Chapter 58: The Dragon Trapped in the Wild (1)

Jason. Butler is one of the prominent barristers on Wall Street. … ≦. As the founder of the Law Offices of Butler & Jon, his name is inscribed on the walls of the firm. Every morning when he walks into the law office, the 1ogo on the wall reminds him that this is his place.

Like many lawyers before they became famous, Jason. After graduating from law school, Butler worked as a prosecutor in the District Public Prosecutor's Office, and after two years of training, he left the public service and became an obscure lawyer. But gold shines everywhere, and Butler, who holds a master's degree in psychology, quickly becomes a rising star in the legal world with his rigorous logic, sharp eloquence and experience as a magistrate.

At the age of thirty-five, Jason, who was already a little famous. Butler finally succeeded in opening a law firm of his own, albeit with another person. But everyone knows that having their own law firm is definitely a hard indicator of a lawyer's success. Later, he successfully helped a tobacco company and resolve a class action lawsuit, which established him as a Wall Street lawyer.

Today, Butler & Jon Law Firm has become one of the top law firms on Wall Street. Butler is in charge of economic cases, while another founder and senior partner, Ray Brown, is in charge of economic cases. Jon specializes in criminal cases. The two have a clear division of labor, one is responsible for making money, the other is responsible for fame, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses, and cooperating tacitly, becoming an enviable "pair" in New York's legal and political circles, and some people even call them "peerless double pride".

But this day Jason. Butler was a little annoyed, though he was content with it. Just half an hour earlier, someone had barged into his office without an appointment, written a cash check for half a million dollars, and named him to help someone with a legal dispute. Although the other party did not say it explicitly, Jason. Butler still felt it faintly. The trouble caused by the other party is definitely not small.

When he was picked up by a limousine and taken to the place where the party was detained, Jason's heart suddenly "chuckled", this is the supervision center of Sec in New York, and the people who were brought here were all involved in disputes in the capital market, and the rules of this kind of dispute are completely different from ordinary economic disputes, and it is the principle of "there is no doubt about the guilt". It's generally hard to win.

Prior to this, Jason had taken on several similar cases, all of which ended in settlements. The parties paid extremely high settlements in exchange for the prosecution dropping their charges. According to past experience, Jason had already thought of a countermeasure the moment he got out of the car.

"I'm sorry, but without the presence of a lawyer, none of what my client says can be used as evidence in court." The moment he pushed open the door to the interrogation room, Jason's statement immediately blurted out, which was a way to protect the client. To prevent the client from being induced by the prosecution without the presence of a lawyer, "Now my client is just cooperating with your questioning and investigation, and if this process is over, I want to take my client away." ”

It wasn't until after these words that Jason had time to look at the small interrogation room, about a dozen square meters in size, with an ordinary table in the middle of the room, and a middle-aged white agent sitting on one side. He was half-bowing up, staring at Zhong Shi fiercely. It may be that you want to put pressure on the other party in this way. However, after seeing the lawyer outside the door, the chubby agent gave Jason a vicious look and sat back in his place.

And Zhong Shi on the other side of the table, that is, Jason's client, has never changed his posture from the time Jason entered the door to the time he read the statement. Still with an indifferent expression, his eyes fixed on the one-sided reflective mirror opposite, as if studying its principle. For the vicious detective and later Jason, he didn't even bother to nod his head.

"This guy is very calm, he shouldn't have said anything!" Jason let out a secret sigh. Only then did he put his mind at ease and take a closer look at Zhong Shi, and then he realized that his client was a young Asian man, and the high bridge of the nose, the resolute eyes and the nonchalant attitude all showed that this person was extraordinary. Jason was already confident that the other party would not say anything without the presence of a lawyer, but just in case, he still asked one more question, "Sir, they didn't torture you or anything, did they?" If so, I can accuse them of abuse of justice right now! ”

Hearing Jason say this, the white agent's face immediately changed. However, Zhong Shi still didn't react much, just turned his head slightly and looked towards the corner. Jason followed his gaze, there was a real-time camera there, the red light was still flashing, and naturally there would be no illegal things.

"If nothing else, I think my client can leave!" Seeing that his client was not injured, and the other party had also done enough work on the procedure, and he couldn't grasp the handle at all, Jason naturally would not continue to stay in this situation, and said unceremoniously to the white agent at the moment.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, the other party's lawyer arrived at the right time, and the white agent could only release him first, but at the moment when Zhong Shi was about to step out of the door, he suddenly said, "Sir, you have to think about it carefully." If you don't confess, we'll see you in court next. What I want to sue you is that we have enough evidence that no matter how good a lawyer you hire, this time it will definitely be a disaster. You'd better think about the terms of the settlement, if you really want to go to court, it won't be that simple. ”

Before Zhong Shi could speak, Jason's eyes suddenly widened, and he said dissatisfiedly: "This gentleman, can I understand that these words of yours are a threat to my client?" I remember you, George. Ryan, just wait for my complaint. ”

For a litigant in the presence of George. Ryan naturally didn't want to say anything more, just to Jason. Butler snorted coldly and walked out.

……

The back seat of a Mercedes, Jason. Butler stretched out his hand to Zhong Shi, who looked calm, "Mr. Zhong, get to know me, I'm your lawyer Jason. Butler. ”

"You're my lawyer?" Zhong Shi touched the tip of his nose and didn't stretch out his hand, "Mr. Jason, I'm sure you don't understand what the situation is, do you?" It's just because my lawyer can't be present in person right now. That's why my men came to you, and you're not my lawyer yet. ”

"Is that so?" Jason. Butler's expression suddenly became embarrassed, he never expected that he was a spare tire, but the embarrassment flashed on his face, and soon disappeared without a trace, after all, not everyone can write a cash check for half a million dollars. to let him do this kind of presence accompanying role. But soon he became interested in the lawyer Zhong Shi said, "Mr. Zhong, I just don't know which lawyer you are?" Also, what are you going to do about it? ”

"Alan. Mr. Sean, I wonder if Mr. Jason has ever heard of his name? Seeing that the other party had the meaning of breaking the casserole and asking the end, Zhong Shi simply said a name, "This matter, of course, we have to confront it in court." I don't want to reconcile and ruin my reputation. ”

Zhong Shi's voice was not loud though. But pass to Jason. Butler's ears were filled with thunder. If Jason. If Butler is a rising star in Wall Street law firms, then Allen Brown. Sean is a great figure in this industry. His law firm's clients include large corporations such as Mobil Oil, Stanley, Goodman, etc., and their consulting fees alone can get hundreds of millions of dollars a year, far more than Butler and Jon & Associates.

To be able to win the favor of these big businesses, naturally Allen. Sean's ability to handle legal matters is outstanding. and Jason, who is good at reconciliation. Butler is different in that Allen. Most of the cases Sean handled went to the appeal stage, and even to the Supreme Court. And it was a reversal of the verdict in the Supreme Court that made Allen . Sean has made him where he is today.

In a nutshell. This is an extremely tough lawyer who has no concept of compromise in his philosophical dictionary.

If Wall Street lawyers are ranked by type of specialty. No matter how it is arranged, in the past twenty years, Allen. Sean's name must be in the top three in the economics category.

For such a senior, Jason. Butler's admiration was visceral, which made him even more curious about Jong-seok's identity, "Please forgive my presumptuousness, Mr. Chung. Dare to ask you what is the reason for being targeted by lust. You know, they're very hard to mess with. Belch...... Let's put it this way, you are now found guilty, and if you can't prove your innocence, you will probably go to jail. ”

"I understand what you're talking about!" The corners of Zhong Shi's mouth grinned, "Is there any suspicion?" I still know that. However, I firmly believe that I am innocent, so do not say anything to me about a private reconciliation. ”

Seeing that Zhong Shi insisted on going to court, Jason. Butler naturally didn't want to say anything more, and for a while the carriage fell into a state of silence.

Soon, the car was back at the Tianyu Foundation's office in New York. Zhong Shi instructed the driver to take Jason. After Butler sent it back, he got out of the car door. But before he had taken two steps, he remembered something and turned back to Jason. Butler said, "Mr. Jason, I have one more thing I need your help with. ”

"Willing to serve you!" Jason. Butler hurriedly got out of the carriage and said to Zhong Shi with a humble attitude. He already knew that the other party was a very well-known person, so he naturally had a good relationship. Imagine a man who can make Allen. How can Sean's character be an ordinary person?

But at this time he didn't plan to dig Allen. Sean's wall, for no other reason, does not think that his legal attainments can be better than this famous predecessor.

"I believe that the court will come soon to summon me, and when the time comes to go to court to confirm my guilt, I hope that Mr. Jason can be my lawyer for a short time and help me deal with bail matters before my legal team is formed."

"Okay, that's fine!" Jason. Butler naturally agreed in one bite, but the next moment he was stunned, and after a while, he stammered, "What?" Sir, are you going to form a legal team? Is it an Ellen. Isn't Sean enough? He is one of the most prestigious legal attorneys in New York! ”

Zhong Shi smiled and replied nonchalantly, "You also saw how the detectives of Color C threatened me before. The current situation is that I am in the light and others are in the dark, so I still have to be more prepared just in case. Although I am innocent, I can't actually go to jail because of their lawsuit, and I don't want to waste my time in prison. ”

In the end, he seemed to be joking, and as if he was seriously inviting, "By the way, about this team of lawyers, I wonder if you are interested in joining Mr. Jason?" Of course, it won't be you, but the salary is definitely according to your standards. ”

"No problem!" Barely thinking, Jason. Butler immediately agreed. He knew very well that this opportunity was absolutely rare. (To be continued!)
