1. If the case itself is not complicated, even if all cases plead guilty, please hire a local lawyer, which is convenient for meeting and saves money.
2. If the case is complicated, especially if the defendant does not plead guilty or there is a major dispute over the nature and circumstances of the case, it is recommended to hire a foreign lawyer. Because this kind of cases often involve pointing out the problems existing in the process of handling cases by public security and procuratorial organs, and may even overturn the identification of the nature and circumstances of the case by public security and procuratorial organs in the previous stage. If it is finally acquitted by the court, it may also be investigated for the responsibility of the public security and procuratorial organs for subsequent handling cases. Local lawyers, who work and live in the local area all the year round, are certainly not as serious and reckless as foreign lawyers on this issue for practical reasons.
3. If you don't know whether the case itself is simple or complicated, you can find a local lawyer to intervene in the early stage. If the local lawyer gets a complicated case after the meeting, he can invite another foreign lawyer, and the local lawyer and the foreign lawyer will unite to give full play to their respective specialties and handle the case well.
