Just as he was waiting for the bus back to his residence, Mr. Son's call arrived. Director Sun told him that the other party would come to the office on Monday for the criminal case of the Zhong family he talked about before, so that he could prepare and strive to win the case.

Hanging up the phone, Fang Yi knew that there was a drama in this case, otherwise the parties would not have found it back. He was both excited and apprehensive that this case could become the first criminal case he signed after joining the law firm.

He couldn't wait, waiting to see the party felt like he was about to see his girlfriend during the love period, afraid of her coming, afraid that she wouldn't come, and even more afraid that she would come!

On Monday morning, Fang Yi met Zhong Bin, and the two didn't exchange too many pleasantries, and went straight to the point.

"Lawyer Fang, I have read the case you sent, although your opinion is contrary to the opinions of several lawyers we met before, but my father and I still trust you more in comparison.

We want to entrust my brother's case to you, I wonder if you accept the commission? Zhong Bin said sincerely.

"No problem, I accept the commission, thank you and your father for your trust." Fang Yi said. Although he had already guessed the answer, when the other party proposed the commission, he was still a little excited, and his heart finally let go.

"Lawyer Fang, my brother's case will be heard on the 10th of next month, what do you think of the lawyer's fees?" Zhong Bin asked.

Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, and he signed the contract with the negotiation of the case, and forgot to ask Director Sun how to collect the lawyer's fees.

"I am mainly responsible for negotiating the specific situation of the case and the defense plan, and the lawyer's fees are set by our director, you wait a minute, I will ask the director." After Fang Yi finished speaking, he got up and left the conference room and went to the director's office.

After listening to Fang Yi's report, Sun Zhengyi was overjoyed, and stretched out his hand to scratch his head: "Charge him 30,000 yuan for this case!" The income in our county is low, and although the Zhong family is considered a rich person, according to you, Zhong Wen's case is basically a sure thing, and there is a high probability that he will be sentenced, but it is just a matter of a few days more and a few days.

If you can help them reduce their sentences, the case will be won! The person concerned must be grateful to Dade. ”

"Okay! I get it, I'm going to give it my all. Fang Yi was about to leave after speaking, but was stopped by Sun Zhengyi.

"After a while, you talk to the client about the case, try to say that the sentence is higher, and the top point is to minimize the client's expectations.

When the court sentences it, as long as the sentence is lower than what you say, the person concerned will definitely feel that it is your credit and will not mess with you. Son patiently imparted his experience.

Fang Yi thought about it for a while and understood that if the client's expectations were too high, he would have been guilty, and he had to let the lawyer defend himself according to his innocence, and the lawyer would definitely not be able to explain to the client after the court sentenced. Even if the lawyer fulfills the duty of reminder, the client may still behave as a demon, and even if he does not say it openly, he will secretly ruin the lawyer's reputation.

The lawyer cannot give an accurate sentence at all at the stage of discussing the case, because the sentence according to that crime and the sentence of how many years to sentence are not at all under the control of the lawyer, and the lawyer can only use the law to let the criminal suspect squat in it for a few days as little as possible, and try to defend his innocence when encountering a problematic case, and that's it, this is the role of the lawyer.

Therefore, it is particularly important to lower the expectations of the parties when discussing the case, if the parties can accept the lawyer's defense strategy, the subsequent trial will be very smooth, if not, the lawyer should consider whether to take the case.

Son's words will not harm the interests of the client, but will only make the lawyer's representation of the case smoother, so Fang Yi agrees with his statement.

"Lawyer Fang, what did Director Sun say?" Zhong Bin saw Fang Yi walk into the conference room and asked.

"What Director Sun means, your brother's lawyer's fee is 30,000 yuan. Until the verdict comes out. Fang Yi said.

"Well, I'll go back and talk to my dad, and if it's okay, we'll come over tomorrow morning to sign the contract. Can I get a copy of the entrustment agreement? I'll take it back and show it to my dad. Zhong Bin said.

"Okay, I'll print you a copy in a minute, it's all in our standard text." Fang Yi said and sent a message to the front desk and asked the front desk to print a commission agreement for a criminal case.

"Lawyer Fang, I want to ask you again, how many years do you estimate that my brother can be sentenced in this case?" Zhong Bin said.

"The offence of rape is generally punishable by imprisonment for a term of not less than three years but not more than ten years. If there are legally prescribed circumstances for aggravating punishment, a sentence of 10 or more years imprisonment, life imprisonment or death is to be given.

However, I don't think there is any aggravating punishment in your brother's case, the sentence should be between three years and ten years, and the specific litigation plan will be communicated after we sign the agreement! Fang Yi said.

Now that the case has not been signed, and the lawyer's fee has not been paid, at this time, the party may take the plan given by the lawyer to find a cheap lawyer to represent the case, Fang Yi is afraid that Zhong Bin will continue to ask, so he can only say so much.

Zhong Bin is a businessman, so he naturally understood what Fang Yi meant, so he quit and left the law firm.

Justice Law Firm does not have too much business, and only three of the seven existing lawyers are salaried lawyers, Fang Yi counts one, and the other two are named Zhao Zhongzhong and Chu Huai.

Zhao Zhongzhong is 35 years old, and his family is local, living in a village not far from the county seat. Chu Huai was forty years old, his hometown was in the county, and later he entered the system with his own drill camp, and then he couldn't get along and changed his career to become a lawyer.

Lawyer Zhao is a guild, and his practice is not refined, which is a typical panacea, and it is the kind of three-no-product panacea with very poor quality.

Chu Huai's professional level is stronger than Zhao Zhongzhong, otherwise he would not have practiced for more than ten years and is still working as a salaried lawyer.

When Zhong Bin's family first came to consult Zhong Wen's criminal case, they were received by Zhao Zhongzhong, but after the negotiation, the Zhong family had no follow-up. After Son had a cheeky approach with Zhong Bin a few times, he learned that the Zhong family was very dissatisfied with Lawyer Zhao after meeting other lawyers, and felt that his professional ability was not good.

Later, Fang Yi resigned to join the law firm as a lawyer, Sun Zhengyi decided to try again, and it took a lot of effort to pull the Zhong family over again, and the case was really completed by Fang Yi.

Seeing that the case he talked about was about to be signed, Zhao Zhongzhong felt good in his heart, this is not a slap in the face in public!

Although he and Fang Yi had no intersection before, Fang Yi had not officially come to work as a lawyer in the law firm, and they had only met a few times, and they had not even spoken, but Zhao Zhongzhong had already hated him.

Fang Yi didn't know all this, and Sun Zhengyi didn't think much about it, but Chu Huai saw everything in his eyes!

In fact, Chu Huai's mood is not much better than Zhao Zhongzhong, Sun Zhengyi's old boy handed over a fat job to a lawyer who had just entered the firm and had not officially gone to work, didn't this clearly mean that there was no one in the firm now! This was not only him Zhao Zhongzhong who was slapped in the face, but also a lawyer Chu who ate melons.
