Legal analysis: criminal suspects have the right to hire one or two defense lawyers. If the case does not involve black and evil, and it is not a major case, there is no need to hire two lawyers. Lawyers can participate in litigation as agents or defenders. Whether it is civil litigation, administrative litigation or criminal litigation, it needs to be carried out in accordance with legal procedures. If the parties themselves don't have certain litigation knowledge, it will delay the litigation opportunity, which is not conducive to litigation. With the help of lawyers, the efficiency of litigation can be greatly improved, the necessary things can be properly arranged first, the evidence materials are complete and the procedures are standardized. The participation of lawyers in these tasks can effectively reduce litigation costs and litigation risks.
Legal basis: Article 32 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). In addition to exercising the right of defense, criminal suspects and defendants may also entrust one or two people 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.
