Chapter 1048 Legal Counsel
Zheng Kai is not doing well these few days. He has been discharged from the hospital. His injuries were so light that he could have been discharged early. The reason why he was not discharged from the hospital was entirely because of his mother. His mother told him not to be discharged from the hospital now. He is Injured by Gao Shan's facts, they still have to sue Gao Shan for compensation for their own medical expenses.

Zheng Kai didn't want to go to court, and he didn't listen to what his mother said to go to Gao Shan to ask for medical expenses. He just wanted to get over this incident cleanly. This incident had already brought him a lot of trouble.

The court time came soon, Gao Shan was unable to attend court because he was in the hospital, and his father, mother and attorney represented him in court.

Zheng Kai's injury is not serious, he can already appear in court, Liu Xiaotian and Lawyer Hu accompanied him to court, it can be regarded as a three-on-three, at least it will not put any psychological pressure on Zheng Kai.

In the serious environment of the court, sometimes there is serious psychological pressure on the people who appear in court, especially the defendant. How to relieve the pressure on the client is also a job that lawyers should do.

The two sides sat down completely, and the trial began soon.

The defendant's lawyer stated that Zheng Kai was entirely at fault, and that it was Zheng Kai who used alcohol to ignite Gao Shan. He even cited several occasional quarrels or disagreements between Zheng Kai and Gao Shan, as well as some jokes they had made.

"I object!"

Liu Xiaotian and Lawyer Hu stood up together. As soon as the other lawyer's dirty water started to splash, the two stood up.

The other party's lawyer deliberately led this way instead of explaining it, just to make everyone think that Zheng Kai's behavior was intentional. If this is the case, then Zheng Kai will not bear civil liability, but also criminal responsibility. If this kind of thing really happens , Their law firm can directly close down.

The duty of a lawyer is to help the client. If the other party claims that there is nothing, it is their incompetence.

Both of them understood this, and knew that it was impossible, but they couldn't let the other party's guidance and slander be allowed to go. They both stood up immediately when they saw that the other party had such intentions.

Lawyer Hu glanced at Liu Xiaotian, and then said to himself: "I object to the baseless malicious slander by the plaintiff's attorney. My client and the plaintiff were good friends before. Everyone knows this. There is a little conflict between friends. Little The friction is completely normal, and when the incident happened, my client had been desperately helping the plaintiff to stop the fire. Because there was no suitable fire extinguishing equipment, my client was still digging the soil with his hands, his fingers were bloody, and there are still scars. How could it be intentional? What’s more, the plaintiff brought the source of the fire, not to mention the alcohol, and my client just accompanied him to help him do something he wanted to do without knowing it beforehand!”

The lawyer spoke in an orderly manner, and raised Zheng Kai's hand for the judge and jurors to see. There were also many family members of both parties in the auditorium, and several online media also came. They were very interested in this case.

Two good friends had an accident and eventually turned against each other. Although it is not the kind of hot gossip that is easy to attract, it is enough as some local lace news.

Because of this, there are not many media who come, and they are all online media.

"So, the defendant's defender agreed that it was because of the defendant that my client was finally injured, and it was such a serious injury!"

The defendant's defender was an old lawyer in his fifties. He was very cunning.

"I object!"

Liu Xiaotian immediately stood up: "I disagree with the statement of the plaintiff's attorney. The root cause of the plaintiff's injury lies in his own mistakes. Alcohol is a flammable contraband. He clearly knows this, but he takes advantage of his position. He brought alcohol out and brought it into the mountain where fire sources are prohibited, knowing the law and breaking the law. He clearly knew that our client did not understand the operation of alcohol, but asked our client to add alcohol that was burning, so that our client was burned by alcohol on the spot. Afterwards, the plaintiff even used incorrect methods to rescue him, which resulted in his own injury. It can be said that all of this is the plaintiff's own fault!"

Liu Xiaotian spoke quickly, not only completely refuted the opponent's lawyer's words, but also directly directed all mistakes to the opponent, and directly defended himself without responsibility.

The opposing lawyer looked at Liu Xiaotian in surprise, there are not many young lawyers who react so quickly and speak so well.

"You are talking nonsense. It was Zheng Kai's fault. He didn't know how to add alcohol so he shouldn't add it. He was injured, and my child was also injured. My child was burned so badly just to save him. , It's all his fault!" In the plaintiff's seat, the plaintiff's mother suddenly cried out excitedly.

"You're just talking nonsense. My son is helping your son who doesn't live up to expectations. Your son knows that alcohol is dangerous, and you let my son who doesn't understand anything add it. He is intentional murder, and it's murder!"

Zheng Kai's mother stood up in the auditorium and yelled, and the two mothers quarreled directly.

"Be quiet, everyone be quiet, whoever is arguing will be expelled from the court!"

The judge hurriedly yelled, and the court staff on the side also came up to stop them. The two mothers glared at each other, but they didn't dare to quarrel like they did just now. They both knew that this was a court and it was wrong to do so, so they continued to argue. There is a real possibility of being evicted.

The quarrel between the two mothers was just an episode. It's normal to quarrel in a civil lawsuit like this, but it's rare that they almost didn't fight like they did just now, and their voices were both high-decibel.

The plaintiff's lawyers quickly began to produce evidence. The most important evidence was the video taken by the camera they brought. Because it was shot on a stand and the camera was placed far away, all the pictures were clearly captured.

The video clearly shows that it was Zheng Kai who said that the flame was not strong and was about to go out. He took the initiative to get the alcohol, and then added it to the drinking tank, because fuel was added to the burning alcohol, and the fire source was introduced into the alcohol barrel. , which eventually led to the subsequent accident.

Because this matter is in the hands of the plaintiff, they have been covering it very tightly. Liu Xiaotian and the others did not get it, so they can only rely on asking Zheng Kai about everything that happened in the matter, instead of watching the video directly like the other party. Making them inferior to each other is also somewhat passive.

After the video was played, the plaintiff’s lawyer grasped that Zheng Kai had taken the initiative to add alcohol, and pushed all the responsibility on him. He didn’t talk about Zheng Kai’s deliberate behavior at this time. It’s enough to say it once, just bury it. Primer.

Liu Xiaotian and Lawyer Hu also began to refute, providing evidence from all sides, accusing the plaintiff of all responsibility, the biggest reason for the plaintiff's burns was his improper rescue, and he was the person in charge of industrial alcohol management in the industrial factory, and had experience in this regard The safety training, this is his dereliction of duty and has nothing to do with Zheng Kai.

The trial lasted for two hours, and the two sides continued to argue with each other, and finally came to an end.

This time the court did not pronounce a verdict, so both parties were asked to prepare evidence for a second trial, but this time is not enough, some evidence needs to be appraised by the court, but because the plaintiff is still in the hospital, the current medical expenses are insufficient, and the second trial will be held in three days. The second court hearing, so the time in between is very tight.

Judging from the first court hearing, the plaintiff is the other party’s full responsibility for the complaint, and the defendant is the defense for which he has no responsibility. They both want to completely shift the responsibility to the other party. The possibility of out-of-court settlement is not high, but both parties are at fault. It is impossible to completely push the responsibility to the other party, and the lawyers of both parties are very clear about this, so the ultimate goal is to reduce the responsibility of one's own side.

This is equivalent to saying that whoever bears the least responsibility in the end will win this lawsuit.

"This old guy is not simple, we are careless this time!"

As soon as she left the court, Lawyer Hu said with emotion that the lawyer hired by the other party was very strong and put a lot of pressure on her. Fortunately, Liu Xiaotian was there today, so that they did not fall behind, and the other party did not take advantage. In Lawyer Hu's opinion, This is definitely a powerful, and should be a well-known lawyer.

"I gave you his information before?"

Liu Xiaotian gave him a strange look, knowing himself and the enemy is something Liu Xiaotian would do every time, and he always investigates by himself, never using his other powers.

"Yes, why didn't I know?" Lawyer Hu's eyes widened.

Liu Xiaotian could only explain again: "I gave it to you last week. The lawyer's surname is Zhao, his name is Zhao Minying, and he is a partner of Zhao's Law Firm!"

"It turned out to be him, no wonder!"

Lawyer Hu was taken aback. Zhao Minying is a well-known lawyer in Binhai City. According to legend, his original name was not this. became his own name.

In his words, he should win a lawsuit for the common people, and it would be shameful to lose. Moreover, he often helps some poor people for free. He has a very good reputation and high social prestige.

This case was a factual accident dispute, not a public opinion lawsuit at all. I didn't expect the other party to invite him.

"The Gao Shan who was injured this time is Zhao Minying's cousin. It is said that Zhao Minying was brought up by Gao Shan's grandfather when he was a child, so he is very close to their family. This time, he came here to help his cousin in this lawsuit!"

Liu Xiaotian explained again, Lawyer Hu was slightly taken aback, now she finally understands all this, it turns out that there is such a relationship inside.

Liu Xiaotian's investigation is careful, even this kind of relationship can be found out, this alone is much better than other lawyers, it's a pity that she didn't pay attention to it before, otherwise she would definitely be more cautious this time.

In fact, Liu Xi had sent these materials to her a long time ago, but at that time she was still conflicted in her own heart, and she behaved very abnormally, until Liu Xiaotian talked to her openly and honestly, so that she could wake up and understand. The stupid things I've done these days.

It's just that she had forgotten a lot of things before, so she didn't know about her opponent this time, and only found out after Liu Xiaotian's reminder.

At the same time, in a car not far from the court, Zhao Minying was also talking to his assistant beside him.

"Who is that young man? Have you found out?"

As soon as he came out of the court, Zhao Minying asked his assistant to investigate Liu Xiaotian. Liu Xiaotian didn't behave like a young lawyer at all. He, an old lawyer who has been in the legal industry for nearly 30 years, was under a lot of pressure. The other party obviously didn't have much. Favorable evidence, but he can maximize such evidence and play the biggest role.

There are too many disputes between the two parties, and there is a lot of valid evidence. This is the reason why the first trial did not end. Generally, such cases do not require a second trial.

"It has been found out, that young man's name is Liu Xiaotian, he is a trainee lawyer!" The assistant quickly replied.

This time, they already knew which law firm the lawyer defending the defendant belonged to, and it was easy to find out the identity of the other party after knowing the origin of the other party. The assistant confirmed Liu Xiaotian's identity after making a few phone calls.

"What, it's impossible, a trainee lawyer, so powerful?"

Zhao Minying blurted out, Liu Xiaotian's youth had already surprised him incomparably before, such a young man was able to confront him tit for tat without losing the slightest disadvantage, this is already very rare, let alone he was just a trainee lawyer.

How can trainee lawyers be so powerful? Trainee lawyers are all so strong. How will they, old lawyers, get along in the future?
What's more, he is the plaintiff this time, the evidence is very well prepared, and there is a trump card. The final result is just a split, which is equivalent to losing. In this way, the young man who can win even him is just a trainee lawyer. No wonder he So unbelievable.

"It's true. I've confirmed it. He has only been an intern for more than half a year. Although he is an intern, his performance is very good. He has handled many cases before and almost never lost, and some difficult cases are in his hands. I also won!"

This assistant is very capable, and quickly found out about Liu Xiaotian's situation through the relationship. It is not easy to obtain so much information in such a short period of time. This is a competent assistant.

"Liu Xiaotian, continue to investigate him, I want to know his situation, so I can prepare better next time, this is a difficult enemy!"

Zhao Minying nodded heavily, and the assistant looked at him in surprise. This assistant hadn't seen him so cautious for a long time, but thinking of Liu Xiao's performance in the court today, it was indeed worth it for him to do so.

Liu Xiaotian didn't know that someone was plotting against him behind this meeting, he and Attorney Hu went back to the company together, and immediately began to prepare materials for other cases, this work attitude made even Lawyer Hu admire, even her partner didn't have Liu Xiaotian's work attitude serious.

Zhou Qiang asked for leave again, and he went back to Mount Tai to practice. This kid has been lazy for the past two days. He was severely reprimanded by Ouyang Xuan and received a miserable punishment. He never dared to be sloppy again. Cultivation has also become serious and diligent.

Zhou Qiang's status is different now, he is not only Ouyang Xuan's disciple, but also a cultivator. After experiencing Ouyang Xuan's punishment to him, he finally realized that the previous punishments were just drizzle, a piece of cake, and the punishment he received after becoming a cultivator It is the most painful.

Without Zhou Qiang, there would be less laughter in the company, but during this time the company has taken on a lot of cases, and with the usual legal documents, the whole company is very busy.

"Lawyer Liu, someone is looking for you!"

Shortly after going to work the next day, Xiao Wang called, and the people who came quickly arrived at his office. Nowadays, there are quite a few people looking for Liu Xiaotian directly, most of them are familiar customers, and this time it is no exception. Pu Haitai who had a relationship once.

Pu Haitai was almost cheated by his wife last time, but he found out in time and made the right response to avoid the loss in the end. However, this incident also dealt a big blow to him. After making a report, I went back to the headquarters and became the vice president of the personnel department. The power is not as great as before, but the work is much easier.

"Mr. Pu, hello!"

Liu Xiaotian invited Pu Haitai to the sofa, and Xiao Wang quickly brought tea.

Liu Xiaotian is a trainee lawyer, he doesn't have an assistant, and he doesn't need an assistant. Occasionally, the one who comes to help is Xiao Wang.

"Lawyer Liu, hello, I'm here to disturb you again!" Pu Haitai smiled slightly, looking very sunny. Although he was 35 years old, he looked only 30 years old. His wife Liu Fei was not particularly beautiful before. I'm getting older, I really didn't expect to be so naive, I don't want such a good husband.

He doesn't know Liu Fei's current situation, but it seems that Xiao Wang met him last time, which was not very good.

Xiao Wang said that when she saw her buying vegetables on the side of the road, she bought the cheapest vegetables, and she looked much worse than before. She even looked older than Pu Haitai now, like an old lady.

Xiao Wang just mentioned it by accident in the company, and Liu Xiaotian didn't go to ask about it, that person has nothing to do with him.

"Mr. Pu is too polite. We are happier when you bother us. The more you come, the more we can earn!"

Liu Xiaotian made a joke, Pu Haitai also laughed, and quickly talked about the reason for coming this time.

He came here this time for the company's affairs. The legal counsel hired by the company before was very average, and some of the personnel contracts that had been made before had fatal loopholes. Something happened to one of their previous managers, and it was his own fault. In the end, he asked the company to pay for his mistakes on business grounds, but the company naturally refused.

As a result, the management took the company to court, and even won. The company lost a lot of money and discovered these loopholes.

After thinking about their mistakes, they wanted to change their legal advisors. Pu Haitai recommended Liu Xiaotian's law firm, and he only recommended it. Whether the specific company will adopt it depends on the general manager's opinion.

Pu Haitai's company is not small. There are several large shopping malls in the local area. Such a large company has suffered a lot, so it must be very prudent to hire legal counsel. Nowadays, many law firms are running this relationship. Because of Pu Haitai's impression of Liu Xiaotian Very good, after the introduction, I specially came to inform him in person.

"Thank you Mr. Pu for your special reminder, I will tell Mr. Hu and Mr. Wang all this!"

Pu Haitai quickly took his leave and left. Liu Xiaotian expressed his gratitude specifically. The legal consultants of big companies can not only earn more money, but also refresh their own names. Now their law firm is developing very well, and it is impossible to have any more in the short term. Higher development, but it is possible to make more fame.

Liu Xiaotian believed that Lawyer Hu would definitely be interested in this matter, so he expressed his gratitude.

"Lawyer Liu is too polite. I also believe in you and your ability to make a suggestion, but it is not up to me to decide who the specific company will choose!"

Pu Haitai said politely again, and then left, Liu Xiaotian sent him to the elevator.

Soon, Lawyer Hu called an emergency meeting, all the practicing lawyers were present, there were two assistants and a trainee lawyer, the trainee lawyer was Liu Xiaotian, his current treatment in the company was no different from that of a full-time lawyer.

Pu Haitai's company is called Sino-Ocean Department Store, with a total asset of [-] billion yuan. It is not a particularly big company, but it is already quite big, at least in their eyes. Being able to be a legal consultant for such a company is very important to their entire legal affairs. All in all a qualitative improvement.

They currently have eight practicing lawyers, and the company has reached 30 people. It can no longer continue to expand, but improving their reputation and improving their quality will allow them to receive more, better, and more profitable cases in the future. The qualitative change is comparable. Quantitative changes are important.

Lawyer Hu really attached great importance to this matter, and personally issued an order during the meeting, and made preparations to take down Sino-Ocean Department Store and become their legal adviser.

Because of Liu Xiaotian's relationship with Pu Haitai, plus his own ability, this time Liu Xiaotian was appointed as the deputy team leader. The other lawyers didn't have much opinion on this, at most it was just a bit of a taste.

No one can compare to Liu Xiaotian in ability, and inferior in strength, so there is nothing to say, although Liu Xiaotian's relationship with everyone in the company is not that close, but at least he is passable, his behavior makes people feel nothing.

One more thing, it is still very important, the company has become more busy, even Xiao Wang at the front desk is very busy, and the others are not idle, many people are feeling tired like a dog recently Fortunately, Lawyer Hu issued a bonus in time, which eased everyone's hostility.

It's okay to be busy, but I'm afraid that I won't get anything from being busy. Attorney Hu will do this very well and in a timely manner.

No one knows, this is Liu Xiaotian's suggestion. Liu Xiaotian already knows and understands the thoughts of ordinary people, so he specially reminded Lawyer Hu once. Sure enough, after the money is sent, everyone has no complaints. more diligent.

Time passed quickly, and two days passed in a blink of an eye. Attorney Hu at Sino-Ocean Department Store has already signed up. It is said that there are more than 20 competitors, including some relatively large law firms. Their competition pressure is very high. Da, Attorney Hu hasn't slept well these days.

There will be a trial this morning, and it is still Zheng Kai's case. The trial was not completed last time, and this time it will continue.

This time it was not Gao Shan's parents who attended the plaintiff, but himself. Gao Shan, who was bandaged and wrapped up all over his body and unable to move by himself, had a clear consciousness and could speak. It's easy to get sympathy from others.

At the gate of the court, Liu Xiaotian and Lawyer Hu met Zhao Minying and his assistant. Zhao Minying took a deep look at Liu Xiaotian, then strode into the courtroom, put away his briefcase, and sat down in his seat.
