Lawyer's character

After the verdict of the first instance was announced, the public prosecution agency filed a protest as Fang Yi expected. Deng Junshan and Chen Xiaoling came to Sidley Law Firm to express their gratitude to Fang Yi and Cao Yongzheng, and to go through the entrustment procedures for the second instance. The second trial judge Fang Yi received 20,000 yuan.

During the second instance trial, Cao Yongzheng took the lead, with Fang Yi as an assistant, mainly supporting the case. Throughout the trial, Cao Yongzheng behaved quite well, but he was a little too nervous. Ordinarily, he is also a lawyer who has been practicing for more than three years, and has handled quite a few criminal cases. He has already passed the "green years", so he would not be so nervous about going to court. But sitting next to Fang Yi, he couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure, for fear of making a mistake that would cost Boss Fang. Be disappointed in yourself.

Sometimes people are like this. The higher the expectations for themselves, the greater the pressure. The greater the pressure, the harder they have to work.

Fortunately, the whole trial process went very smoothly. Fang Yi had been observing Cao Yongzheng's defense style and couldn't help but nod secretly. It seemed that Lawyer Zhao had taught this little fat man a lot before. Cao Yongzheng behaved very calmly and would not be messy or unclear. Every time Every speech was delivered to the point without dragging on.

Lawyers have different styles. Some talk endlessly in court and talk a lot of nonsense, with only one or two useful sentences. Most of them are not for the judge, but for the parties. They are called "fooling" lawyers. ; Some have great potential as actors, and their performance in court surpasses their professional abilities, and they are called "acting" people; there are also some lawyers who are impassioned and make people's hearts beat when they talk, but in the end they do not help the client at all. They are called "acting" lawyers. Chicken blood" pie.

Of course, there are also calm lawyers who don't talk nonsense or say radical words, giving people a very stable feeling, but they stick to the point every sentence, and they call themselves "professional". There is also a kind of radical lawyer who dares to say anything in court and is known as the "die-hard" lawyer. However, there are fewer and fewer such lawyers.

"Dead knock" is neither a compliment nor a derogatory term, it is a neutral term. There are two types of die-hard lawyers: the first type is die-hard lawyers who work hard for the innocence of their clients, commonly known as "one-minded" lawyers. Such lawyers have justice in their hearts and are admirable; the second type are die-hard lawyers who are They fight against everyone they meet, and they fight against everything. The final result is usually a letter of recommendation from the court, the lawyer's license is not guaranteed, and even the law firm's license is revoked. This is their style, and one word "fight" can sum it up. all.

Of course, there are also red-top lawyers. These lawyers are very arrogant, have really big connections, and always have their nostrils in the air. They may be very low-key, but they are low-key, not because they are modest, but because they feel that other lawyers are not of a good enough standard and are not playful.

Lawyers who have not been open for a year but have been open for more than three years belong to this type of lawyer. I never handle small cases, because the cost is not enough. What is the cost has to be carefully considered. However, this type of lawyer has an advantage. As long as the money is available, they can talk about anything, but they are not needed in most cases. The Red Top Sect pays more attention to integrity, because integrity is their foundation and is more important than professionalism.

In this small circle of lawyers, there are hundreds of thousands of lawyers, there are many factions, and there are all kinds of strange things!

A lawyer's style is related to his master and personal character, as well as to the law firm's environment and personal experience. Fang Yi doesn't want to have a "challenging" lawyer in his team.

In the end, the collegial panel of the second instance pronounced its verdict in court, ruling to reject the protest and uphold the original verdict.

After the verdict was announced, Deng Junshan and his wife hugged each other and cried. Fang Yi pulled Cao Yongzheng, who was standing aside stupidly, and the two of them went back to the law firm without saying hello to Deng Junshan.

…

The weather is getting colder day by day, and the leaves are turning yellow. It has been more than half a month since I moved to the new office. Fang Yi had nothing to do this day and planned to go to Ma Yi's office. When he arrived in front of the door, he saw only the door. It was open, the desk was empty, the bookshelf was empty, no one was there.

Fang Yi thought he had remembered it wrong, and looked up at the nameplate. It was Ma Yi's office. Did he change his office?

He went to Huang Yuanchao's office. Huang was wearing reading glasses and leaning on the table to read the case files.

"Old Huang, why is there no one in Ma Yi's office? Has the office changed?" Fang Yi asked as he walked in.

"You don't know?" Huang Yuanchao raised his head and saw Fang Yi, leaning on the chair and asked doubtfully.

"What do you know?" Fang Yi had a bad premonition.

"Ma Yi resigned and opened his own law firm with a few people. He moved out yesterday." Huang Yuanchao took off his reading glasses, rubbed his hands vigorously on his face, and said.

"Resign? Why?" Fang Yi asked in surprise.

"I'm not too sure." Huang Yuanchao said hesitantly: "Yesterday when Ma Yi came to move things, I went to see you and wanted to have a meal together. Zhou Ying told me that you went to Linshi for a court session and were not here."

"Well, there was a criminal case in Linshi yesterday, and I didn't get home until evening. Ma Yi has been doing a good job, why did he suddenly think of opening his own law firm?" Fang Yi was puzzled.

"Isn't that what law firms are like? People coming and going, solid lawyers and smooth lawyers." It was obvious that Huang Yuanchao was a little lonely.

Ma Yi, an old friend who had worked together for many years, left, which had a great impact on Huang Yuanchao.

Seeing Huang Yuanchao like this, Fang Yi knew that there was something on his mind, but it was inconvenient to tell him, so he chatted for a while and went to the director's office. Wan Kefa must know the specific situation.

In the director's office, Wan Kefa was making tea without saying a word. It was obvious that he was helpless, regretful, and even a little sad about Ma Yi's departure.

"Lao Wan, I think it's best to talk things out. Both you and Lao Huang are like this. I feel like I'm being kept in the dark, which is not good." Seeing that he didn't speak, Fang Yi continued: " Is it because of me?”

Since neither Lao Huang nor the fat old man told the truth, there was only one reason. Ma Yi left Sidley Law Firm because of himself. But after thinking about it, Fang Yi realized that he had been busy with the case and the team, and had not gotten together with Ma Yi and Huang Yuanchao for a long time. It seemed that he had not offended Ma Yi! Suddenly it dawned on him that it must be about being promoted to first-level partner.

"Xiao Fang, everyone has their own ambitions, so don't ask." Wan Kefa sighed.

"Lao Wan, you know me. If I don't understand this matter, I will feel uncomfortable and will never be able to overcome this hurdle." Fang Yi looked at him.

"Ma Yi has always wanted to be a first-level partner. After we established Sidley Austin Law Firm this time, he was a little dissatisfied with being promoted to a second-level partner. Later, you transferred and became a first-level partner directly. He was very supportive. big.

I talked to him several times, but there was nothing I could do... Life is a journey, and sometimes friends disappear while walking. You don’t have to worry too much, it’s all fate.

Something will occur if it belongs to your life, if not, do not push it. "Wan Kefa said it freely, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
