There is a criminal case to be litigated, and people in the public security department say it is not easy to ask a local lawyer to defend it. Can you hire a foreign lawyer?

There is no such thing. There are also many criminal lawyers with high professional level in small places. Moreover, if it is a criminal defense, it is convenient to entrust a local lawyer, which is conducive to timely face-to-face communication with lawyers. In addition, it is convenient for lawyers to meet in the detention center and communicate with the case-handling unit in time. Local lawyers are also familiar with the local case-handling procedures.

However, some people think that the overall professional level of lawyers in some big cities is relatively high, and individual lawyers have participated in many major cases. Moreover, the lawyer industry in big cities is highly competitive, and there will be more frontier academic exchanges.

Any industry is mixed with good and bad, and the practice place of lawyers should not be the primary factor in hiring entrusted lawyers. The first choice for hiring a lawyer should be professional level. You can search for the lawyer's past cases in the online judgment documents to see if you have handled similar cases in your case. In addition, you can consult more lawyers, and you can also see the level of lawyers from their speeches and views on the case.
