Lawyer

Chapter 404

"Director, look at your sweating head, wipe it off quickly. Drink some water first, don't be in a hurry." Fang Yi put a cup of tea in front of Sun Zhengyi.

"Hey! That's what I said, why can't I be in a hurry. Li Mingbak's case happened in the office. It's no wonder that I, the director, are not in a hurry. Look at my lips, they are all blistered." Sun Zhengyi He took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his brow and said.

"What's the situation with Lawyer Li?" Fang Yi asked after taking a sip of tea.

"Look at this first." Sun Zhengyi handed Fang Yi a copy of the criminal verdict.

Fang Yi was also dumbfounded after reading it. He looked up at Director Sun and said, "Isn't this a random sentence? Li Mingbo is a lawyer, how did he become an employee of a state agency? There is a problem with the fact determination of this case!"

"That's right! I asked Zhao Zhongcheng to represent him in the first trial, but the court in Yu Province decided that way. I have already asked Zhao Zhongcheng to file an appeal. But Zhao Zhongzhong didn't know what to do, so I came to you." Sun Zhengyi Said helplessly.

"Where is Lawyer Li now?" Fang Yi asked.

"He was detained in the detention center in the county below Yu Province. The verdict was received yesterday. Fang Yi! We are not outsiders. Zhao Zhongzhong has no confidence in this case. I can only count on you. We will cover the travel expenses. Justice Law Firm will pay the legal fees," Director Sun said.

Sun Zhengyi knew Fang Yi's professional ability. If Fang Yi couldn't help Li Mingbo's criminal case, Sun Zhengyi would have to admit it instead of looking for others.Lee Myung-bak's career as a lawyer can only go so far.

"Okay, I'll take Li Mingbo's case, but I can't guarantee that the first-instance verdict will be overturned. Just pay the lawyer's fee!" Fang Yi said.In front of Sun Zhengyi, Fang Yi couldn't help talking about the lawyer's fee, especially the lawyer's fee was borne by Sun Zhengyi.

"We are all lawyers, and I understand that. Let me talk to Li Mingbo's family. You should just say the amount of the lawyer's fee. Just set it according to your daily fee standard." Director Sun said.

Sun Zhengyi was a bit reluctant to give too much, but if he gave too little, he was afraid that Fang Yi would look down on him and say he was picky, so Sun Zhengyi simply returned the decision-making power to Fang Yi.

"Well, I'll charge a friendly price of 1 yuan. Look..." Fang Yi said, looking at Director Sun who was opposite.

If it was other colleagues, Fang Yi would need at least 5 yuan to start, because this kind of case is related to a lawyer's career.It's hard to estimate how much a lawyer's job is worth, so 5 yuan is definitely worth it.

But now it is Li Mingbo who is being arrested, and Lawyer Li has a romantic relationship with Fang Yi's colleagues. If Lawyer Li pays the lawyer's fees himself, Fang Yi may be willing to pay three to five thousand yuan, but now the lawyer's fee is paid by the justice lawyer. The firm will bear it. To put it bluntly, Sun Zhengyi will bear it, so the legal fees will have to be mentioned. For the sake of Lao Sun, 1 yuan is definitely a friendly price.

What?No attorney fees?Fang Yi had the intention, but he didn't have the guts. He was afraid that someone would go to the Lawyers Association to complain about his unfair competition.Eat a ditch and gain a wisdom!

"No problem. We will bear the travel expenses. You prepare the contract. I will bring Li Mingbo's wife over tomorrow morning to go through the formalities." Sun Zhengyi said immediately.

Another day later, Li Mingbo's daughter-in-law went through the entrustment procedures with Zhou Ying's assistance. Fang Yi planned to ask Zhao Zhongzhong about the case, but before he could speak, Director Sun presented Zhao Zhongzhong's case statement and an appeal The certificate was handed over to him.Then Fang Yi sent Li Mingbo's daughter-in-law and Director Sun, who were crying like peaches, out of the law firm.

On the same day, Fang Yi revised the appeal petition based on the case description and the content of the first-instance judgment, and called the detention center in Yu Province to make an appointment for an interview.

Two days later, Fang Yi got on the train to Yu Province. Sun Zhengyi had already booked the hotel. It was the best hotel in the local county. When going out, you must stay in a good hotel. Safety comes first.

In the detention center, Fang Yi finally saw Li Mingbo. At this time, Li Mingbo had lost a lot of weight, with obvious dark circles, his face was full of sorrow, and he was wearing the vest of the detention center.

Li Mingbo, who was sitting opposite Fang Yi, had grief, indignation, helplessness, disappointment, and hope in his eyes.

"Lawyer Li, what happened?" Fang Yi asked.

"Lawyer Fang, hey! Don't mention it..." Li Shuming told the past.

In April this year, Sun Zhengyi accepted a criminal case of corruption in Henan Province. It is indeed a bit of luck that Sun Zhengyi was able to sign this case.

The defendant in this case is named Li Wen, and his parents are neighbors of Sun Zhengyi's family.The Li family had been living and working in Yu Province until they retired the year before last, when the defendant's parents returned to the county.

Defendant Li Wen was the vice-principal of a middle school in a county in Henan Province before he was arrested. Later, he was reported for corruption and was arrested by the public security department in March this year.

When the news came, the old couple of the Li family panicked, so they found their neighbor Sun Zhengyi. When Sun Zhengyi heard that he was coming to work, he flicked the case and took over the case. Everything went well after signing the contract and paying the money.Later, the case was assigned to Li Mingbo.

Mr. Li told Lawyer Li that he had two sons, and the one who was arrested was his second son. His eldest son was named Li Yong, who was also working in Yu Province. At that time, he could ask Li Yong to help book the hotel, and drive Lawyer Li to various departments. .

In this way, Li Mingbo became the defender of the defendant Li Wen in the case of suspected corruption, and went to the detention center in the county of Yu Province to meet the defendant Li Wen.At this time, because the case was under investigation, Li Mingbo returned to the law firm because he could not read the papers.

More than two months later, the county procuratorate filed a public prosecution against Li Wen to the county people's court for committing corruption, and transferred five photocopies of the main evidence of the case, totaling 370 pages.

Afterwards, when Li Yong learned that his younger brother's case had reached the court, he contacted Li Mingbo and informed him of the relevant situation.After Li Mingbo contacted the court to confirm that the case file had been transferred, he made an appointment with the host judge to go to the county court to review the file one day later.

On the day of reviewing the papers, Li Yong drove Li Mingbo to the county court, accompanied by Li Wen's son Li Youpeng, and then Li Yong and Li Youpeng followed Li Mingbo to the case filing division of the county court.

After submitting the entrustment procedures to the court, Lee Myung-bak lent the main evidence materials of the Lee Moon corruption case transferred to the court by the public prosecution agency and copied them to the photocopying department.

After copying, the three walked out of the court and returned to the car. Li Yong and Li Youpeng asked Li Mingbo to see the evidence materials of Li Wen's embezzlement case. The case file materials were given to Li Yong and Li Youpeng.
