It must be useful to hire a criminal defense lawyer. Criminal cases are divided into three stages: public security investigation stage, procuratorate examination and prosecution stage and court trial stage. As long as the parties are suspected of any crime, as long as they are not convicted by the court, they cannot be called criminals and have no criminal record. Therefore, the best time to invite lawyers to intervene is the public security investigation stage, because at this stage, the public security organs are not allowed to let family members or relatives visit, and only lawyers can see the parties.
Moreover, the earlier a criminal case is entrusted to a lawyer, the better the final handling of the case will be. It is best to entrust a lawyer to intervene at the investigation stage or when a person is taken into compulsory measures (detention). With the lawyer's intervention, we can know the case earlier, because his confession has not yet taken shape, and the lawyer can remind him what to say and tell him what is bad for him. Furthermore, the intervention of lawyers can effectively avoid the occurrence of extorting confessions by torture. Without the intervention of lawyers, most of them will be punished in the investigation and detention stage. If you have a lawyer, you can tell him that the lawyer can appeal and sue him.
In the process of criminal defense, lawyers play a very important role, can identify the criminal facts of the parties according to law, and play a role in communication and coordination with the judicial organs. In addition, lawyers have a comprehensive application and understanding of the law, and can also give certain legal guidance to the parties when identifying related issues, which is of positive significance to the later investigation and evidence collection and judicial judgment.
The purpose of setting up the role of "lawyer" in China's criminal legal rules is to add the lawyer's code between the state and the criminal suspect on such an unbalanced scale of "strong VS weak". The value of lawyers lies in preventing powerful police, prosecutors and courts from making mistakes of "too strong to be fair" and "too strong to be redeemed". Therefore, in handling criminal cases, lawyers are not "aiding and abetting", let alone "aiding and abetting". The lawyer is to ensure that the guilty get a fair trial, and the innocent are not subject to criminal investigation, so as to realize justice and justice.
