Chapter 213: Misfortune Leads to the East

Zhao Zhongzhong looked at Chu Huai with a smile: "No, I am a pig-killing knife at best, but you are Lawyer Chu, you can develop business outside, you can do cases inside, you are a real sword (cheap)!" I'm far worse off than you. ”

Zhao Zhongzhong looked down on Chu Huai in his heart, not only because the two began to fight openly and secretly as soon as they entered the law firm, but also because Chu Huai did not distinguish between inside and outside.

People complained about Justice Law Firm and Fang Yi, you Chu Huai gloat! Even if you don't like Fang Yi, you shouldn't say such cool things at this time, don't forget that you are a lawyer at Justice Law Firm. If the reputation of Justice Law Firm is damaged and the business is not as good as before, can you Chu Huai get a cheap price or nothing?

I don't understand the truth of both prosperity and loss, and I have lived in the belly of a dog for decades. Zhao Zhongzhong felt a wave of slander in his heart.

"Be modest, Lawyer Zhao, you are humble. I'll serve you in our law firm. Chu Huai patted Zhao Zhongzhong's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Don't say that, if the director hears it, it's time to say that we're going to have a small group, it's not good." Zhao Zhongpi smiled and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, the director invited someone to dinner at night, and he went out a long time ago, and he was not in the office." Chu Huaida grinned.

Early the next morning, Fang Yi and Director Sun walked into the conference room of the Bar Association.

In the conference room sat three lawyers from the Disciplinary Committee, who were the same people sent by the Bar Association to investigate Fang Yi's unfair competition.

"Lawyer Fang, I have already informed you of the content of the complaint just now. Is there anything you'd like to say? A bespectacled male lawyer sitting in the middle asked.

"Some people have complained that I represented Zhao Cuixia in the case pro bono and disrupted the legal market, but I don't agree with this. First of all, Zhao Cuixia is the daughter-in-law of my brother Fang Mao, that is, my sister-in-law.

Before, my brother Fang Mao took care of my father, and we were relatives who didn't come out of Wufu, so the two families moved around a lot and had a good relationship.

They came to me out of trust in me, and I represented his daughter-in-law for free, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Shouldn't this be considered a disruption of normal market competition, right?

Moreover, the current Anti-Unfair Competition Law and the Rules for the Punishment of Violations by Members of the Lawyers Association (for Trial Implementation) do not classify the act of unfair competition as an act of unfair competition if the fee standard for the representation of relatives and friends is lower than the market guide price, and I think the other party's complaint is completely nonsense. Fang Yi argued.

"Lawyer Fang, I think you may have forgotten that our city has issued the "Guiding Standards for the Lawyer Service Charging Industry", and your behavior violates the provisions of the guiding standards." The bespectacled male lawyer said with a serious face.

"You also said that it is the "Guiding Standards for the Lawyer Service Fee Industry", the reason why it is called a guiding standard, not a law or regulation, is because it is only a guiding norm, not a law or regulation, to put it bluntly, the guiding standard you just said is not compulsory, just a reference." Fang Yi retorted.

Fang Yi's words were speechless, both embarrassing and a little embarrassing, and the male lawyer with glasses was a little unable to get off the stage. Oh, yes! The Lawyers Association is determined to punish lawyers, but they can't find a clear legal basis.

"Lawyer Fang, don't get excited, let's not investigate, just make things clear. By the way, what is the final result of the case of Zhao Cuixia you represented? Humpty Dumpty, who was sitting on the left, smiled with a harmless expression.

The case was won, and the verdict was changed to not guilty in the second instance. This is the verdict. I also brought the case file. Fang Yi handed over a copy of the verdict and the case file.

After lawyer Humpty Dumpty took the verdict, he nodded at the other two: "This case is beautiful, the quality of the cases done by Lawyer Fang in the past two years is still quite high, and many not-guilty defenses have been supported by the court." ”

"Yes, our lawyer Fang Yi is still very professional, he is a doctor of criminal law, he used to teach and educate people, and later became a lawyer to defend justice and fairness, and he has always been very good.

I don't think this matter is really unfair competition, first of all, the client is a relative of lawyer Fang and has a special relationship, which cannot be measured by market rules.

In addition, although it is a free agent, Fang Yi is still very dedicated and has not reduced the quality of case handling because of no fees, which shows that lawyer Fang has the professional ethics that a lawyer should have.

If the Bar Association wants to investigate and what it will investigate, we will definitely cooperate with the Justice Law Firm. ”

Son Zhengyi and the three opposite are all old acquaintances, and what they say is both inside and out, not only arguing with reason, but also giving each other a step down, so as not to make things stiff, he is indeed an old man.

More than half an hour later, Fang Yi and Son Zhengyi walked out of the door of the Bar Association.

"I inquired last night, and someone wanted to mess with you, so I deliberately collected your materials to complain about you." Director Sun walked to his car, took out a Huazi and handed it over.

Fang Yi took the cigarette and looked at Sun Zhengyi in surprise: "me?" I've only been a full-time lawyer for more than a year, so I don't seem to have offended anyone! ”

"Really didn't offend anyone? Think again. Sun Zhengyi was lighting a cigarette with a lighter in his hand, and when he heard Fang Yi say this, he asked rhetorically.

Fang Yi was excited, and suddenly remembered Wu Xiaoqing: "You mean Fair Law Firm?" ”

With a cigarette in his mouth, Son didn't speak, but nodded.

In fact, Fang Yi was implicated because of the battle between Justice Law Firm and Fairness Law Firm, so he was complained, but Son Zhengyi couldn't say that, he was afraid that Fang Yi would hate Justice Law Firm and hate himself.

In such a confusion, he will lead to trouble and point all the fingers at the Fair Law Firm, maybe he can hook up Fang Yi's hatred, let Fang Yi unite with himself for a longer time, and fight wits and courage with Gu Qingping.

Son Zhengyi pondered, even if Fang Yi did not get involved in the struggle between the two law firms, as long as he did not change firms, it would be a signboard, and the punishment of the lawyers association was nothing, it was not a fart, as long as the parties recognized Fang Yi, nothing else mattered.

Looking at Fang Yi's hesitant expression, Director Sun knew that he was a little undecided, and he didn't know if what he said was true or not.

"The three lawyers in charge of the investigation just now, the one surnamed Li with glasses in the middle, is from the Municipal Lawyers Association, and Gu Qingping is a drinking friend, and the two have a good relationship, and you can hear that he is a little targeted at you.

That Humpty Dumpty surnamed Gu, who used to practice in the county and had a good relationship with me, later went to the city to develop, and is now a member of the Disciplinary Committee of the Municipal Lawyers Association.

Gu Qingping had looked for him before, but he was still relatively positive. In addition, the lawyer has not spoken much, and it is estimated that Gu Qingping has also looked for him.

So no matter what kind of punishment the Municipal Lawyers Association gives you this time, don't be surprised, do your own thing, and don't worry about anything else. The wicked have their own evil retribution! Justice will come eventually. Son said.
