From the date when the investigative agency first interrogates or takes compulsory measures, a criminal suspect has the right to entrust a defender; during the investigation, he can only entrust a lawyer as a defender. The defendant has the right to retain a defender at any time. During the defense process, defense lawyers can provide legal assistance to criminal suspects; represent them in appeals and accusations; apply for changes in compulsory measures; learn about the suspect's alleged crimes and cases from the investigative agencies and provide opinions. Defense lawyers can meet and communicate with criminal suspects and defendants in custody. After criminal detention, the detention center will usually notify family members to send necessary clothing; during the period of detention, the detainee's living expenses will be borne by the finance department. However, in order to improve the situation of detainees with low food standards due to insufficient financial investment, family members usually spend part of their money to improve the food of detainees. It is very important to hire a professional lawyer to intervene as soon as possible. During the investigation phase, apart from the investigators, only lawyers can see the suspect.
