"I think Lawyer Fang is quite professional, he handled Yu Sanqiang's case before, he is experienced, and it is not difficult to communicate. What do you think? After Zhou Jiangyong finished speaking, he looked at Ai Yajie.

"But Lawyer Fang can only defend Da Meng's minor crimes, and the lawyer's fees are not low...... so why don't you let Lawyer Zhang try again?" Ai Yajie bit her lip and lowered her head and said.

"At the beginning of the first trial, Lawyer Zhang defended Dameng's innocence, but the court did not admit it at all, and Lawyer Zhang spoke in a fog, I think Lawyer Fang is more reliable." Zhou Jiangyong retorted.

"Actually, Lawyer Zhang is also quite professional, we don't understand because they are lawyers, we are not." Ayajie replied.

"Do you think Lawyer Zhang's fees are low, that's why you say that? Da Meng was sentenced to ten years in the first instance, this is not a matter of saving money, if you don't have enough money in your hand, I will make up for it. Zhou Jiangyong stared at Ai Yajie and said.

"Big brother, I didn't mean that......" Ayajie looked embarrassed.

When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Fang Yi received a call from Yu Sanqiang.

"Mr. Yu, is there something wrong?" Fang Yi asked.

"Lawyer Fang, Zhou Jiangyong, who went to look for you this afternoon, he called me just now and said that you are quite professional, that is...... The cost is a little higher. Yu Sanqiang said.

Fang Yi smiled: "Mr. Yu, how much money do you think he can accept?" ”

"What about the lawyer's fee of 100,000 yuan? Can you accept it? Yu Sanqiang asked tentatively.

"One hundred thousand...... Okay, we're all friends, I'll just give way. Fang Yi said with embarrassment.

Yu Sanqiang opened his mouth, his brother's company was a big customer of the team, Fang Yi felt that this face could be given, in fact, when he was bidding before, Fang Yi left room for bargaining, but he didn't expect Yu Sanqiang to remove one-third of the lawyer's fees at a fixed price.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Zhou Jiangyong." After Yu Sanqiang hung up the phone, he rubbed his face vigorously and muttered, "Grass! I wanted Lawyer Fang to owe me a favor for this, but now I owe Lawyer Fang a favor. ”

The next morning, Zhou Jiangyong and Ai Yajie came to the law firm again, went through the entrustment procedures with Fang Yi, and paid 100,000 yuan in lawyer fees. Zhou Jiangyong has only one condition, his brother's case must be handled by Fang Yi himself, and cannot be handed over to other lawyers.

……

A day later, Fang Yi took Yun Qiao to the detention center in the county below Beibian City to meet with the defendant Zhou Jiangmeng. Zhou Jiangmeng's statement of the incident is similar to what he knew before.

"Lawyer Fang, I have never stolen anything from others since I was a child, I don't understand, how can it be a theft when I pick up a passbook? He also sentenced me to ten years ......, and I don't accept it! Zhou Jiang frowned, his face depressed.

"Well, I also think that the court's conviction of you for theft is an error in the application of law and an improper crime. But you do commit a crime. Fang Yi said.

"What? constitutes a crime. That's not what the previous lawyer said. He said that I did not constitute a crime, and I returned the money that should be returned......" Zhou Jiangmeng was a little confused.

He complained to his daughter-in-law and eldest brother in his heart: How can I find a lawyer who is more powerful than the other, and when I come up, I will say that I have committed a crime, so can't I find a professional one?

"You pick up a passbook, this thing itself does not constitute a crime, because a passbook is just a few pieces of paper, even if you don't hand it in, you can't find money, and everyone will say that you have a problem with your morality. After all, we all have a selfish side.

But if you take out the money in the passbook by guessing the password and take it for yourself, if the victim doesn't call the police and the public security organ cracks the case and arrests you, will you return the money to the victim? The victim is an ordinary employee, how many years do you have to save more than 100,000 yuan, have you thought about it?

Do you still think you're innocent? Do you think the police arrested you by mistake?

If you keep thinking like this, the court of second instance will definitely think that you are unrepentant and have a problematic attitude in admitting guilt, and even if the court adopts my defense opinion and changes the charge, it will be difficult to lenient the sentence.

From the point of view of the amount of crime, the amount of your criminal proceeds is huge, and the sentencing standard is between three and ten years in prison, what does this mean, I think you should be clear, remember that it is you who will suffer in prison in the end, not others.

If you think I don't speak well, you can ask for a change of lawyer and find another lawyer to defend your innocence, and try it. I can only defend you for the lesser crimes, and it is impossible for you to make a defense of not guilty according to your wishes. After Fang Yi finished speaking, he stared at him, waiting for him to make a statement.

Nest grass! This lawyer is impulsive enough to speak, and he has enough personality.

Zhou Jiangmeng was suppressed, he didn't want to spend ten years in prison, the lawyer gave him a not-guilty defense at the first trial, he confessed to the crime, but he didn't think he constituted a crime, and the court sentenced him to ten years for theft.

The second trial is his opportunity, he said that he was innocent, but he was beating the drum vigorously in his heart, in case it was really as the middle-aged lawyer in front of him said, the court of second instance changed the charge, and the sentence was not changed...... how to survive in this ten years of prison, when the daughter-in-law ran away, the family would be dispersed.

Zhou Jiangmeng's eyes began to flicker, he didn't dare to try, he tried for ten years, who could stand this!

Yun Qiao, who was sitting next to Fang Yi, widened her eyes and looked at her master and Zhou Jiangmeng opposite in surprise, this was the first time she had seen Fang Yi talk like this since she had followed her master to handle the case, and the whole person was stunned.

Fang ...... Lawyer Fang, I didn't mean that. I'm just a big boss, I've been locked up for so long, I'm under a lot of pressure, I don't want to get out early. I don't change lawyers, listen to you. You can help me. Zhou Jiang was convinced.

Hearing him say this, Fang Yi's heart was a lot more relaxed.

Walking out of the detention center, Yun Qiao let out a sigh: "Master, you really scared me in there just now, I was really afraid of the stunned person opposite, and directly asked for a change of lawyer." ”

"Actually, I'm afraid that he will say this, but I'm afraid that I can't help it, if a criminal lawyer is led by the defendant by the nose and is always passive, do you think we can handle this case?" Fang Yi took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it, then turned his head to look at Yun Qiao.

"Well, that's better than not doing it. If the defendant listens to everything, the lawyer's value will not be great, and in the end, the defense will have no effect, and maybe the client will have to scold the lawyer. The lawyer also smashed his own brand.

Master, I have learned another trick from you. Yun Qiao said seriously.

"What you learn in school is the knowledge in books, and when you enter the social system, you learn the way of survival, which is different. The big classroom of society does not look at scores, and you have been struggling for test scores since you were six years old in elementary school until you graduated from graduate school, and you have now changed from a student to a self-reliant social person, and your thinking must change as soon as possible.

Although there is no test score in society, everything you deal with is an assessment of you. Society is a hundred times crueler than school.

You must be pragmatic, think more about everything and say less, and throw away those useless, delicate, and seemingly truthful nonsense. Fang Yi looked at Yun Qiao, he didn't know why he said so much to this little apprentice, maybe it was because of Yun Mei's relationship.
