Original statement: This article is based on the transcript of the ** content of Beijing Dacheng lawyer Liu Weiyuan, which is the original work of lawyer Liu Weiyuan and may not be plagiarized without permission.
Is the defense of a case of crimes abusing public office going through the motions, going to the detention center to meet with them, chatting with the parties, relieving their boredom, conveying the situation at home outside, and then walking around the courtroom, saying: This party takes the initiative to confess, truthfully confesses, actively returns the stolen goods, returns the stolen goods in full, admits guilt and accepts punishment, has a good attitude, cooperates with the investigation, 12345 publishes a defense statement with a routine defense, and then waits for the verdict to be announced. Many family members may end up having the same experience and experience.
A few days ago, a friend called ** to consult me. He is also a family member of a duty-related crime case, a friend of a friend, who has added me to WeChat for a while, and has eaten together before, but then he has not looked for me. This time, she called ** and said to me: Lawyer Liu, I saw your circle of friends sharing the experience of handling cases on a business trip. I think you're very responsible and efficient. I would like to talk to you about my husband's case. She said that my husband's case had actually been transferred to the prosecutor's office for a month. I didn't contact you later, and I didn't ask you because my husband had sent me a letter from the case-handling officer, and he had appointed a lawyer himself. I went to hire this lawyer, this lawyer was not bad at first, I paid him a little upfront lawyer's fee, his attitude was okay, and then he kept urging me to pay the lawyer's fee, I paid all the lawyer's fees in a week, and then the feeling changed completely. He told me before that what to do with this case. How? How to strive for lightening and mitigation? Attitude ok. But now, a month later, and they got the case file, I asked him how the case was now. He said that he hadn't finished reading it yet, and then he started to get impatient, saying that he was busy, in a meeting, and for various reasons, I suspect that he may not even have read the case file. In a month, he went to the detention center to see my husband three times, each time for less than an hour. He didn't analyze the case with me, he said that the case was confidential and he couldn't tell his family. When asked if he had any ideas or plans, he always said that he was still working on them. Later, he said that there was no room for a defense, and he said that he had communicated with the case-handling unit, that is, we should cooperate with the continued return of the stolen goods, return the stolen goods in full, and then admit guilt and accept punishment, so that we can strive for leniency. What kind of case handling process, defense plan, legal counseling, and psychological counseling you mentioned, I don't think he has any specifics, and he has met my husband three times, and I still don't know much about my husband's case.
The family member spoke to me for 20 minutes, and she said that she had consulted me at that time, and she thought that she wanted to invite us, but the main reason was that her husband wrote a letter to appoint this lawyer, saying that someone else introduced him. She asked me if I could add an additional lawyer, if I could go to his case, and asked me how I would charge.
In this case, we often come across, and I can only say that in cases of job-related crimes, the lawyer selected by the client in advance before the accident is often not the most suitable person for him, especially before the accident, the client often consults the lawyer on some legal issues. My experience and suggestion is that when the retention period is about to be transferred to the procuratorate, the family should find more lawyers, compare with each other, and compare them in all aspects, from the degree of professionalism, experience in handling cases, age, whether he is senior, how many cases of job-related crimes he has handled, whether he is mainly specialized in defending job-related crimes, or whether he has done all kinds of criminal cases, even civil and commercial cases, and his ability to control and control the case, and most importantly, his sense of responsibility and professional ethics, and whether he is a parent-child case? Once the case enters the procuratorate court stage, it is not impossible to change the lawyer halfway, but for the parties and their families, it will be exhausting, so the work of selecting and hiring a lawyer in the early stage must be done sufficiently, and you must see and listen to it with your own eyes. As for why, exactly? There are various reasons, so I won't analyze them here. I am lawyer Liu Weiyuan, and I will continue to share with you the prevention and defense of duty-related crimes, and you can send me a private message if you have any questions.
