Lawyer's character

The two took the skewers and beer from the employee and started chatting with Yunmei. They seemed to be quite familiar with each other. After a while, Yunmei walked towards the house with the man.

"Director Zhao, this is Lawyer Fang from Wanhua United Law Firm, who specializes in criminal cases. Lawyer Fang, this is Director Zhao from the village committee. Director Zhao heard that you are here and wants to consult with you." Yunmei said.

"Director Zhao, sit down and chat." Fang Yi stood up and said.

"I'm sorry, Lawyer Fang. I was out for a walk and came over to take a look when the tea house was quite busy. I disturbed your dinner party." Director Zhao said.

"Don't bother me. There are so many people and it's lively. Let's sit down and chat. You can try this." Fang Yi picked up a skewer of roast mutton and handed it to Director Zhao.

"I have something I want to consult with you about. It's my brother's case." Director Zhao said after taking the skewers.

"Tell me, what kind of case is it, criminal or civil?" Fang Yi asked.

Seeing the two chatting about the case, Yunmei said hello and took Fang Anzhi outside to eat skewers.

"As for criminal matters, I have to tell you that I have consulted several lawyers during this period, and they all talked about everything. There is a legal consultant in our village, but his skills are average, and I don't have any lawyer friends that I know well who are good at handling criminal cases. So when Mr. Yun introduced you just now, I thought of my brother's case." Director Zhao said.

"Well, this is my business card." Fang Yi didn't expect to meet someone asking for advice when he went out for a meal. He took out his business card and handed it over: "Has your brother been arrested, or..."

"I was arrested two months ago and now I'm in a detention center. I hired a lawyer to meet with him and said he was guilty of fraud.

Hi! I feel embarrassed when I mention this. My younger brother has been sentenced once for fraud before. After he was released, he did not do good things. It is said that he lied to others and said that he was from the court. He cheated people with food, drink, money and sex, and was finally sentenced to death. People found out and were arrested by the police. I don't know the specific situation, but it is said that he deceived several people.

Lawyer Fang, how long is the sentence for a general fraud crime? Director Zhao said.

"The information you gave is too little for me to judge. Fraud crimes also vary depending on the situation. The sentencing is divided into three levels. It depends on the amount of fraud and whether the situation is serious. You just said that he was pretending to be someone from the court to commit fraud, which is not necessarily true. The crime of fraud may also constitute the crime of pretense and deception. It depends on the specific circumstances of the case." Fang Yi thought for a while and said.

"Oh, when you said that, I suddenly remembered that the lawyer said before that the procuratorate said that several crimes should be punished together, and it seemed that there was the crime of pretentiousness and deception that you just mentioned.

Lawyer Fang, if I entrust you to handle this kind of case, how will the attorney fees be charged? Director Zhao said.

"Generally, the starting price is 50,000 yuan, depending on whether the case is complicated. If the case is not complicated and it is local, the lawyer's fee will be almost 50,000 yuan." Fang Yi said.

The person in front of me is the village chief. Even though he is a village official, he does not necessarily have money. Fang Yi estimated that the legal fees of 50,000 yuan should be acceptable to the other party.

"Well, I'll go home and discuss it. If I entrust you, can I just come to the law firm to see you directly on Monday?" Director Zhao said.

"It's okay." Fang Yi said.

The two chatted about the case for a while, and Director Zhao and his wife left the teahouse.

After sending Director Zhao off, Yunmei came back and said, "Sorry, Lawyer Fang. I'm troubling you again." Fang Yi was originally invited to dinner, but instead he came for a free consultation, which made Yunmei feel a little embarrassed.

"It's okay. I have to thank you. Maybe Director Zhao will go to the law firm next Monday to ask me to entrust a case." Fang Yi said with a smile.

Director Zhao and his wife were chatting while walking on their way home.

"Old Zhao, what do you think of Lawyer Fang? How does he compare to our village's legal advisor?" Director Zhao's wife asked.

“I consulted our village’s legal advisor, Lawyer Gao, about the crime of fraud. He took out a criminal law book for me from his bag and kept flipping through the legal articles. I was completely confused.

If his level is not good enough, he will only do some cases involving ordinary people's parents, but he cannot handle criminal cases at all. Director Zhao shook his head and said.

"What about the lawyer Wang from the city whom my sister introduced to me two days ago?" Director Zhao's wife then asked.

"That lawyer was even worse. He didn't ask about the case when we met. He told me directly that the maximum sentence for fraud was life imprisonment. If he was entrusted, the basic attorney fee would be 30,000 yuan. If my brother was sentenced to less than ten years, an additional 30,000 yuan would be charged. Sentence of not more than three years plus an additional 50,000 yuan.

I asked him if the guarantee could be less than three years? He said he couldn't guarantee it.

Isn't this a joke? ! It was like a stroke of luck. No matter what he did, he would not lose money. He would make at least 30,000 yuan! Damn it, this kind of lawyer is a big liar.

I think the lawyer Fang today is quite reliable. He is a friend of Mr. Yun. Mr. Yun said that he has handled many big cases and is very famous in the city. I went back to look it up online, and he gave me a business card, so I checked it out and found out. Director Zhao said.

"Well, I don't think Mr. Yun's words can be fully believed. If that doesn't work, let's entrust him to go to the detention center to meet with him first, just like the lawyer last time. We'll see what he says and then entrust us." Director Zhao's wife said.

"Well, I'll go talk to him on Monday." Director Zhao felt that what his wife said made sense.

On Monday morning, Fang Yi received a call from Director Zhao shortly after entering the office. An hour later, Director Zhao walked into the conference room of the law firm.

Because the two parties had communicated before, Director Zhao was here to sign the contract this time, so it didn't take long for Zhou Ying to assist Director Zhao in completing the entrustment procedures. Only the matters entrusted have changed. Fang Yi will only be entrusted to meet and review the case. The fee is 10,000 yuan. After the review, the two parties will discuss the entrustment of defense.

"Why are these clients like this recently? They all entrust the meeting first, and then discuss the matter of entrusting the defense afterwards. Today's case has been in the procuratorate for so long. The parties involved are not in a hurry at all." Zhou Ying complained while holding the entrustment formalities.

"I guess he has met many lawyers and been fooled many times, otherwise he would not be so cautious. Make an appointment to meet at the detention center first, and let me know the time." Fang Yi said.

In the afternoon of the next day, Fang Yi and Zhou Ying went to the detention center to meet Director Zhao's younger brother, Zhao Changguang.

If you don't understand the situation, you will never think that Zhao Changguang is a liar when you see him (the liar has no words engraved on his forehead, so it is really difficult to identify). He is 1.8 meters tall, has a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he is not handsome, he is somewhat handsome.

At this time, Zhao Changguang looked a little decadent, with a droopy head and dull eyes.

"Zhao Changguang, please tell us more about the case situation that you told the public security organs and procuratorate before." Fang Yi said.

Zhao Changguang nodded: "At the end of the year before last, by chance, he met Zhou Hong, a female worker in the county's machine processing factory..."
