1. Is there a time limit for receiving a lawyer's reply?
The law does not stipulate the time to reply to the lawyer's letter, but whether to reply after receiving the lawyer's letter is up to the parties themselves.
People's Republic of China (PRC) Lawyers Law
Article 28 A lawyer may engage in the following businesses:
(a) to accept the entrustment of natural persons, legal persons or other organizations as legal advisers;
(two) to accept the entrustment of the parties in civil cases and administrative cases, to act as agents and to participate in litigation;
(3) Accepting the entrustment of criminal suspects and defendants in criminal cases or legal aid agencies to act as defenders according to law, accepting the entrustment of private prosecutors in private prosecution cases, victims in public prosecution cases or their close relatives to participate in litigation as agents;
(four) to accept the entrustment and represent the complaints of various litigation cases;
(five) to accept the entrustment and participate in mediation and arbitration activities;
(6) Accepting entrustment to provide non-litigation legal services;
(seven) to answer questions about the law and write litigation documents and other documents related to legal affairs.
Second, is the lawyer's letter serious?
A lawyer's letter is not an indictment or a judgment, and there will be no consequences. The lawyer's letter is the legal evaluation and other information sent by the other party before the formal prosecution. The recipient will not be prosecuted for completing the legal responsibilities as required, but will be prosecuted for failing to complete or refusing to complete the legal responsibilities as required.
The lawyer's letter itself will not have legal consequences, just a warning. Lawyer's letter is generally regarded as a threat of litigation, which may be that the parties put pressure on the other party in order to gain the advantage of negotiation and urge the other party to make peace actively; It is also possible that the parties lose confidence in conflict resolution and issue a lawsuit warning. Of course, it may also include the purpose of the parties or lawyers spying on each other and tempting information.
The lawyer's letter only represents the statement function, not the court's approval. If the client and lawyer use their powers to forge or forge a lawyer's letter to the victim, it is illegal and criminal. When the victim is intimidated, threatened, lost, etc. He should call the police and hold the parties and lawyers accountable.
A letter from a lawyer can clarify the facts and stop illegal infringement. Lawyer's letter has the function of clarifying facts and deterring illegal acts, which is beyond the reach of ordinary business letters and folk letters.
From the above analysis, we know that according to the provisions of the Lawyers Law, a lawyer's letter is a document issued by a lawyer entrusted by his client and has no legal effect. Therefore, after receiving the lawyer's letter, it is not stipulated whether or not to reply and when to reply.
