my dear lawyer

Chapter 282 The hush money mentioned in the TV series

Xu Changhuan asked: "You ate it yourself, and you haven't verified it with the relevant department, have you?"

"Really not yet, otherwise they wouldn't say I have no evidence." The uncle said, "But I didn't lie, they are deceiving consumers. Guiling jelly must use tortoise shells, and it needs to be boiled for six or seven hours. Labor costs How expensive.

Burning fairy grass is just a weed, not counting the labor cost, but the cost can't be compared, not to mention the expensive tortoise jelly they sell, but they sell cheap weeds?Don't do this business too well.

Hey, not to mention so much, is the lawyer willing to take the case? "

"I understand what you mean." Xu Changhuan said, "The lawyer will look for evidence. So do you want to sue now, or negotiate?"

"What is the fee standard?"

"Issuing a lawyer's letter to warn, the fee is 3000 yuan; to help with the negotiation and the negotiation is successful, the fee is 5000 to 7000 yuan;

You can also file a lawsuit, and there are two types of fees for filing a lawsuit.First, there is no guarantee of winning or losing, we charge 20% to 25% of the compensation amount; second, if you win without losing, we charge 50% of the compensation amount as employment fee. "

"If I win, how much compensation can I receive?" the uncle asked.

"This... depends on how the court decides. We need to do further research before we can give you an estimate of the price."

"Let's put it this way, I don't want to pay lawyers' fees either. My original intention is not to make much money from here, but I just don't want more consumers to be cheated. But I can't lose money if I do good deeds. If it can be proved that the other party is wrong, I think the other party should pay the attorney's fees."

Xu Changhuan smiled slightly. On the issue of who should bear the legal fees, they have been arguing for many years. The public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is right. There is no result.

"If it can be proved that the merchant has committed fraudulent behavior, according to the "General Principles of Civil Law", civil liability is borne by the party whose fault caused the infringement of other people's property and safety. It is true that the party who lost the lawsuit or the party who made the mistake should pay the lawyer's fees. We can help you apply to let the other party payment, but ultimately it is up to the courts to decide."

The uncle didn't understand: "Why didn't the court directly judge like this?"

"Because civil litigation is not inevitable, whether to go through the litigation process depends on personal wishes, so the court may make you bear the lawyer's fees.

In general, the amount of compensation and whether the lawyer's fees shall be borne by the defendant depends on the evidence presented in court, and there is no way to give you a clear answer now. "

Xu Changhuan asked, "If there is no compensation, would you choose not to sue?"

"This..." The uncle thought for a while and asked, "What about the negotiation? Is there any compensation?"

"If you ask us to issue a lawyer's letter or negotiate with the other party, then the lawyer's fees will be borne by you." Xu Changhuan explained.

"Aren't they afraid that I will be exposed? Now that the media is so powerful, will they give me a sum of money, which is the hush money mentioned in the TV series."

Xu Changhuan smiled secretly: "Whether to expose these is within the scope of negotiation, we can communicate with the other party as your client. But... I personally guess that they will not give money. This is a trick, in case you threaten them again in the future What? And as lawyers, we have a professional code of conduct, neither coercion nor threat."

This uncle is also a straight person, he nodded frequently, and said unabashedly: "I understand, if I want a hush money, I have to find them in private, right?"

"..." Xu Changhuan couldn't say, yes.
