Will not hiring a lawyer in criminal cases aggravate the crime?

Legal analysis: no lawyer in criminal cases. If criminal suspects and defendants are very familiar with the law and can defend themselves well, the consequences may not be very serious, and the same is true of criminal fighting public prosecution cases.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Lawyers Law.

Article 31 When acting as a defender, a lawyer shall, according to facts and laws, put forward materials and opinions on acquittal, lighter punishment or reduction or exemption of criminal responsibility of criminal suspects and defendants, so as to protect the litigation rights and other legitimate rights and interests of criminal suspects and defendants.

Article 32 A client may refuse his entrusted lawyer to continue to defend or represent him, and at the same time, he may entrust another lawyer to act as a defender or agent.
