Excuse me, if the case has been sent to the procuratorate, can the parties ask to see a lawyer?

According to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, the procedures for handling criminal cases are divided into filing, investigation, public prosecution and trial stages. Public security organs are responsible for filing and investigating general criminal cases; At the same time, the law stipulates that procuratorial organs can also directly accept cases filed for investigation according to law. Whether it is a case investigated by a public security organ or a case investigated by a procuratorial organ, if there is enough evidence to prove that the suspect is guilty after investigation, it shall write a prosecution opinion according to law and transfer it to the people's procuratorate at the same level for examination and decision whether to prosecute. At this time, the case enters the stage of examination and prosecution, and the department in charge of examination and prosecution of the case by the procuratorial organ is responsible for this work, that is, most people say that the case goes to the procuratorate. At this time, if the criminal suspect or his relatives hire a lawyer to defend him, or appoint a lawyer to defend him according to law, the parties (criminal suspect and defendant) may request to meet with a lawyer.

The specific legal basis is as follows:
