Lawyer's character

"I think Lawyer Fang is quite professional. He handled Yu Sanqiang's previous case. He has rich experience and is easy to communicate with. What do you think?" After Zhou Jiangyong finished speaking, he looked at Ai Yajie.

"But Lawyer Fang can only defend Da Meng for minor crimes, and the legal fees are not low... How about letting Lawyer Zhang try again?" Ai Yajie bit her lip and lowered her head.

"At the first trial, Lawyer Zhang defended Da Meng's innocence, but the court refused to admit it at all. Moreover, Lawyer Zhang's words were cloudy and foggy. I think Lawyer Fang is more reliable." Zhou Jiangyong retorted.

"Actually, Lawyer Zhang has changed his profession. We don't understand because he is a lawyer and we are not." Ai Yajie replied.

"Do you think Lawyer Zhang's fees are low, that's why you say this? Da Meng was sentenced to ten years in the first trial. This is not a matter of saving money. If you don't have enough money, I will make up for it." Zhou Jiangyong stared at Ai Ya. Jie, said.

"Brother, that's not what I meant..." Ai Yajie looked embarrassed.

When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Fang Yi received a call from Yu Sanqiang.

"Mr. Yu, what's wrong?" Fang Yi asked.

"Lawyer Fang, I went to see your Zhou Jiangyong this afternoon. He called me just now and said that you are very professional, but... the fee is a little high." Yu Sanqiang said.

Fang Yi smiled: "Mr. Yu, how much do you think he can accept?"

"What do you think of the lawyer's fee of 100,000 yuan? Can you accept it?" Yu Sanqiang asked tentatively.

"One hundred thousand... Okay, we are all friends, I will give in." Fang Yi said with difficulty.

Yu Sanqiang opened his mouth. His brother's company is a big customer of the team. Fang Yi felt that he could give him this face. In fact, Fang Yi had left room for bargaining when bidding, but he didn't expect Yu Sanqiang to give it. The price deducts one-third of the legal fees.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Zhou Jiangyong." After Yu Sanqiang hung up the phone, he rubbed his face vigorously and muttered: "Damn! This happened. I originally wanted Lawyer Fang to owe me a favor, but now it's good I owe Lawyer Fang a favor."

The next morning, Zhou Jiangyong and Ai Yajie came to the law firm again, went through the entrustment procedures with Fang Yi, and paid 100,000 yuan in legal fees. Zhou Jiangyong has only one condition: his brother's case must be handled by Fang Yi himself and cannot be handed over to other lawyers.

…

One day later, Fang Yi took Yun Qiao to the detention center in the county below Beibian City to meet the defendant Zhou Jiangmeng. The incident described by Zhou Jiangmeng was similar to what Qian Yi knew.

"Lawyer Fang, I have never stolen anything since I was a child. I don't understand. How can picking up a bankbook be considered theft? I was sentenced to ten years... and I refuse to accept it!" Zhou Jiang frowned fiercely. A depressed look on his face.

"Well, I also think that the court made a mistake in applying the law when convicting you of the crime of theft, and the crime was inappropriate. But you did commit a crime." Fang Yi said.

"What? It constitutes a crime. That's not what the previous lawyer said. He said that it did not constitute a crime, and I refunded all the money that was due..." Zhou Jiangmeng was a little confused.

In his heart, he complained about his wife and brother: How come the lawyers they found were more powerful than the other, and when they first came up, they said that I had committed a crime, couldn't they find a more professional one?

"You picked up a passbook. This in itself does not constitute a crime, because a passbook only contains a few pieces of paper. Even if you don't hand it over, you can't pick up the money. At most, people will say that you have moral problems. After all, everyone has a selfish side. .

But you took out the money in the passbook by guessing the password and kept it for yourself. If the victim hadn't called the police and the police had solved the case and arrested you, would you have returned the money to the victim? The victim is an ordinary employee. Have you ever thought about how many years it will take to save more than 100,000?

Do you still think you are innocent? Do you think the police made a mistake in arresting you?

If you keep thinking this way, the second-instance court will definitely think that you are unrepentant and have a problem with your guilty plea attitude when sentencing. Even if the court accepts my defense opinion and changes the crime, it will be difficult to give a lighter sentence.

Judging from the amount of crime, your criminal proceeds are huge. The sentencing standard is fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years. I think you should be clear about what this means. Remember, it is you who will end up in jail and suffer the consequences, not others.

If you think what I say is unpleasant, you can ask to change your lawyer and find another lawyer to defend you not guilty. Give it a try. I can only plead guilty to a lesser crime for you, but I cannot plead not guilty according to your wishes. "After Fang Yi finished speaking, he stared at him, waiting for him to express his position.

Nest grass! This lawyer is very bold and personable.

Zhou Jiangmeng was stunned. He did not want to spend ten years in jail. During the first trial, his lawyer defended him not guilty. He confessed to the crime, but believed that he did not commit a crime. As a result, the court sentenced him to ten years for theft.

The second trial was his chance. He said he was not guilty, but he kept beating the drum in his heart. What if, as the middle-aged lawyer in front of him said, the second trial court would change the charge but the sentence would not be changed... How would he survive these ten years in prison? Ah, when the wife runs away, the family will be broken up.

Zhou Jiangmeng's eyes began to flicker. He didn't dare to try. Who the hell could stand this if he tried for ten years?

Yun Qiao, who was sitting next to Fang Yi, opened her eyes wide and looked at her master and Zhou Jiangmeng across from her in surprise. This was the first time she had seen Fang Yi speak like this since she followed her master in handling cases, and she was shocked.

"Fang...Lawyer Fang, I didn't mean that. I'm just a big boss. I've been locked up for such a long time. I'm so stressed. I want to get out early. I won't change lawyers. I'll listen to you. You have to help me." Help me." Zhou Jiang was convinced.

Hearing what he said, Fang Yi felt much relieved.

After walking out of the detention center, Yun Qiao took a deep breath and said, "Master, you really scared me in there just now. I was really afraid of the stupid guy opposite and asked for a lawyer directly."

"Actually, I'm afraid he'll say that, but there's nothing I can do about it. If a criminal lawyer is led by the defendant and is always passive, do you think we can handle this case?" Fang Yi took out his cigarette case and took it. After taking out a cigarette and lighting it, he turned to look at Yun Qiao.

"Well, it's better not to do anything. If the defendant listens to everything, the value of the lawyer will be reduced. In the end, the defense will have no effect. The client may even have to scold the lawyer. The lawyer will also damage his own brand.

Master, I learned another trick from you. Yun Qiao said seriously.

"What you learn in school is book knowledge, and what you learn in sociology is the way of survival. It is different. The big classroom of society does not care about scores, but you have been studying for scores since you were in elementary school at the age of six until you graduated from graduate school. Struggle, you have now changed from a student to a self-reliant social person, and your thoughts must change as soon as possible.

Although there is no test score in society, everything you deal with is an assessment of you. Society is a hundred times crueler than school.

You must be pragmatic, think more and talk less about everything, and throw away those useless, sophisticated, fake and empty nonsense that seems to be the truth. "Fang Yi looked at Yun Qiao. He didn't know why he said so much to this young apprentice. Maybe it was because of Yun Mei.
