Lawyer's character

Huang Yuanchao's cousin was about sixty years old, tall, with a big dark face, deep wrinkles on his forehead, a bit of a hunchback, and a preoccupied look.

Next to him sat a woman in her thirties, with big hands and feet, a strong body, and dark skin. She looked a little restrained when she sat there.

"Lawyer Fang, this is my cousin Liu Anzhong. Cousin, this is Lawyer Fang that I mentioned to you before. Please tell Lawyer Fang about Mengzi. You guys can talk. I'm downstairs. If you have anything to say, Make a call." After introducing both parties, Huang Yuanchao left the conference room. He was reluctant to get involved in the Liu family's affairs.

"Mr. Liu, I heard from Lawyer Huang that your son is suspected of negligent death. Can you tell me the specific situation?" Fang Yi looked at Liu Anzhong opposite and asked.

"This is my son Liu Meng's daughter-in-law, her name is Luo Yue. Let her tell you, she was also present when it happened." Liu Anzhong pointed to the woman sitting next to him and said.

After listening to Liu Anzhong's words, Fang Yi looked at Luo Yue.

"Lawyer Fang, this is not our fault. Our family raises more than thirty pigs. On the day of the accident, we drove our agricultural tricycle to the feed factory to pull pig feed..." Luo Yue recounted the incident with tears in her eyes. Told it once.

On the morning of the incident, Luo Yue and her husband drove the family's agricultural tricycle to pull feed. At the entrance of the village, they met Liu Liangzhu and three other people from the same village who were going to the county market.

They were all from the same village and knew each other. When Liu Liangzhu saw that the agricultural tricycle was empty, he offered to give it a ride. When Liu Meng went to the feed factory, he had to pass by the market place, so he readily agreed, and then Liu Liangzhu and the others got on the agricultural tricycle.

Liu Meng drove his agricultural tricycle through the village in front of him, and suddenly found someone from the Transportation Bureau checking passing vehicles on the roadside.

Liu Meng was shocked. He had not paid for his agricultural tricycle in the past few years, and there were three people sitting in the carriage. If he was caught, he would definitely be fined, and maybe the agricultural vehicle would also be impounded.

Liu Meng was frightened. After greeting Liu Liangzhu and others sitting in the carriage, he got off the highway and drove to the nearby village.

Liu Liangzhu and the others were going to the market, and Liu Meng planned to take a detour through the village to pull feed in order to avoid the inspection of the traffic control bureau. The two sides were not on the same road, so Liu Meng planned to park in front and let Liu Liangzhu and the others get off and catch another car. Go to the market.

Liu Meng parked the car next to a house in the village and asked Liu Liangzhu and the others to get out of the car. Two of the three people, Liu Liangzhu, were young and jumped out of the car. When Liu Liangzhu got out of the car, he accidentally grabbed the iron rod of the awning on the carriage that Liu Meng had welded by himself. As a result, he shuddered and fell directly from the car. At that time, he lost his breath.

Everyone was stunned. Liu Meng heard something was wrong behind him. He turned around and was startled. Just as he was about to go over to check the situation, he heard two young men from the same village who got off the car first, pointing to the wires on the car and shouting "there is electricity".

Liu Meng and his wife hurriedly got out of the car. When they looked up, they saw a wire hanging down above the carriage. The wire sheath of the wire had aged, and the exposed core of the wire happened to be resting on the iron pole of the agricultural tricycle's rain shelter.

This wire is led from the neighboring household to the household on the other side of the farm vehicle. It is a household line. (Note: The line connecting one user to another user is called a household line. This situation is more common in rural areas.)

Liu Meng hurriedly picked up a dry branch from the firewood pile nearby and broke the wire. The death was a big deal, so Liu Meng didn't dare to move the car and hurriedly called the police. Then the police car arrived at the scene and notified the power department to repair the line.

Liu Meng, his wife, and the two young people who were hitching a ride were taken to the public security organ. Later, Liu Meng's daughter-in-law Luo Yue and the young hitchhiker were released. Liu Meng was convicted of negligent death by the public security organ.

"This year is the birth year of our fierce son. I asked him to buy red underpants and red socks to wear to ward off evil spirits. He said that I was an old superstitious person and that he would be a good person this time.

I asked someone to check it out, and they said that my fierce son was too old in his zodiac year. Liu Anzhong sighed.

What Liu Anzhong said made Fang Yi confused for a moment. After being stunned for a moment, Fang Yi looked at Luo Yue: "How long has Liu Meng been imprisoned?"

"It's...almost two weeks." Luo Yue thought for a while and replied.

"Does your farm vehicle come with a rain cover when you buy it?" Fang Yi asked in confusion.

Agricultural tricycles are very common in the village, and many families have them. However, as far as Fang Yi knows, they generally do not have rain shelters.

"No, we welded the awning ourselves. Sometimes it was inconvenient to pick up the children when it rained, so we built the awning." Luo Yue explained.

"Lawyer Fang, in this case... how many years will our fierce son be sentenced?" Liu Anzhong interjected.

“This depends on the circumstances. According to the Criminal Law, anyone who negligently causes death shall be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years; if the circumstances are relatively minor, he shall be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years.

Regarding your Liu Meng case, in addition to listening to what his wife said, I also need to read the case files, meet with Liu Meng, and comprehensively judge the specific circumstances of the case before I can make a judgment. "Fang Yi explained.

"Oh, Lawyer Fang, look, we are all rough guys. If you handle this case, how much will it cost?" After Liu Anzhong asked, he looked directly at Fang Yi.

"If I handle this case, the lawyer's fee will be 80,000 yuan." Fang Yi asked for 80,000 yuan to leave room for bargaining by the other party.

Although this case involves personal casualties, the other party is an ordinary family. Although they may have made some money raising pigs, it is hard-earned money after all, and Fang Yi cannot ask for too much.

"Lawyer Fang, please let us think about it and write you a letter later, okay?" Liu Anzhong rolled his eyes, hesitated, and said.

"Okay, no problem. If the discussion is settled, write to me as soon as possible." Fang Yi was moved in his heart and thought to himself: Is the lawyer's fee going to be high?

After Fang Yi returned to the office, Huang Yuanchao walked in quickly before his butt was still hot from sitting.

"Old Fang, what do you think of this case?" Huang Yuanchao asked, blinking.

"I just have a rough idea. I need to read the case file before I can make a conclusion. What's wrong?" Fang Yi looked at him.

"Liu Anzhong called me just now and said that our law firm is quite big and you are very professional. He wants to entrust the case to you, but he thinks the legal fees are a bit high.

His family had previously compensated the deceased's family a lot of money... Let me ask if there is room for negotiation. "Huang Yuanchao's expression was a little unnatural.

Before, he had told Fang Yi to ask for legal fees however he wanted, and now he came to intercede for legal fees. Huang Yuanchao himself felt embarrassed. But his wife called, and he couldn't ignore it.

"No problem, just ask him if 50,000 yuan is okay." Fang Yi looked at Huang Yuanchao and said with a smile.

"Okay, let me ask." Huang Yuanchao agreed and left the office.

As soon as they went to work in the afternoon, Liu Anzhong and Luo Yue came to the law firm again. With the help of Yun Qiao, they went through the entrustment procedures and paid the first-instance lawyer fees.
