According to the law, risk agency is prohibited in criminal cases, and only fees can be charged first. Criminal cases are generally prosecuted in three stages, namely, investigation stage, examination and prosecution stage and first instance stage. Family members of criminal suspects can negotiate with law firms to pay all the agency fees in one lump sum, or they can pay the agency fees in installments. Regarding this charging standard, different regions have different standards, and criminal cases are generally charged in stages. But in short, it does not represent risk. It is a serious violation of laws and regulations for lawyers to represent criminal cases and realize risk agency.
