Why is the fee high for taking on criminal cases, because criminal lawyers are lonely.
In criminal cases, defense lawyers are confronted with the powerful public power of the public prosecutor's and judicial organs. Let's say a group of people are going to beat you up or put you to death, and then the criminal lawyer stands up and stands in front of you to support you.
There are several reasons why criminal lawyers charge high fees:
1.Returns to the study of criminal law and related knowledge. Criminal cases involve major issues of life and property, and criminal lawyers must have solid legal knowledge and excellent defense skills, and the fees are relatively high.
2.Debriefing on the value of defence work. Criminal lawyers**Criminal cases have to meet with the parties many times, apply for bail pending trial, go to the procuratorate to read the case file, prepare for the trial and other laborious things, and even require the lawyer himself to investigate and collect evidence.
3.Criminal lawyers have a high level of practice risk. The defense of criminal cases often has a significant impact on the lives and property of the parties, and even the suspects will be outlaws, so in order to protect the interests of lawyers, law firms will adopt higher fees.
Zhang Mingyu, a criminal defense lawyer in Changsha, Hunan Province, said that the higher fees are due to a combination of factors. When choosing a criminal lawyer, clients can choose according to their needs and financial means.
