A week later, the second-instance verdict in Dou Tao's case came down. Fang Yi went to the Intermediate People's Court to get the verdict.

The Intermediate People's Court held that the facts found in the original judgment were unclear, and the conviction and application of law were erroneous, and corrected it. Appellant Dou Tao's conduct did not constitute the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble.

After discussion and decision by the adjudication committee, in accordance with the provisions of item 3 of paragraph 1 of article 225 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, paragraphs 1 and 2 of article 20 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, and article 13, the judgment is as follows: 1. Revoke the criminal judgment of the county people's court. 2. Appellant Dou Tao is not guilty.

Dou Tao, who received the news, came to the law firm that afternoon, and the other party thanked him again and again. It was only at this time that Jiang Xue felt that the lawyer's fees were not lost.

This year's cold spring is a bit fierce, a few days ago wearing thin down felt hot, these two days on the road pedestrians have changed into winter clothes.

As the saying goes: cold and love cold, Ma Yi is like this.

At this moment, Ma Yi was sitting in Fang Yi's office, holding a box of facial tissues in his hand, wiping his nose from time to time, Fang Yi was sitting far away from him, one was afraid that he would throw the big snot on himself, and the other was afraid of being infected with a cold.

"Don't sit so far, I have a cold caused by wind and cold, not a viral cold, and it is not contagious." Saying that, Ma Yi moved forward with Fang Yi.

"You don't fool me, who knows how you got a cold, you see the person concerned all day long, do ideological work for the majority of women compatriots, and you can't keep the person who has a cold and infects you.

I still have a middle school student at home, if you catch a cold, it will directly affect your academic performance, so you'd better accumulate some virtue and stay away from me. With that, Fang Yi lifted his butt and moved from the sofa to the chair behind the desk.

Ma Yi was not angry or annoyed, took out a tissue, and said in a thick nasal voice: "That's right, I have a diagnosis certificate from the hospital, and an expert prescribed it." ”

"Don't fool me with experts, experts are not good at me." Fang Yi said: "What's the matter, hurry up, my paper basket is about to be filled with your snot paper." ”

"This is said as if anyone's paper basket has not been full...... I will introduce you to the case, the lawyer's fee is a bit low, 10,000 yuan. But you don't have to give me an introduction fee, why don't you do it? Ma Yi asked.

"10,000 lawyer fees, you don't want introduction fees?" Fang Yi wondered.

"That's right, buddy is selfless enough, I think we can't just look at the money, as a lawyer, we have to have a sense of social responsibility, I just don't do criminal cases, otherwise I will definitely do this work myself." Ma Yi said angrily.

"If you say that, forget it. I don't earn 10,000 yuan in lawyer's fees. Fang Yi pretended to be cold.

He knows that Ma Yi is not the kind of saint with a strong sense of social responsibility at all, and it is most appropriate to describe him as unprofitable, but Ma Yi belongs to the kind of lawyer who 'steals and has a way', and will not cheat his colleagues, otherwise the lawyers in the team will not have such a harmonious relationship with him, and Wan Kefa will not tolerate him.

Fang Yi felt that Lao Huang's evaluation of Ma Yi was still very pertinent: a little white face, flowery eyes, and his professional ability was as good as his appearance, but he was mercenary, but he was still very interesting to his buddies.

As soon as Ma Yi's righteous and awe-inspiring words came out today, Fang Yi immediately realized that something was abnormal, there must be a demon when something went wrong, and he was sure that this matter was definitely not as simple as Ma Yi said.

"Okay then, how about 20,000 yuan? If it weren't for the good relationship between the two of us, I would have looked for Lao Song a long time ago, and Lao Song would have done it for 5,000 yuan. Ma Yi said very arrogantly.

"Okay, I'll call Lawyer Song and ask him if he can do 5,000 or not, if he does, you give me 10,000, and I'll give Old Song 5,000 ......" As he spoke, Fang Yi picked up his mobile phone and made a gesture to call Lawyer Song.

"Stop! Stop it! …… I took it, a capital one. Lao Fang, what a pure lawyer you used to be, how did you become so cunning now, was it influenced by Lao Huang, he brought you badly! Ma Yi showed a look of regret.

"Less nonsense, what the hell is going on, recruit from the truth!" Fang Yi said impatiently.

"Okay. Let me tell you the truth, some time ago Ouyang Jie introduced me to a divorce case, and I represented the woman. Don't ask me why I represent the woman again, I don't know, the key is that the man doesn't look for me.

The parties have a lot of property to share, they have houses and cars, but they are all local, if they are from the capital, why do I have to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars from her. Ma Yidao.

"Getting to the point." Fang Yi said.

"I collected a total of 300,000 yuan in this divorce case, deducting 30% of the office and 15% of Ouyang, in fact, I also took more than 100,000 yuan, and I actually didn't have much money left after deducting taxes.

This is a commission agreement, don't believe it. With that, Ma Yi threw the entrustment agreement to Fang Yi.

"What's the deal with this condition?" Fang Yi saw that there was a special agreement in the entrustment agreement, asking Ma Yi to coordinate Fang Yi to handle the criminal case of the party's cousin.

"The person concerned has a cousin who is said to have killed someone, and now she is being held in a detention center, and the case file is currently in the procuratorate. When the client saw that I was a lawyer at Wanhua United Law Firm, she asked about you, and later she knew that you and I were in a team, so she added such an additional condition.

She is responsible for the lawyer's fees in her cousin's case, which are all included in the total costs. The specific amount needed is up to us to discuss, anyway, it doesn't exceed the total.

You say, how much is right. ”

After speaking, Ma Yi continued with a look of grievance: "Old Fang, it's not easy for me to get a case, it's the end of March, I just got a decent case, considering that I'm not married yet, this daughter-in-law has to spend money to buy a house, you must be merciful." ”

"You don't bluff me, what's going on with the criminal case?" Fang Yi asked. He had to understand the facts of the case before estimating the lawyer's fees.

"I don't know much, it is said that because of the love killing, the cousin of the person concerned thought that her colleague had seduced her boyfriend and chopped her colleague with a kitchen knife more than 1,000 knives......" Ma Yidao said.

"How many, more than a thousand dollars?" Fang Yi said in astonishment, his mouth open enough to put down an egg.

"No, look at my mouth, more than a hundred knives, that's right, it's more than a hundred cuts." Ma Yidao.

"If so, this is a death penalty case!" Fang Yi thought about it and said, it is estimated that this case will go through a procedure.

"Who's to say it isn't. Therefore, the parties want to pack two cases for us. You promised? Ma Yi looked at Fang Yi.

"There must be no problem in handling the case...... for the sake of your hard work, I will charge 30,000 lawyer fees." Fang Yi said.

"Thirty thousand? Let's get a discount, how about 20,000? Ma Yi habitually bargained.

"26,000 yuan, no less, just the first instance. No channel fees, no referral fees. Fang Yi said.

"Deal!" After Ma Yi and Fang Yi reached an agreement, they were happily sent to contact the parties.
