Can a victim of a criminal case ask a lawyer from other provinces to defend him?

1. If you are the victim of a criminal case, you should entrust a lawyer to represent you instead of defending you. Only criminal suspects or defendants in criminal cases need to entrust lawyers to defend you.

2. According to the provisions of the Lawyers Law and the Criminal Procedure Law, there are no geographical restrictions on lawyers' practice. The parties to a criminal case can entrust a local lawyer to represent or defend, or choose a lawyer from other provinces to represent or defend, which is up to the parties themselves, and there is no legal restriction.
