How long does it usually take to hire a lawyer to close the case?

Legal analysis: after receiving the report, the public security department believes that it is suspected of committing a crime after preliminary investigation, and needs to file a case, carry out investigation, collect evidence and arrest the suspect. During the period, compulsory measures against criminal suspects need to be approved by the procuratorate. After the public security investigation, the case needs to be transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution. At this time, you can ask a lawyer to intervene, understand the case and prepare a defense. After preliminary examination, the procuratorate believes that it constitutes a crime and brings a lawsuit to the court. The court will hold a hearing after filing the case. Generally speaking, it takes three months for the public security to handle a case, two months for the procuratorate to review and prosecute, and three months for the court to hear a case.

If there are special circumstances that need to be extended, it can be extended for six months with the approval of the president of our hospital; If an extension is needed, it shall be reported to the people's court at a higher level for approval.
