Lawyer's character

"Is this okay? What if the other party doesn't pay the legal fees later..." Fang Yi looked at Wan Kefa doubtfully. He had suffered such a loss before.

"Don't worry, I signed two contracts. One is a contract for a criminal case worth 500,000 yuan; the other is a legal advisory contract with a lawyer's fee of 1.7 million yuan. The total amount of lawyer's fees for the two contracts is 2.2 million yuan. , but the legal advisory contract does not require payment immediately, but is limited to half a year.

If the criminal case you handle does not achieve the expected results, we will terminate the legal advisory contract. Although it is a verbal agreement, both parties are people on the scene, so there is still credibility. So the focus is on you. "Wan Kefa said with a smile.

"After signing the legal advisory contract, do I have to provide legal services to the other party? If he terminates the legal advisory contract within half a year, we will lose money." Fang Yi looked at the fat old man in confusion. He felt that the fat old man should not be so stupid. .

"You are overthinking. There is an agreement in the legal consultant contract that services will not be provided unless payment is made. Moreover, the company used by the other party to sign the contract is a newly established trading company and is used for accounting purposes, so there is no legal requirement.

The other party won't come to us, they are all face-to-face people who know what to do. Although there are many service items written in the legal consulting contract, basically no company can use them. "Wan Kefa chuckled.

"That's it! It's better for you to act safely." Fang Yi gave a thumbs up to the fat old man.

"The following is up to you. I've briefly looked at the case and haven't studied it in detail, but I feel that there should still be opportunities.

Tomorrow morning, the other party will send someone to deliver the case file materials, and the defendant's daughter-in-law will come with her to sign the authorization formalities. She only knows how to go shopping and walk her dog. You probably won't be able to get anything out of her. You'd better look at the case file. If you have time, go to the detention center and ask the defendant. "

After saying that, Wan Kefa put his hands in the water and washed his face: "It's getting late, I'll go back first. You guys have fun."

Fang Yi understands that if this case is solved, it will not only cost 2.2 million in legal fees, but the team may also get a big client. If the case is not handled well or the client's requirements are not met... let's focus on the present first. , look at the case file and then talk.

The next morning, Fang Yi followed Wan Kefa to the conference room upstairs.

Sure enough, as the fat old man said, the defendant's wife was a fashionably dressed lady, wearing designer sunglasses. She looked to be in her thirties, with very charming makeup, and she was holding a puppy.

Fang Yi didn't know what breed the dog was, but it looked like it couldn't hold enough for a plate of food. It was thin and small.

During the process of going through the entrustment procedures, the defendant's wife kept playing with the puppy, as if she was not here to go through the entrustment procedures, but to go shopping.

A man named Assistant Li came with the fashionable lady. He handed over the case file materials to Fang Yi, and Fang Yi chatted with him for a while. Assistant Li knew very little about the case and was probably sent here temporarily to handle the matter.

After sending the two of them off, on the way back to the office, Zhou Ying said with a displeased look on her face: "You can tell by looking at that woman that she is not a good bird. Her husband has been imprisoned, and she acts like a normal person, hugging her son all day long. barking. And not afraid of getting rabies."

"Dogs are more valuable than people these days." Fang Yi said helplessly: "Okay, leave her alone. You make an appointment to meet at the detention center. The case has been appealed. It is estimated that there will be a letter from the Provincial High Court soon. You can contact Come on, mail the procedures, and we’ll go to the Provincial High Court to read the papers.”

In the afternoon of the next day, Fang Yi and Zhou Ying drove to the detention center in Beibian City to meet Yu Sanqiang, the defendant in the loan fraud case.

Yu Sanqiang in the detention center is not tall, but rather fat, with a big head and a big face. He looks somewhat like Maitreya in the temple. His eyes were a little gloomy, and his whole person felt very depressed.

"Hello, we are Wanhua United Law Firm..." Fang Yi was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"I know, you are the lawyers hired by my brother Yu Sangen, right?"

After saying that, Yu Sanqiang straightened his back, moved his shoulders, and said with a look of disdain: "Lawyer Ma was the legal advisor of my brother's company. He has no shortage of local connections and connections. He doesn't brag when he sees me. , as a result, I was sentenced to ten years, but he made a lot of legal fees."

It can be heard that he has a lot of resentment towards the previous lawyer. It is probably because the previous lawyer boasted and the matter was not done.

Fang Yi smiled: "I don't have Lawyer Ma's skills. I only work in the legal circle. It's hard to say whether the High Court can change the verdict. We can wait and see.

I will come to see you again after I have read the case file, and I will tell you the defense plan at that time. Before that, I hope you can cooperate and let me know the truth.

If you want to spend your vacation there, I don't care, you're the one spending the money anyway. "

After speaking, Fang Yi hugged his arms and looked at Yu Sanqiang with a smile, waiting for him to express his stance. You can't tolerate this kind of client. If he "takes" it and leads you by the nose, the case will be unsolvable.

"Bullshit! This isn't a nightclub. I'll tell you..., aren't you afraid that I'll ask to change lawyers?" Yu Sanqiang looked Fang Yi up and down, feeling that the middle-aged male lawyer in front of him was a bit interesting, and he actually dared to quarrel with him.

Ever since Yu Sanqiang started driving the Daben, he has basically been surrounded by licking dogs. He is the only one who can criticize others. Even his younger brother Yu Sangen wants to give him three points. Unexpectedly, he met a "hunger who is not stingy" today. lawyer.

"It's your right to change your lawyer, and I can't stop you if you want to change your lawyer. But before you change your lawyer, I still have to do what you need to do. This is my obligation.

By the way, there is a stipulation in the entrustment agreement that if one party breaks the contract, there will be no refund. I have to make it clear to you!

If you keep grinding, the time is up. If you really don't want to say it, I'll leave. "Fang Yi finished speaking seriously, pushing the entrustment procedure in front of him to the other party, waiting for the other party to express his position.

"Okay, you are awesome! Since you are willing to listen, I will chat with you..." With that, Yu Sanqiang picked up the pen and signed the entrustment formalities.

Being arrested this time made Yu Sanqiang understand a truth: A good lawyer can be good everywhere, but a lawyer who follows behind him all day long and acts like a dog licker, and is willing to take money when he sees it, actually can't do anything.

If Fang Yi talks kindly and softly to him, maybe he will really ask for a change of lawyer. After being scolded, he feels that Fang Yi is awesome. Isn't this "cheap"!

Yu Sanqiang has no education. He started to enter the society after graduating from junior high school. In his early years, he worked in the urban-rural fringe area to recycle renewable resources. The common saying is that he collects rags along the street, which belongs to the category of "sell the empty bottles when the wine is dry".

Later, he discovered that disposing of steel was more profitable than collecting junk, but he had no other choice. Finally, he hired a few people to make steel and iron bars in his own scrap collection station. Later, when the country renovated strip steel, he made a fortune and transferred the scrap purchasing business out.
