1, lawyers can meet suspects, non-lawyers can't be in the investigation stage of criminal cases, and only lawyers can meet the parties. If you don't hire a lawyer, your family members can't meet with the parties during the investigation stage, which is not conducive to understanding the case. In the case of inviting a lawyer, meeting with a lawyer can also calm the suspect's emotions, and can also express his family's concern and support for the incident, so that the suspect can cope with the subsequent procedures in a better mental state;
2, more conducive to a comprehensive understanding of the facts of the case, lawyers can understand the facts of the case, can formulate defense strategies in advance, and fully communicate with criminal suspects on the facts, so that the defense work can be carried out as soon as possible.
Compared with not asking a lawyer, asking a lawyer is more conducive to the criminal suspect and his family to know the truth of the case;
3. Lawyers can explain the charges involved for criminal suspects, and ask lawyers to explain the prosecution standards and sentencing provisions of a crime for criminal suspects, so that they can know what charges will be constituted under what circumstances, so that criminal suspects can have a clearer understanding of their actions and make positive preparations for later court defense;
If you don't hire a lawyer, it is likely that the criminal suspect will have a little knowledge of the charges he is suspected of, which is not conducive to safeguarding his legitimate rights and interests.
4. Lawyers can represent complaints or accusations. Criminal suspects know very little about relevant laws and regulations, so it is difficult to tell whether the actions of staff such as investigation organs and detention centers infringe on their legitimate rights and interests or extort confessions by torture. At this time, lawyers are needed to explain and analyze, representing complaints or accusations against illegal acts.
If you don't hire a lawyer, the suspect may not know how to defend his rights when his legitimate rights and interests are violated.

Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China
Article 42 A voluntary defender or other person of a defender shall not help a criminal suspect or defendant to conceal, destroy or forge evidence or collude with others, and shall not threaten or induce witnesses to commit perjury or engage in other acts that hinder judicial proceedings. Anyone who violates the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall be investigated for legal responsibility according to law. If a defender is suspected of committing a crime, it shall be handled by an investigation organ other than the investigation organ where the defender undertakes the case. If the defender is a lawyer, he shall promptly notify the law firm where he belongs or the lawyers association to which he belongs.
