Lawyer's character

Fang Yi knew that Xu Zengshou had a weak foundation and no money, so how could he really let him spend money. Basically, several managers of Huihui know Fang Yi and know his relationship with the boss. Some Fang Yi has also helped them handle cases or answered legal consultations. So now, when Fang Yi goes to Huihui, he basically just brushes his face and even gets carded. All is saved, the whole journey is free.

The next morning, as soon as Fang Yi arrived at the law firm, he was called to the office by Wan Kefa.

Fang Yi was startled when he entered the director's office. Sitting inside were Lao Song, who was good at criminal cases in the team, and another lawyer named Wang Yong. Wang Yong is a lawyer who joined the Wanke Law team in the second half of last year. He is said to be good at criminal cases, and Fang Yi is just an acquaintance with him.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let me tell you something. Last night I took over a second-instance criminal case. There were three defendants in total. The first-instance trial was tried by the Intermediate Court of a neighboring province, and they were sentenced according to the crime of kidnapping. Two death sentences, one life sentence.

The defendants are dissatisfied and have appealed to the High Court of the neighboring province. Now they want to change lawyers. One of the defendants in this case is the younger brother of one of our big clients. The entrustment has been negotiated and someone will come to sign the entrustment procedures in the afternoon.

Each of the three of you is responsible for one defendant. The first defendant Li Xibin will be defended by Fang Yi, the second defendant Zou Yu will be defended by Song Hui, and the third defendant Tian Yi will be defended by Wang Yong. Please be prepared. The family members of the defendant will come over to sign the authorization procedures in the afternoon.

After a while, the paralegal assistant will send you the entrustment procedures and the first-instance judgment, and the margin fee will be lump sum. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. "Wan Kefa sat on the sofa and ordered the troops and generals.

"Okay, I will obey the director's arrangements. If there is nothing else, I will go back first." Lao Song said.

He knew that Wankefa would never cheat him. Generally speaking, the criminal cases designated by Wankefa were not particularly complicated, or were requested by clients by name.

Wan Kefa personally arranged this case, and the legal fees charged would certainly not be low. It had happened several times before, so Lao Song had nothing to worry about. Express your position on the spot and obey the organization's arrangements.

Fang Yi had nothing to say and nodded in agreement with the boss's arrangement.

This was the first time Wang Yong received a criminal case designated by the team. When he joined the team, Wan Kefa's first assistant Feng Tianzhu had mentioned to him about handling the designated case, and he agreed at the time, so he didn't say anything. , I just don’t know how much the legal fees are.

"Fang Yi, wait a minute, I have something to ask you." Just when Fang Yi was about to follow Lao Song and Wang Yong out, he was stopped by Wan Kefa.

After Lao Song went out, Fang Yi asked, "What's the matter?"

"This case was personally introduced by Mr. Li, the founder of Guangyao Group. I talked about this case with Mr. Li at midnight yesterday. He hired a lawyer from Beijing as the defense lawyer for the first trial, but he was very dissatisfied with the result, so this case This time it’s us.

I listened to Mr. Li talk about the case. I think this case does not necessarily constitute kidnapping. It may be that the lawyer in the first instance was unlucky. Anyway, this case is an opportunity for us to show our faces. You have to seize the opportunity.

Guangyao Group is a potential big client of our team. I have known Mr. Li for four or five years. I wanted to develop Guangyao Group as a client of ours before, but the law firm in Beijing kept a close eye on it and never had the chance. If this case can be settled, all the business of Guangyao Group will be ours from now on.

The first defendant, Li Xibin, is Mr. Li’s biological brother, and the other two are from the security department of Guangyao Group, so Mr. Li paid for the legal fees in this case.

Mr. Li asked you to represent his brother's case by name. His brother's legal fees are 300,000 yuan. If the sentence can be changed, Mr. Li verbally promised to reward him with another 100,000 yuan.

In fact, none of this is important. What is important is the opportunity for us to cooperate with Guangyao Group in the future. "Wan Kefa said with a smile.

"I'll give it a try. After reading the case file, I'll discuss the defense plan with you." Fang Yi nodded.

"Well, don't put too much pressure on me." Wan Kefa said with a smile.

In the afternoon, the families of the three defendants came to Wanhua United Law Firm. Fang Yi and three other lawyers communicated with the clients in three conference rooms to understand the case and sign the entrustment procedures. The purpose of questioning the clients separately is to better understand the case, so as to prevent the three clients from influencing each other.

In the third conference room, sitting opposite Fang Yi was an imposing man in his fifties with a slicked back hair. This is the Mr. Li whom Wan Kefa mentioned before. Mr. Li is sitting there, not angry and intimidating, giving people a condescending feeling, which makes Fang Yi feel uncomfortable.

Wan Kefa met face to face, exchanged greetings with Mr. Li and left.

"Lawyer Fang, I have read your introduction and heard Lao Wan introduce you. You are indeed excellent. I will leave my brother's case to you." Mr. Li said it very politely, but it could not be seen from his expression. Not at all polite.

"Mr. Li, you're welcome. This is what we should do." After speaking, Fang Yi turned to look at Zhou Ying beside him: "Xiao Zhou, show Mr. Li the entrustment procedures."

Zhou Ying stood up and came to Mr. Li with the entrustment procedure, and respectfully handed the entrustment procedure to Mr. Li.

"Well, it's the same as what Lao Wan and I discussed before." After speaking, Mr. Li signed the entrustment formalities.

"Mr. Li, does your brother Li Xibin's lover know about our signing of the entrustment procedure?" Fang Yi suddenly asked.

"I don't know, what do you mean..." Mr. Li looked at Fang Yi with some doubts.

"I'm afraid that his wife has entrusted another lawyer. If there is no communication between you, the defense plans of the two lawyers will be inconsistent, which will be embarrassing." Fang Yi explained.

"Oh! It's okay. His wife divorced her the year before last. Legally speaking, he is single now and has only one son who is in junior high school. I can fully represent his opinions." Mr. Li said generously.

"Oh, I understand. Do you know the details of your brother Li Xibin's case?" Fang Yi asked.

"I don't know. My brother used to be the manager of a subsidiary of our group, but his limited education made the company a mess. Later, I asked him to become the vice president of the security department of the group company.

He felt that he was making little money, so he set up another company outside, specializing in transportation. To put it bluntly, it means getting more than 20 large trucks to transport goods back and forth in several nearby provinces and cities.

I heard from the first-instance lawyer that he kidnapped the debtor to collect transportation fees and brought him to our place. He planned to ask for money from the other party. However, the debtor died within two days after he was brought back. The Intermediate Court of a neighboring province found him guilty of kidnapping and sentenced him to death.

That's all I know. Mr. Li said as he thought.

"Well, I understand. In the next two days, I will go to the High Court of the neighboring province to review the case, and then go to the detention center to meet. After I have figured out the situation, I will make a defense plan, and we will communicate at that time." Fang Yi said.

After sending Mr. Li and others away, Fang Yi communicated with Lao Song and Wang Yong. Everyone learned about the same situation. After that, Fang Yi asked Zhou Ying to make an appointment for a meeting in the detention center and a court review.
