Lawyer's character

A week later, the second-instance verdict of Dou Tao's case came down. Fang Yi went to the Intermediate Court to get the verdict.

The Intermediate People's Court held that the facts found in the original judgment were unclear and the conviction and application of the law were wrong, so they should be corrected. The behavior of the appellant Dou Tao does not constitute the crime of provocation.

After discussion and decision by the trial committee, in accordance with Article 225, paragraph 1, item 3, of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, Article 20, paragraphs 1, 2, and 13 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China. According to the provisions of Article 1, the judgment: 1. Revoke the criminal judgment of the County People’s Court. 2. Appellant Dou Tao is not guilty.

After receiving the news, Dou Tao and his wife came to the law firm that afternoon and thanked Fang Yi repeatedly. Only then did Jiang Xue feel that the lawyer's fees were well spent.

The late spring cold this year has come a bit fiercely. I felt hot even wearing thin down jackets in the past few days. In the past two days, pedestrians on the road have changed into winter clothes again.

As the saying goes: sometimes you are cold and sometimes you love the cold, this is the case with Ma Yi.

At this moment, Ma Yi was sitting in Fang Yi's office, holding a box of facial tissue in his hand, wiping his nose from time to time. Fang Yi sat far away from him, firstly because he was afraid that he would dump the big nose on him, and secondly because Afraid of catching a cold.

"Don't sit so far away. I have a cold caused by wind and cold, not a viral cold. It's not contagious." As he spoke, Ma Yi moved closer to Fang Yi.

"Don't lie to me. Who knows how you got the cold? You meet with the client all day long and do ideological work for the vast number of female compatriots. I can't guarantee that the client caught a cold and infected you.

I have a middle school student at home. If he catches a cold, it will directly affect his academic performance, so you'd better be virtuous and stay away from me. "As he said that, Fang Yi raised his buttocks and moved from the sofa to the chair behind the desk.

Ma Yi was not angry or annoyed. He took out a tissue and said with a strong nasal voice: "That's right. I have a diagnosis certificate from the hospital and it was prescribed by an expert."

"Stop fooling me with experts. Experts don't work for me." Fang Yi said, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly. My wastebasket is almost filled with your snot paper."

"It sounds like someone's paper basket has never been full... I'll introduce you to a case. The lawyer's fee is a bit low, 10,000 yuan. But you don't need to pay me the introduction fee. Do you want to do it?" Ma Yi asked road.

"Ten thousand lawyer fees, you don't want an introduction fee?" Fang Yi asked doubtfully.

"Yes, my brother is selfless enough. I think we can't just look at money. As a lawyer, we must have a sense of social responsibility. I just don't do criminal cases. Otherwise, I will definitely do this work myself." Ma Yizheng was arrogant. Ran said.

"If you say that, forget it. I won't earn the legal fees of 10,000 yuan." Fang Yi said in a cold tone.

He knows that Ma Yi is not the kind of saint with a strong sense of social responsibility. The most appropriate way to describe him is that he can't afford to be early without profit. However, Ma Yi is the kind of lawyer who 'has a right to steal' and will not cheat his colleagues. Otherwise, the lawyers in the team would not have such a harmonious relationship with him, and Wan Kefa would not tolerate him.

Fang Yi feels that Lao Huang's evaluation of Ma Yi is quite fair: a pretty boy, a philanderer, his professional abilities are as outstanding as his appearance, but he is only interested in profit, but he is still very interesting to his buddies.

As soon as Ma Yi's righteous words came out today, Fang Yi immediately realized that there was something abnormal. There must be a monster when things go wrong. He was sure that this matter was not as simple as Ma Yi said.

"Okay then, how about 20,000 yuan? If it weren't for the good relationship between us, I would have approached Lao Song, and he would have done it for 5,000 yuan." Ma Yi said very proudly.

"Okay, I'll call Lawyer Song and ask him if he can do it with five thousand dollars. If he does, give me ten thousand and I'll give Lao Song five thousand..." As he said that, Fang Yi picked up his cell phone and made a show of asking. Call Lawyer Song.

"Stop! Stop!...I'm convinced. I'm convinced. Lao Fang, you used to be such a pure lawyer. How come you have become so cunning now? Is it because of Lao Huang's influence? He You misled me!" Ma Yi looked regretful.

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me what's going on, tell the truth!" Fang Yi said impatiently.

"Okay. Let me tell you the truth. Some time ago, Ouyang Jie introduced me to a divorce case. I represented the woman. Don't ask me why I represented the woman again. I don't know. The key is that the man didn't come to me.

The client has a lot of property to be divided, including a house and a car, but they are all local. If they were from the capital, I would have to charge her hundreds of thousands more. "Ma Yidao.

"Tell me the important point." Fang Yi said.

"I received a total of 300,000 yuan for this divorce case. After deducting 30% from the office and 15% from Ouyang, I actually only received more than 100,000 yuan. After deducting taxes, I actually don't have much left. money.

This is an entrustment agreement. If you don’t believe me, take a look. "With that said, Ma Yi threw the entrustment agreement to Fang Yi.

"What's this additional condition?" Fang Yi saw a special agreement in the entrustment agreement, requiring Ma Yi to coordinate Fang Yi in handling the criminal case of the client's cousin.

"The client has a cousin who is said to have killed someone. She is now in a detention center and the case file is currently in the Procuratorate. The client saw that I was a lawyer from Wanhua United Law Firm, so she asked about you. Later she found out that you and I It's a team, so there's this additional condition.

The legal fees for her cousin's case were borne by her and were included in the total costs. The specific amount needed is up to us to discuss, but it does not exceed the total number anyway.

You tell me, how much is appropriate. "

After saying that, Ma Yi continued with an aggrieved look: "Old Fang, it's not easy for me to get a case. It's already the end of March and I just got a decent case. Considering that I'm not married yet, it's hard for me to marry a wife and buy a house." It all costs money, so you must be merciful."

"Don't fool me. What's going on with the criminal case?" Fang Yi asked. He needs to first understand the facts of the case and then estimate the attorney fees.

"I don't know much about it. It is said that it was a love murder. The cousin of the person involved thought that his colleague was seducing her boyfriend, so he chopped more than a thousand knives into his colleague with a kitchen knife..." Ma Yidao.

"How much? More than a thousand dollars?" Fang Yi asked in shock, his mouth wide enough to hold an egg.

"No, look at my mouth. It's more than a hundred cuts. That's right, it's more than a hundred cuts." Ma Yidao.

"If you put it that way, this is a death penalty case!" Fang Yi thought for a moment and thought that this case would just go through the process.

"Who says it's not the case? So the client wanted to package two cases for us. Did you agree?" Ma Yi looked at Fang Yi.

"There will definitely be no problem in handling the case... For the sake of your hard work in negotiating the case, I will charge you 30,000 in legal fees." Fang Yi said.

"Thirty thousand? Let's get a discount. How about twenty thousand?" Ma Yi bargained habitually.

"Twenty-six thousand yuan, no more, just the first trial. No channel fees, no introduction fees." Fang Yi said.

"Deal!" After Ma Yi and Fang Yi reached an agreement, they happily sent out to contact the parties.
