Lawyer

Chapter 230 Too much nonsense!

In a five-star hotel, on the sofa in the big hotel suite rented out by Zhou Shen, Fang Yi, Zhou Shen and a 50-year-old man with back hair, ruddy face and a little rosacea sat face to face.

"Mr. Tong, you said on the phone that your brother's case has already been heard. How did the court decide?" Zhou Shen looked at the man with rosacea and asked.

"Yesterday, in the court judgment, the court found that my brother constituted a crime of fraud and sentenced him to 15 years in prison and a fine of 100 million; he was also ordered to refund his illegal gains.

I don't think the lawyer he hired is good enough.

Lawyer Zhou, we are all old friends, I am not saying that lawyers are bad in front of you and your younger brother.At that time, I went to attend the trial, and the lawyer sat on it and didn't say much at all, just read it according to the script and it was over.

That guy calls himself a barrister for criminal defense. Since he came here for delicious food, good drinks, and good hospitality, he drank a case of Moutai alone. As a result, it was nothing in court.

I don't even know where my brother and daughter-in-law got such a guy from.What a nonsense! "Mr. Tong said angrily with a look of disgust.

Mr. Tong's words made Fang Yi feel a little hot on his face. Although the other party was not talking about him, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Mr. Tong, don't you only have two younger sisters in your family? You are the defendant?" Zhou Shen didn't want to hear him complain, so he changed the subject and asked.

"The defendant is my brother. I had the best relationship with him back then. We played together since we were young. Later, the two of us worshiped him. At that time, we were really loyal, not like the fake ones now. We only see him money.

When I was bullied at school, it was my brother who came forward to help me regain face.Later, when I came out of the system to do business, I didn't have much savings, so he gave me the capital.The relationship between the two of us is closer than brothers. "Mr. Tong said.

"You brother Ba is really interesting!" Fang Yi agreed with his voice.

"That is, my brother is not only interesting, but also smart. He is also a well-known entrepreneur in our city. A long time ago, he bought an industrial land in the suburbs, built a factory and started a processing plant. There are more than 500 workers in the factory. There are a lot of various titles, and it is really booming for a while.

In the past few years, his business management has not been very good, and he has been reciting words.Not only was he accused again, but he was also sentenced.There is an old saying, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, it is true!
We are old friends, and I will not hide it from you. After the court sentenced, his wife came to me crying and asked me to help find a lawyer to appeal.Then I remembered you. "Mr. Tong said.

"Well, the appeal period is only ten days, so it needs to be settled as soon as possible.

Attorney Fang has a doctorate in criminal law, and I won't mention it if he is far away. He has handled a lot of criminal cases in the past two years. He was responsible for a case of "retaining people under the knife" in the city before, and he has handled many criminal cases later. All defense cases were won.You can find them all online. "Zhou Shen introduced.

What Zhou Shen said is true, there is no need to mention "far away", and there is nothing to mention. At that time, Fang Yi was teaching in a university, and it was embarrassing to mention it.

"Lawyer Fang, I don't know much about the lawyer circle. Lawyer Zhou is my company's legal adviser. He recommended you to me. I think you must have real skills. You have taken care of this case. The second trial is really important to my brother. .” Mr. Tong looked at Fang Yi eagerly.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best. But I can't give you any guarantees. I need to read the case file first before making a judgment." Fang Yi was more cautious in accepting the case.

"This..." Mr. Tong was startled, and looked at Zhou Shen.

He thought that Fang Yi would categorically tell him that there was nothing wrong with the case, or comfort him, but he didn't expect to hear such words, and his heart sank again.

"Mr. Tong, Attorney Fang is very down-to-earth, very cautious in handling cases, and won't fool people.

I don’t think it’s better than this. You entrust him to meet with him first, and then analyze whether the case is hopeful after taking the case file. If Attorney Fang feels that the case has no chance, you can terminate the entrustment.

Of course, the lawyer's fee can also be paid in two installments. The first payment is for the meeting and file analysis of the case, and the second payment is for the defense in court. What do you think?
At least the case has been appealed, and there is still time to change lawyers before the trial. "Zhou Shen said.

"Well, I think it's okay. I don't know how lawyer Fang pays his legal fees? My brother's family is in a bit of a difficult situation. To tell you the truth, I have to pay for the legal fees for the second trial." Mr. Tong said miserably.

"Your brother was sentenced to 15 years by the court in the first instance. It would be a great joy if the acquittal was reversed. Even if the acquittal cannot be reversed, a few years less sentence will save him from suffering a few years.

We are all old friends. The lawyer’s fee is 10 yuan. For the first time, you pay 8 yuan. After lawyer Fang reads the case file and confirms that the case can be done, before the trial, you pay the remaining [-] yuan to the lawyer. Fei, what do you think?
Of course, you can terminate the entrustment before paying the second legal fee, and the remaining legal fee will not be paid.However, once all fees are paid and you terminate the entrustment, the attorney fee will not be refunded. "Zhou Shen thought for a while and said.

Tong is always Zhou Shen's client, and Zhou Shen earns more and more legal fees from Tong's head office every year, so he doesn't want to offend his client.This arrangement also gave Fang Yi and President Tong a chance to choose again.

"Okay, when will you sign the contract and work?" Tong is always a happy person, seeing what Zhou Shen said, he agreed. If the case is really hopeless, it will save time and have the opportunity to find another lawyer to represent him.

"You can sign the agreement at any time, the agreement is in my bag." Fang Yi said.When he came to the city this time, he asked Director Sun for a set of entrustment procedures for criminal cases. It would be best if he could sign on the spot, so as not to run back and forth.

"Well, I'll make the decision for my younger siblings, so I'll entrust Lawyer Fang to do it. We are fastidious people, and we must not lose you. Give me a bank account, and I'll send you the [-] lawyer's fee first.

My brother is now in the detention center. You and my brother and sister make an appointment to meet directly at the gate of the detention center. After signing the contract on the spot, you can enter the detention center to meet. It will not waste time and save you running back and forth. In case my brother has something to do , his daughter-in-law can also do it at that time, and it will only take ten days in total. We have to hurry up and move forward.

Lawyer Fang, do you think this is okay? "Mr. Tong said.

"Okay, you can give me your sister-in-law's phone number. I'll tell her after I make an appointment with the detention center." Fang Yi said.

Three days later, Fang Yi sat in the meeting room of the detention center and looked at a short and fat man in his 50s. This short and fat man was Mr. Tong's brother Hu Weijun.

"Hu Weijun, I'm Fang Yi, a lawyer from Zhengyi Law Firm. Do you know Li Feng?" Fang Yi asked.

"I know, she is my wife." Hu Weijun said lightly.

"Your lover Li Feng entrusted me to represent you in the second trial of your case, do you agree?" Fang Yi asked.

I thought he would say "agree" cooperatively and sign, but after Fang Yi finished speaking, Fang Yi was a little surprised by his performance.
