People who have just been detained should be in the stage of public security investigation. Of course, in the meantime, he has the right to hire a lawyer. But if the client asks for a lawyer, he will tell the investigators. The investigator should inform his family or directly inform the client to name the lawyer he wants to hire.
Because a lawyer is hired, the lawyer can meet the client immediately and learn about the case through the client's own explanation, unless the case is special (such as major, sensitive and political cases), he may not meet. During the meeting, family members can of course tell their lawyers what they have to say.
What family members should do is: first, see if the parties entrust their families to hire lawyers; Second, you can take the notice of detention or arrest to the general department of the detention center to save some money for the detained person, so that he can at least add some vegetables to it. Third, wait until the proceedings are over and see the trial results.
