Lawyer's character

"Thank you. Come to Yunwu Tea House for tea when you have time.

By the way, I have to thank you for introducing Lawyer Wan to me. During this time, he bought a lot of tea from our tea house. Is his family running a teahouse? Yun Mei asked with a smile, with a trace of doubt in her eyes.

"This...I'm really not too sure." Fang Yi deliberately pretended to be stupid.

He couldn't tell Yunmei that in order to get the lawyers in the team to appreciate his tea art, the fat old man might have organized a "watch the tea art and give away tea leaves" activity. What a shame!

Early the next morning, as soon as Fang Yi arrived at the office, the phone rang. It was his senior brother Zhou Shen, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Junior brother, how are you doing lately?" Zhou Shen asked.

Fang Yi could tell from his tone that he was in a good mood.

"Fortunately, senior brother, how is your law firm doing?" Fang Yi asked.

“Last year I took over an old law firm that had been in operation for more than ten years. After a period of operation, it is now basically on the right track.

I wanted to contact you some time ago, but it turned out that the law firm was busy with things, and Defa Group had launched a new project, so it was delayed. Zhou Shen said.

"I know you are busy, so I haven't dared to call you. You are the one who can do more work. Just wait until everything is stable." Fang Yi said with a smile.

"Your reputation is getting bigger and bigger now. I know your name in the capital. How about you? When will you come over and give us guidance?" Zhou Shen joked.

"Senior brother, please don't make fun of me. I have only handled criminal cases these days, which is far worse than the lawyers in the capital." Fang Yi said with a smile.

"Humility! It's not good to be too humble as a lawyer. I have something to ask you for help." Zhou Shen said.

"What's the matter?" Fang Yi was startled and asked.

Fang Yi thought about it. It was probably in criminal matters that his senior brother Zhou Shen asked him for help. Other than that, he really couldn't think of any other place where he could help Zhou Shen.

“Our law firm’s team has just been established and focuses on non-litigation matters. Litigation lawyers mostly deal with commercial contract disputes, and there are only a few criminal lawyers, whose level is average.

Recently, our law firm took on a criminal case, which was introduced by an old client. As you know, it is not easy to develop resources. This case was actually thrown to us by a large client who wanted to see our level.

Several lawyers in the firm have different opinions after analyzing the case. You have rich experience in criminal matters. I would like to invite you to come and listen and give me some advice.

But I have to make it clear to you in advance. You are a friendly guest star. There is no fee, only red envelopes. Zhou Shen laughed.

"As you say, asking for money hurts your feelings! Just tell me when you want me to go there. I will follow your arrangements." Fang Yi said, patting his chest.

"Okay, junior brother, you are very interesting. Do you have any arrangements for tomorrow? If not, I will have someone book a ticket for you. I will ask my assistant to send the case status to your email in a while. You can take a look and study it first." Zhou Shen said.

"Okay, but I have a small request. I'll come back on the same day. I'm afraid that the child will be left alone. I don't feel comfortable being alone at home." Fang Yi said.

"No problem. I'll ask my assistant to book a train for you at around eight in the morning, and then go back at around three in the afternoon. How about that?" Zhou Shen said.

"Oh. I'll send you the identity information later." After Fang Yi finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Early the next morning, after Fang Yi sent Xiaozhi to school, he went straight to the train station and took the high-speed train heading north.

Zhou Shen's law firm is located in an office building owned by Defa Group, close to the subway. It has an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters. The decoration is high-end and classy. The lawyers who come in and out are all professionally dressed.

After listening to Zhou Shen's introduction, Fang Yi learned that there are now more than 40 people in the entire law firm. Except for the partners, all are on a salary system. Because they focus on non-litigation business, 80% of the lawyers in the firm are non-litigation lawyers. , the remaining litigation lawyers are also allocated according to business proportions.

There are three male lawyers in the criminal department. One is Zhao, who is in his fifties. It is said that he retired from the procuratorate of a southern province. He has been working as a lawyer in the capital for two or three years. Zhou Shen mainly uses his experience and previous experience. He rarely handles cases because of his special status.

Because he came from within the system, Lawyer Zhao naturally has a touch of system temperament and is considered the "authority" in the criminal field of the firm.

The other two are criminal lawyers who have been practicing for three or four years. One is named Wang and the other is Sun. They were hired by Zhou Shen from his original law firm. They have no problem handling ordinary criminal cases, but they are almost useless when it comes to complex criminal cases. .

These two lawyers feel a bit like drivers who have been driving for a year or two after getting a car license, and they have the aura of "I have the legal certificate in my hand, and I have it in the world."

After understanding the general situation in the institute, Fang Yi followed Zhou Shen to the conference room.

There were six people sitting in the spacious and bright conference room, including Zhou Shen, the young and beautiful female assistant, the three criminal lawyers in the team, and Fang Yi.

"Let me introduce to you first. This is my junior brother, Lawyer Fang Yi. Two of the five cases you found before are criminal cases he has handled in the past two years.

Lawyer Fang has been practicing in other provinces. This time I invited him here to analyze the criminal cases we have undertaken before. " Zhou Shen introduced.

After the words fell, warm applause erupted in the conference room.

Although it is said that "literary people are not the first", the problem of literati being ignored is also very popular in the lawyer circle, but money is more important than slaves, and art is more important than professionals. Everyone in the conference room is from the legal circle, and everyone has seen it. The verdict of the previous case handled by Fang Yi still admires his professional ability.

"Let's make a long story short, Lawyer Fang has to rush back in the afternoon, let's start now." Zhou Shen said: "Assistant Zhao, please introduce the case to everyone."

The young and beautiful female assistant smoothed her hair, turned on the projector, and began to introduce the case.

The defendant in this case, Gao Qiyuan, and the victim, Cao Wenxue, conspired to kidnap a wealthy man in the Northeast and extort RMB 5 million (the kidnapping case has been handled separately).

Before the kidnapping was carried out, the defendant Gao Qiyuan and the victim Cao Wenxue agreed that Gao Qiyuan would carry out the kidnapping, and that Cao Wenxu would come forward to ask for a ransom from the family of the kidnapped person. After receiving the ransom, Cao Wenxu would then give 10% of the ransom. Fifty points to Gao Qiyuan.

After the two succeeded, they fled to the capital to avoid the limelight. After hiding in the urban village of DX District in the south of the city for a while, Cao Wenxu saw that the situation was calm, and he had the idea of ​​​​taking all the ransom money for himself.

After coming out of the village in the city, Gao Qiyuan was strongly dissatisfied because Cao Xuewen didn't pay the ransom. Gao Qiyuan called Cao Wenxue to ask for his share of the ransom, but Cao Wenxu denied it, saying that the rumor was too tight. It's not easy to use the money, so let him wait.
