If you want to consult a lawyer in criminal cases, do you have to have two lawyers? A man who can't see the prisoner?

Not necessarily. If it is a criminal case, the law stipulates that the suspect can generally hire a lawyer and can entrust at most two lawyers to appear in court, not necessarily two lawyers. There is no law that only one lawyer can see the suspect.

Article 32 of the Criminal Procedure Law: In addition to exercising the right of defense, a criminal suspect or defendant may entrust one or two persons as defenders. The following persons may be entrusted as defenders:

(1) lawyers;

(2) A person recommended by a people's organization or the unit to which the criminal suspect or defendant belongs;

(3) Guardians, relatives and friends of criminal suspects and defendants.

A person who has been sentenced to punishment according to law or deprived of or restricted personal freedom shall not act as a defender.
