Lawyer

Chapter 447 Chapter 485 Chapter 486 (two in one) embarrassing, it's so embarrassing!

"When did you receive the criminal verdict?" Fang Yi asked.

"It seems to be the day before yesterday..., yes, it was the day before yesterday. I went to the court to get it with my lawyer." Jiang Xue thought for a while.

"The appeal period is only ten days, counting from the day after receiving the verdict. It has been two days now, and the time is relatively tight. Ms. Jiang, do you want to entrust me with a second trial? Or just for consultation?" Fang Yi finished asking, looking To Mr. Meng.

"We want to entrust you with this case. How much do you think the lawyer's fees will cost?" Mr. Meng said.

"I did not handle the first trial of this case, and the second trial will be difficult. The workload will be greater than that of the first trial, and it will consume more energy. Therefore, if I am entrusted to handle this case, the lawyer's fee will be 6 yuan.

It is limited to the second instance. If it is necessary to apply for retrial or send it back for retrial, it needs to be re-entrusted and the attorney fee will be paid separately. "Fang Yi thought for a while.

"Can you guarantee that our family, Dou Tao, will be released without charge?" Jiang Xue asked suddenly.

"I can't guarantee it. I can only formulate a defense plan based on the facts of the case, and provide Dou Tao with a defense of innocence or a defense of minor crimes. I can't guarantee the outcome of the case." Fang Yi said seriously.

What a joke, that lawyer can guarantee that your husband will be acquitted, and the lawyer is not a judge.

"Lawyer Fang, don't mind me. My brother and sister don't know much about this." After Mr. Meng finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Xue helplessly: "Sister and sister, no lawyer can guarantee the outcome of the case..."

"But the lawyer said it's okay..." Jiang Xue refused.

"He said no problem, why did the court give a suspended sentence?" Boss Meng said dissatisfied.

"This..." Jiang Xue fell silent.

"Ms. Jiang, our lawyers cannot promise the results to the client, otherwise it will be a violation of the rules.

The lawyer you said, I don't know what he thinks he will promise you the result, but I really can't give you any guarantee.Why don't you try to find him again? "Fang Yi said lightly.

Fang Yi could tell that Mr. Meng and Ms. Jiang were not very satisfied with the previous lawyer, otherwise they would not have come to him to discuss the entrustment.So he made a trick of "playing hard to get". If you, Ms. Jiang, think the previous lawyer is good, you can go to him, no problem.Fang Yi knew in her heart that she would never go to her previous lawyer again.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Jiang Xue immediately changed her words: "Lawyer Fang, don't get me wrong. I don't know your lawyers well. I thought that as long as I paid the lawyer's fee, the result would be guaranteed. Just do as you said. Go through the entrustment procedures immediately .”

With Zhou Ying's assistance, Jiang Xue completed the entrustment procedures and paid the lawyer's fee.Fang Yi sent Mr. Meng and Jiang Xue out of the law firm.

"Lawyer Fang, you can do it! You signed an order not long after the new year. Congratulations! Congratulations!" Zhou Ying laughed.

"It's nothing, it's just earning some hard money." Fang Yi said with a smile.

In the afternoon, Fang Yi called and made an appointment for an interview at the detention center the next morning. He was going to see Dou Tao, ask about the details, and then come back to draft an appeal.

In the detention center, the man sitting opposite Fang Yi looked like he was in his 30s, with a pair of small eyes shining brightly, and two thick and thick eyebrows were very conspicuous.His skin is bronze, and he can tell that he often works in the fields.

After Dou Tao signed the entrustment procedures, Fang Yi put away the entrustment procedures and asked, "Dou Tao, what happened on the day of the crime, please tell me from beginning to end, the more detailed the better."

Dou Tao nodded: "It all started when I contracted the land in the village to plant fruit trees..."

Dou Tao graduated from an agricultural school with a technical secondary school education (the technical secondary school education was very good). At first he worked in the agricultural department of the county, and then he resigned and contracted [-] acres of mountain land in the village, and began to grow peaches and Apple, this contract is ten years.

In December [-], Dou Tao's contract expired, and he proposed to the village that he had the priority to lease the land according to the contract and asked to continue to contract the land.

The village told him that he could continue to contract the land, but the contract payment should be increased.Dou Tao felt that the land contract proposed by the village was too high. The two parties discussed this for no less than three times, and finally did not sign a new land contract because they could not reach an agreement.

After that, Dou Tao was not found in the village, and Dou Tao continued to run a picking garden on the contracted land.During this period, Dou Tao negotiated with the village to renew the land lease contract, and voluntarily asked to pay the rent, but the village leaders did not make a clear statement whether to renew the contract, and the village did not collect the rent in time, so Dou Tao continued to run his picking garden. The village did not find him again.

In October last year, the village's "two committees" and the villagers' representative assembly decided to take back the land contracted by Dou Tao, and informed Dou Tao of the relevant situation, and asked him to clean up the land on his own.

After Dou Tao received the notice, he thought that the fruit trees he had planted for so many years would be cut down as soon as he said he would, and that the village had not mentioned a word about compensation, which was unreasonable, so he continued to operate the picking garden and waited for people from the village to discuss compensation.

In November, the village gave Dou Tao an ultimatum. If he did not clean up the ground by himself, the village would send people to shovel down all the fruit trees.

Afterwards, seeing that Dou Tao did not respond, the village organized more than a dozen people including security guards and temporary employees Zhang Dabao to bring axes, chainsaws and other tools to Dou Tao's orchard to forcibly cut down fruit trees.

Dou Tao's daughter-in-law, Jiang Xue, stepped forward to stop her, but was pulled aside by the security guards to control her.Seeing his own fruit tree being chopped down and his daughter-in-law being controlled by the other party, Dou Tao's eyes turned red, and he picked up a kitchen knife to drive away the security guards. In the process, Zhang Dabao was cut by the kitchen knife in Dou Tao's hand.

Seeing that he had hurt someone, Dou Tao stopped immediately, and the two sides became deadlocked in the orchard.Later, the village cadres reported to the police, and Zhang Dabao was found to be slightly injured after the injury appraisal. The public security organ sentenced Dou Tao to administrative detention for [-] days.

Seeing Dou Tao's reaction so violently, the village also stopped cutting down fruit trees.

After being released, Dou Tao bought gifts and took the initiative to apologize to Zhang Dabao's house. The two had no deep hatred, and they lived in the same village. They looked down and saw each other. Since Dou Tao had come to confess his mistake, Zhang Dabao accepted it. Apologized for his apology and forgave him.

A few days later, the public security organ suddenly came to the door and arrested Dou Tao for the crime of picking quarrels and provoking troubles. Immediately after the county procuratorate approved the arrest, reviewed and prosecuted him, within a few days, the county procuratorate charged Dou Tao with the crime of picking quarrels and provoking troubles, and filed a public prosecution in the county people's court.Subsequently, the county court found that the defendant, Dou Tao, constituted the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and sentenced him to one year's imprisonment with one year's probation.

Dou Tao refuses to accept and plans to file an appeal.

"Did the village talk to you about compensation before cutting down your orchard?" Fang Yi asked.

"I haven't talked about it. After the village sent me a notice, they never called me again." Dou Tao said.

"In the land contract between you and the village, is there any agreement on the disposal of the above-ground objects after the lease period expires?" Fang Yi asked while taking notes.

"The land contract was written by the village. It was very simple. At that time, it was only stipulated that the above-ground property would belong to me, but there was no agreement on how to deal with the above-ground property after the contract expired." Dou Tao said.

"Then when you leased the land, what was the state of the land? Is there any description in the contract?" Fang Yi continued to ask.

"When I rented the land, the place was full of weeds and bare, and the contract stated that it was a barren hill. I planted all the fruit trees after the contract, and the village also recognized that the fruit trees belonged to me.

When I applied for a loan from the credit union, the village issued a certificate proving that all the fruit trees in the orchard were planted by me.Belongs to me personally, not collectively. " Dou Tao said.

"Who is managing the orchard now?" Fang Yi asked.

"Since I was arrested in an accident last winter, my wife and a few workers have been working on the orchard. According to the previous lawyer, the village talked to my wife about taking back the orchard. But my wife thought the compensation was too little. No promise." Dou Tao said.

"I'll draft an appeal first, and I'll come to see you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to sign the appeal. Let's do it today. Do you have anything to say to your lover?" Fang Yi said.

"Let her take good care of the child, don't worry about me, I'm fine." Dou Tao said with a forced smile.

After returning to the law firm, Fang Yi sorted out the entire case in the afternoon, and drafted an appeal petition based on the criminal judgment of the first instance. Dou Tao's actions did not constitute the crime of provoking trouble, and he requested the court to change the sentence of Dou Tao's innocence according to law.

A day later, Fang Yi came to the detention center to meet with Dou Tao again. After asking a few more details, he left the detention center and went directly to the county court to submit the appeal and entrustment procedures.

After the term started, Fang Anzhi no longer lived on campus and changed to commuting.

Originally, Fang Anzhi didn't want his father to pick him up, thinking that he was already a junior high school student and could go to and from school by himself, but Fang Yi felt that there were many cars on the road, so it was more at ease to pick up the car and drop him off. (Parents all over the world love each other, and everyone understands it)

In order to understand his son's study situation, Fang Yi called the head teacher to inquire. Fang Anzhi's head teacher is a female teacher in her fifties, she is very responsible, and she often talks to Fang Anzhi.

According to the head teacher's reaction, since his mother passed away, Fang Anzhi seems to be a different person. Although he is usually taciturn, he studies very hard and ranks among the best in the monthly exam.In the teacher's words, Fang Anzhi must have awakened after being stimulated!

Seeing that Fang Anzhi came back from school every day, went into the house after dinner, started to study, and went to bed around [-] o'clock in the evening. , Change your mind, and occasionally go out to eat with Lao Huang and others, and bring him along to let him have more contact with the outside world.

Fang Yi knows that a rural child has nothing to do with no background, and is incomparable to the second and third generations. If he wants to go out, he basically has no other choice except to study.

Ordinary people have to suffer a little in their life. If they don’t suffer from learning, they have to suffer from life, or they may suffer from both.But in any case, learning is still the most effective way for the children of ordinary people to cross classes.

More than half a month later, the second trial of Dou Tao's case finally made progress. After talking with Fang Yi, the intermediate court made a ruling not long after, affirming that the facts found by the court of first instance were not clear, and that Dou Tao's provoking troubles should be ruled. The case was sent back to the county court for retrial.

The case was remanded for retrial, which meant that Fang Yi had completed Jiang Xue's commission, and the retrial had nothing to do with him.

Jiang Xue looked at the ruling of retrial and was full of hope in her heart, but when she thought that it was too easy for Fang Yi to earn the 6 yuan in legal fees, she just filed an appeal and had a conversation without even opening the court , Now her husband Dou Tao's lawsuit is going to be tried again, and she has to pay the lawyer's fees to re-entrust her, and she always feels a little unbalanced.

At noon, when Mr. Meng returned home, he saw Jiang Xue chatting with his wife.He frowned, Jiang Xue didn't usually come to the house, why did he come here suddenly today, he couldn't help drawing a big question mark in his heart.

"Old Meng, Jiang Xue has something to do with you. I'll go to the kitchen to see if Auntie has finished lunch. You can talk." After speaking, Mrs. Meng's wife got up and walked to the kitchen.

Mr. Meng sat on the sofa expressionlessly, then took out a cigarette from the cigarette box on the coffee table, lit it and asked, "Is everything all right at home?"

"Everything is fine at home. Brother-in-law, did I come here this time to ask you for a favor?" Jiang Xue was a little afraid of Boss Meng, so she seemed a little cautious when speaking.

"What's the matter?" Boss Meng asked, exhaling the smoke from his mouth.

"The last time I entrusted Attorney Fang to handle Dou Tao's case, Attorney Fang was very professional. After submitting the appeal, the case was remanded by the Intermediate People's Court for retrial.

There was no court session in the second trial, but I just had a conversation with lawyer Fang.Now the county court is going to retry Dou Tao's case. Before I entrusted lawyer Fang to handle the second trial, so this time I have to sign the entrustment procedure again.

The entrustment procedure is easy to handle, but the lawyer fee... I am not picky, the main reason is that lawyer Fang did not do too much work during the second trial, 6 yuan in lawyer fees, and there is no clear explanation for Dou Tao's case..." Jiang Xue said with an aggrieved face.

"What do you want to do?" Mr. Meng listened quietly, he probably understood what Jiang Xue meant, because he thought it was too easy for lawyers to make money.

"Can you help me talk to Lawyer Fang, make up the formalities, and handle the retrial case together. The legal fee of 6 yuan is not a small number! Lawyer Fang will definitely not lose money." Jiang Xue's eyes lit up. road.

If Jiang Xue and his wife treated the old lady better, maybe Mr. Meng would really go to Fang Yi or Yunmei to intercede. If it doesn't work, he will pay the lawyer's fee for Dou Tao, which is not a problem.

But Jiang Xue took all the good things from her husband's family to her natal family for so many years, and she was very mean to the old lady. If the old lady was not afraid that the villagers would poke her son's back, she would have moved to Boss Meng's house long ago.The actions of Dou Tao and his wife are very unpopular, and Mr. Meng usually doesn't like to talk to them.

If it wasn't for his wife's intercession this time, Mr. Meng would not bother to deal with Dou's family affairs.

"This matter is not easy to handle. It is clearly written in black and white that you entrusted the second trial. Now the case has returned to the county court for a new trial. According to the contract, lawyer Fang has finished his work.

You said just now that there was no court session in the second trial, and you just had a conversation with lawyer Fang, but after he went to have a conversation, the case was sent back for retrial. Isn't this work?Anyway, I don't have the face to talk to Lawyer Fang about it.

If you feel that lawyer Fang's fee is too high, you can find another lawyer. "Mr. Meng was very dissatisfied with Jiang Xue and rejected her request.

"Brother-in-law, I don't mean that. I can trust Lawyer Fang's professional ability, but..." Jiang Xue made a big chicken nest neck, embarrassing, really embarrassing.

"No 'but', if you want to save money, you can hire the previous lawyer, that's it, it's not easy for you to come here once, and leave after dinner later." Boss Meng said without even looking at her.

"No...no need. I'll go back to eat. Brother-in-law, I'm leaving first." After Jiang Xue finished speaking, she stood up and walked out in embarrassment.Having said all of this, she still has the face to sit down and eat.
