitute legitimate defense. Request to change the sentence to Zhuang Wenjing to bear criminal liability and civil compensation liability.

On the day after learning of the Procuratorate's protest, Liu Min and Zhuang Wenhai drove to Fang Yi to sign the second-instance commission procedures. Liu Min kept his word and handed over ten bottles of Lafite to Yunmei.

Fang Yi originally wanted to leave a few bottles for Yunmei, but Yunmei refused. Yunmei felt that this was the wine given to Fang Yi by Liu Min. It was not good for her to pluck Yan Guo. To be honest, her family had a big business, so she did not miss these bottles of wine.

Fang Yi rarely drinks alcohol nowadays, probably because he is middle-aged and prefers tea. He gave all ten bottles of Lafite given by Liu Min to Li Shuming. After Li Shuming's appraisal, they were all genuine.

Li Shuming knew that it was not easy for Fang Yi to earn some legal fees by running around all day, so he wanted to give Fang Yi a discount, but Fang Yi refused. It is true that Fang Yi helped Li Shuming back then, but Li Shuming has also helped Fang Yi in recent years. People can't always talk about the past, otherwise it will annoy others.

Fang Yi and Zhou Ying were busy again, preparing for the second trial.

On this day, Lawyer Zhao from Hua Liancheng's team came to Fang Yi's office.

"Lawyer Fang, are you free tomorrow?" Lawyer Zhao asked.

"What's the matter? There are no arrangements yet." Fang Yi was looking for cases and raised his head and asked.

"We recently received a criminal case. It's not a big case. However, several lawyers in the team and I have different opinions on the issue of determining the victim's fault. I would like to ask you to discuss it together." Lawyer Zhao said.

The non-litigation professional level of the Hua Liancheng team is better than that of the Wanke Law team, but the litigation aspect is relatively weak. There is nothing we can do about this, and it has something to do with the bosses of the two teams.

Hua Liancheng has a background in non-litigation. In his early years as a partner in Red Circle, he worked on many IPOs and mergers and reorganization projects. Later, out of trust, clients also approached him for litigation business, and he established a litigation department. But he has never been able to find a like-minded, leading, and highly professional litigation lawyer. Therefore, the professional level of the litigation lawyers in his team is neither high nor low. Every time he encounters a problem, he always asks for help.

Wan Kefa is a litigation lawyer. In his early years, because of his rebellious personality and disagreements with his parents, he went to practice in the capital. After practicing in the capital for three or four years, his father caught him by the ears and forced him to marry his current wife. . Later, with the help of his professional ability and the relationship with his parents and parents-in-law, he soon established a firm foothold in the local area.

Wanke Law's professional capabilities are not to be boasted. In the past few years, it has handled many major and important cases, and many of them have become guiding cases of the Supreme Court for reference and application by various courts.

Wan Kefa has been a visiting professor at many well-known universities locally and in Beijing, teaching corporate law and criminal law, which is very influential. It's just that in recent years, I have turned down the job because of my age and poor health, which gives people a feeling of being discharged and returning to work.

Fang Yi knew a little about Wan Kefa, most of which he heard from Lao Huang when he was chatting with him.

"No problem. What time will it be tomorrow? Send me a copy of the case information first, and I will study it first." Fang Yi readily agreed.

Fang Yi knows that Lawyer Zhao is a pragmatic person and doesn't like those empty-headed things. Since he said discussing the case, he must be discussing the case and not include a lot of nonsense in it.

Fang Yi is not a holy mother. He can help colleagues, have many friends, and have many paths. He may be useful to others one day, and his path will become wider and wider in the future. This is his true thought.

"I will bring you a copy of the case file in a moment. Let's go upstairs at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. I have already reserved a conference room." Lawyer Zhao said.

In the afternoon of the next day, in the conference room of the law firm, Lawyer Zhao and others from Fang Yi and Hua Liancheng's team were watching the projection.

"The case we are discussing today is a case of intentional injury. The defendant we represent is named Li Zhiguo, a villager from a village below this city. The story of the case is like this..." Lawyer Zhao controlled the mouse to adjust the projection content while narrating. .

Li Zhiguo, male, 48 years old, from Lijia Village. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he originally wanted to go work with his fellow villagers, but due to inspections from above, many real estate construction sites in the city were ordered to stop work due to lack of formalities.
