If you are not a family member of the suspect, can you entrust a lawyer to visit the suspect?
Non-family members of the criminal suspect may not entrust a lawyer to visit the criminal suspect. Only the criminal suspect himself or his close relatives can hire a lawyer. Lawyers provide legal assistance to criminal suspects, including meeting them in detention centers instead of visiting them. It should be close relatives: parents, spouses, children, brothers and sisters. After accepting the entrustment, lawyers exercise not the right to visit, but the right to provide legal aid or investigation. In addition, under normal circumstances, non-immediate family members are not allowed to make such entrustment. A criminal suspect, also known as a suspect, a suspect or a suspect, refers to the title of a person who was criminally prosecuted for a suspected crime before the procuratorial organ formally filed a public prosecution with the court. A criminal suspect is different from a criminal. According to the principle of presumption of innocence, criminal suspects are innocent unless they are proved guilty through trial.
