I. What should criminal lawyers pay attention to?
1. Try to go to the law firm. Only when you get to the law firm can you know the authenticity of this law firm and avoid being cheated.
2. Try to verify the lawyer's practice license, the lawyer pays and clearly understands the consumption.
3. Need to sign a contract with a law firm. Only when there is a contract can there be a basis and service be guaranteed.
4, should pay fees to the law firm, put an end to the lawyer outside the firm "only charge, not work" phenomenon.
5. Believe in facts and laws, and never believe in the promise of "winning by hook or by crook". Lawyer service is embodied in the process of pursuing fairness, and all the promises of "winning the case" may be fraud.
6. Find out the complaint channels. If you find that you don't have a practice license, you should report fraud cases to the public security organs. If it is found that the fees are not publicized, the tickets are not issued, and the duties are not performed, it shall complain to the Lawyers Association or the Judicial Bureau, and have the right to know the investigation results.
Second, do criminal cases require lawyers?
Asking a lawyer to defend is the only way to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of criminal suspects and defendants. This is necessary. Of course, the premise is if there are economic conditions. But the facts are clear and uncontroversial, and lawyers are not required. However, it is also necessary to consult a lawyer in advance.
In criminal cases, the duty of a lawyer as a defender is to provide materials and opinions on whether a criminal suspect or defendant is innocent, light or relieved of criminal responsibility according to facts and laws, and to safeguard the litigation rights and other legitimate rights and interests of the criminal suspect or defendant. A criminal suspect has the right to entrust a defender from the day when he is interrogated for the first time by the investigation organ or compulsory measures are taken, but whether to entrust him or not shall be decided according to the wishes of the criminal suspect.
