Lawyer

Chapter 498 The chance to show your face

Fang Yi knew that Xu Zengshou was weak and had no money, so how could he really let him spend money.The managers of Brilliant basically know Fang Yi and know his relationship with the boss. Some Fang Yi has helped them with cases or answered legal consultations. All saved, all free.

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

As soon as Fang Yi entered the director's office, he was taken aback. Inside sat Lao Song, who was good at criminal cases in the team, and another lawyer named Wang Yong.Wang Yong is a lawyer who joined the Wanke Law team in the second half of last year. It is said that he is good at criminal cases. Fang Yi and him are just acquaintances.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let me tell you something. I took over a criminal case of the second trial last night. There are three defendants in total. The first trial was heard by the intermediate court of a neighboring province. They were sentenced for the crime of kidnapping. Two death sentences, one life sentence.

The defendant refused to accept it and has already appealed to the High Court of the neighboring province. Now they want to change their lawyers.One of the defendants in this case is the younger brother of a major client of ours. The entrustment has been negotiated, and someone will come to sign the entrustment formalities in the afternoon.

Each of you three is responsible for one defendant.The first defendant, Li Xibin, is defended by Fang Yi, the second defendant, Zou Yu, is defended by Song Hui, and the third defendant, Tian Yi, is defended by Wang Yong. You are ready, and the family members of the defendants will come to sign the entrustment formalities in the afternoon.

After a while, the paralegal will send you the entrustment procedures and the first-instance verdict, and the difference rate will be a lump sum.Come to me anytime if you have any questions. "Wan Kefa sat on the sofa and dispatched troops.

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

He knew that Wankefa would never deceive himself. Generally speaking, the criminal cases appointed by Wankefa were not particularly complicated, or were requested by customers by name.

Wan Kefa personally arranged for this case, and the lawyer's fee must not be low. It has happened several times before, so Lao Song has nothing to worry about.Make a statement on the spot to obey the organization's arrangements.

Fang Yi had nothing to say, and nodded in agreement with the boss's arrangement.

It was the first time for Wang Yong to receive a criminal case assigned by the team. When he joined the team, Feng Tianzhu, the first assistant of Wankefa, once mentioned to him about handling the assigned case, and he also agreed at that time, so he didn't say anything. , I just don't know how much the lawyer's fee is.

"Fang Yi wait a moment, I have something to see you." Just as Fang Yi was about to go out with Lao Song and Wang Yong, Wan Kefa stopped him.

After Lao Song and his wife went out, Fang Yi asked, "What's the matter?"

"This case was personally introduced by Mr. Li, the founder of Guangyao Group. I talked to Mr. Li about this case in the middle of the night yesterday. The defense lawyer of the first instance hired a lawyer from Beijing, but he was very dissatisfied with the result, so this It's time for us.

I heard Mr. Li talk about the case. I think this case does not necessarily constitute a crime of kidnapping. It may be that the lawyer of the first trial was unlucky. Anyway, this case is an opportunity for us to show our faces. You should seize the opportunity.

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

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

Mr. Li asked you to represent his brother's case by name. His brother's lawyer fee is 30 yuan. If the sentence can be changed, Mr. Li verbally promised to reward another [-] yuan.

In fact, this is not important, what is important is our future cooperation opportunities with Guangyao Group. Wan Kefa smiled.

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

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

In the afternoon, the family members of the three defendants came to Wanhua United Law Firm. Fang Yi and other three lawyers communicated with the client in three conference rooms to understand the case and sign the entrustment procedures.Inquiring the clients separately is also to better understand the case, so as to avoid mutual influence between the three clients.

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

Wan Kefa met each other, exchanged a few words with Mr. Li, and left.

"Lawyer Fang, I've seen your introduction, and I've heard Lao Wan introduce you. You are indeed excellent. I will entrust you with my brother's case." Mr. Li said very politely, but he couldn't tell from his expression Not at all polite.

"Mr. Li, you are welcome. This is what we should do." After speaking, Fang Yi turned to look at Zhou Ying beside him: "Xiao Zhou, show Mr. Li the entrustment procedures."

Zhou Ying got up and came to Mr. Li 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." Mr. Li signed the entrustment formalities after speaking.

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

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

"I'm afraid that his wife has entrusted other lawyers. If you haven't communicated with each other, the defense plans of the two sides will be inconsistent, which will be embarrassing." Fang Yi explained.

"Oh! It's okay. His wife divorced her the year before last. Legally speaking, he is single now, with only one son who is in junior high school. I can fully represent his opinions." Mr. Li said in a big way.

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

"I don't know. My younger brother used to be the manager of a subsidiary under our group, but his limited education made the company messy. Later, I asked him to work as the vice president of the security department of the group company.

He felt that he was making little 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 first-instance lawyer that he tied up the debtor because he was chasing the transportation fee, and got it to our side, intending to demand money from the other party, but the debtor died less than two days after he was brought back.The intermediate court of the neighboring province found him guilty of kidnapping and sentenced him to death.

I only know so much. "President Li said while thinking.

"Well, I understand. In the next two days, I will go to the neighboring province's high court to review the papers, and then go to the detention center for an interview. After I have figured out the situation, I will make a defense plan. We will communicate with each other then." Fang Yi said.

After seeing off Mr. Li and others, Fang Yi communicated with Lao Song and Wang Yong, and everyone learned about the same situation. Afterwards, Fang Yi asked Zhou Ying to make an appointment with the detention center and court review.
