Fang Yi knew that Xu Zengshou had a thin foundation and no money in his hands, so how could he really let him spend money. Several managers of Brilliant basically know Fang Yi and know his relationship with the boss, and some Fang Yi has also helped them handle cases or answer legal advice, so now Fang Yi basically brushes his face when he goes to Brilliance, and even saves the card, and the whole process is free.

As soon as Fang Yi arrived at the law firm early the next morning, he was called to the office by Wan Kefa.

Fang Yi was taken aback when he entered the director's office, where Lao Song, who was good at criminal cases, and another lawyer named Wang Yong, who was in the team, were seated. Wang Yong, a lawyer who joined the WAGO team in the second half of last year, is said to be good at criminal cases, and Fang Yi only nodded to him.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, I'll tell you something. Last night I took over a second-instance criminal case. There were three defendants in total, and the first instance trial was tried by the Intermediate People's Court of a neighboring province, and two were sentenced to death and one was life definite.

Dissatisfied, the defendants have appealed to the High Court of the neighboring province, and now they are going to change their lawyers. One of the defendants in this case is the younger brother of one of our major customers, and the entrustment has been negotiated, and someone will come in the afternoon to sign the entrustment procedures.

Each of the three of you is responsible for one defendant. The first defendant Li Xibin was defended by Fang Yi, the second defendant Zou Yu was defended by Song Hui, and the third defendant Tian Yi was defended by Wang Yong.

After a while, the paralegal will send you the entrustment procedures and the first-instance judgment, and the difference fee will be lump sum. Feel free to come to me if you have any questions. Wan Kefa sat on the sofa and ordered the generals.

"Okay, I'll obey the director's arrangement, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Lao Song said.

He knows that Wan Ke Law will never cheat himself, and generally speaking, the criminal cases designated by Wan Ke Fa are not particularly complicated, or they are requested by the client by name.

Wan Kefa personally came forward to arrange this case, and the lawyer's fees charged must not be low, and it has happened a few times before, so Lao Song has nothing to worry about. On the spot, he expressed his obedience to the organizational arrangement.

Fang Yi didn't have anything to say, and nodded in agreement with the boss's arrangement.

Wang Yong was the first time to receive a criminal case assigned by the team, and when he joined the team, Feng Tianzhu, the first assistant of Wan Kefa, had mentioned to him about handling the designated case, and he agreed at that time, so he didn't say anything, but he didn't know how much the lawyer's fee was.

"Fang Yi, wait a minute, I have something to look for you." Just as Fang Yi was about to follow Lao Song and Wang Yong out, he was stopped by Wan Kefa.

After the old Song and the two went out, Fang Yi asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"This case was personally introduced by Mr. Li, the founder of Guangyao Group, for this case I talked to Mr. Li in the middle of the night yesterday, and the defense lawyer of the previous trial he hired a lawyer from Beijing, but he was very dissatisfied with the result, so this time it was replaced by us.

I listened to Mr. Li talk about the case, I think this case does not necessarily constitute the crime of kidnapping, it may be the bad luck of the lawyer in the first instance, anyway, this case is an opportunity for us to show our face, you have to seize the opportunity.

Guangyao Group is a potential big customer of our team, I have known them for four or five years, Mr. Li has known them for four or five years, before I wanted to develop Guangyao Group as our client, but the law firm in Beijing was very dead, and I never had a chance. If this case can be solved, the business of Guangyao Group will be ours in the future.

The first defendant, Li Xibin, is the younger brother of Mr. Li, and the other two are from the security department of Guangyao Group, so the lawyer's fees for this case are all paid by Mr. Li.

Mr. Li asked you to represent his brother's case, and his brother's lawyer's fee was 300,000 yuan, and if the judgment could be changed, Mr. Li verbally promised to reward another 100,000 yuan.

In fact, this is not important, what is important is the opportunity for us to cooperate with Guangyao Group in the future. Wan Kefa smiled.

"I'll give it a try, and after reading the case file, I'll discuss the defense plan with you." Fang Yi nodded.

"Well, don't stress too much." Wan Kefa smiled.

In the afternoon, the families of the three defendants came to Wanhua United Law Firm, and Fang Yi and other three lawyers communicated with the clients in the three conference rooms to understand the case and sign the entrustment procedures. The purpose of questioning the clients separately is also to better understand the facts of the case, so as to avoid the interaction between the three clients.

In the third conference room, sitting opposite Fang Yi was a man in his fifties, with a big oily back and a very imposing appearance. This is Mr. Li mentioned by Wan Kefa before, Mr. Li sat there, not angry and arrogant, giving people a condescending feeling, which made Fang Yi feel uncomfortable.

Wan Kefa took a look, exchanged a few words with Mr. Li and left.

"Lawyer Fang, I have read your introduction, and I have also heard Lao Wan introduce you. It's really good, and I'll leave my brother's case to you. Mr. Li said very politely, but there was no politeness in his expression.

"Mr. Li, you're polite, this is what we should do." After speaking, Fang Yi turned his head to look at Zhou Ying beside him: "Xiao Zhou, show the entrustment procedures to Mr. Li." ”

Zhou Ying got up and came to Mr. Li's side with the entrustment procedures, and respectfully handed over the entrustment procedures to Mr. Li.

"Well, it's the same as what I talked to Lao Wan before." After Mr. Li finished speaking, he signed the entrustment procedures.

"Mr. Li, does your brother Li Xibin's lover know about our signing of the entrustment procedures?" Fang Yi asked suddenly.

"I don't know, what do you mean......" Mr. Li looked at Fang Yi with some confusion.

"I'm afraid that his lover has appointed another lawyer, and if you haven't communicated with each other, the defense plans of the lawyers on both sides will be inconsistent, which will be embarrassing." Fang Yi explained.

"Oh! It's okay, his daughter-in-law divorced her the year before last, and legally he is now single and only has a son who is in junior high school. I have full authority to represent his opinion. "Mr. Li has a big deal.

"Oh, I see. Do you know the specifics of your brother Li Xibin's case? Fang Yi asked.

"I don't understand. My younger brother used to be a manager in a subsidiary of our group, but his limited education level made a mess of the company, and then I asked him to become the vice president of the security department of the group company.

He felt that he was making less money, so he set up another company outside, specializing in transportation. To put it bluntly, it is to get more than 20 carts to transport goods back and forth in several nearby provinces and cities.

I heard from the lawyer of the first instance that he tied up the debtor because of the recovery of transportation expenses, got it to our side, and planned to ask the other party for money, but the debtor died less than two days after being brought back. The Intermediate People's Court of a neighboring province found him guilty of kidnapping and sentenced him to death.

That's all I know. Mr. Li said while thinking.

"Well, I understand, in the next two days, I will go to the neighboring provincial high court to read the file, and then go to the detention center to meet, and when I find out the situation, I will make a defense plan, and then we will communicate." Fang Yi said.

After sending Mr. Li and the others away, Fang Yi communicated with Lao Song and Wang Yong, and everyone learned about the same situation, after which Fang Yi asked Zhou Ying to make an appointment to meet in the detention center and read the court file.
