Many people are very concerned about the lawyer's fees when they encounter criminal cases. This understanding is because the lawyer's fee in criminal cases is higher than that in other ordinary cases, even much higher.
Two days ago, at the relatives' home in our hometown, everyone was talking about a topic enthusiastically:
A relative's friend went to work in other places, and as a result, he had an accident with someone and beat others to the hospital. It is said that the other party has also undergone surgery and needs to be hospitalized for about a week before he can be discharged. The family over there asked relatives and friends to pay a large sum of compensation, and even all the expenses in the later period needed to be borne by themselves. But my friend is an ordinary working-class family, and his salary level is also average. Where can he afford it and want to hire a lawyer? Seeing that the lawyer's fee is tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, he is very helpless.
So, is it worthwhile to spend100000 on a criminal case?
There is room for each case, and there are different places to do it, but lawyers are often useful.
If the family is really in difficulty, you can actually apply for free legal aid, or you can find a legal aid lawyer online. If you can find the best. But don't be afraid, if you can't afford a lawyer in a case, the state will also appoint a free criminal defense lawyer for you to fully protect your criminal litigation rights.
Everyone should understand that when it comes to legal fees, don't absolutely look at how much money is. There are high and low fees, and there must be good and bad, because every lawyer will learn from the foundation of 0 and accumulate all his experience in handling cases from 0.
How many cases a person has committed and how many things he has done, you have to pay the corresponding lawyer's fees. A legally prescribed punishment for a crime should be adapted to the crime and punishment. If you commit any crime, you have to bear the corresponding multiple consequences. This is stipulated in the criminal law. Lawyers can't change that. They can only say that writing opinions will affect the decision of the case-handling organ.
What lawyers and criminal defense lawyers can do is to dig up the details of your crime as much as possible, carefully and responsibly find out some facts that can reduce the punishment or change the charges for the suspect, try to find favorable conditions for the suspect as much as possible, and help the suspect to relatively reduce the punishment he does not deserve. This is called objectivity, this is called seeking truth from facts, not evading legal sanctions.
We should know that in the process of interrogation and investigation by the case-handling organ, the criminal suspect said something he shouldn't have said, did something he shouldn't have done and used an attitude he shouldn't have used, which will bear some additional consequences (this is not an alarmist retaliation, and the criminal suspect's confession attitude is also a consideration in determining punishment).
Many people will say when they see this, and the lawyer just said a few words. Is it really that valuable? Lawyers write so little, just a few pages. Is it really that valuable? The lawyer just went to a place and made some phone calls. Is it really that valuable?
I am so puzzled because I don't know the legal profession.
First of all, from the cost point of view, sometimes criminal suspects or their families may think that criminal defense lawyers just said a few words and wrote a few sheets of paper. Why is it worth so much money?
In fact, this is the same as eating out. The cost of food and materials in front of you may be only a few dollars or even a few cents, but what about store decoration, raising chefs and waiters, water and electricity costs and other things? How about air conditioning, robots or waiter service in the hotel? Even the internet? What about the most basic hotel rent? What is invisible is also the cost.
Many people think that it seems easy for criminal defense lawyers to say a few words and write so many pages, and even think that lawyers don't have to work hard, but it is not that simple to understand that lawyers are lawyers and know how to say those words correctly and write those pages correctly to produce corresponding effects.
After all, law is not an assembly line, let alone a daily conversation. Law, as a professional knowledge, can be transformed and measured by money in criminal defense lawyers' years of study, judicial examination, legal practice, interpersonal relationship maintenance and experience accumulation.
It is not easy for lawyers to become famous, grow up and accumulate their own experience.
I quite agree with this passage on the Internet: As a criminal defense lawyer, my suggestion is that ordinary people should live a good life and stand on their own feet, but at the moment you commit a crime, you are not an ordinary person, but a criminal suspect, the infringer of social legal interests and the object of social contempt.
If a criminal defense lawyer can dig up some facts, help you fight for your due rights, reduce some penalties, eat less jail time for two years, and exchange money for some punishment consequences, isn't it worth it?
It's nothing. Why commit a crime? No crime is the cheapest.
So whether it is worthwhile to spend 65,438+10,000 to hire a lawyer depends on what you think. Wouldn't it be more valuable to let your final sentence stay for a few years less, or not to go in at all, but to be honest and law-abiding outside for a few years instead of your actual punishment, or to let the house you mortgaged win over yourself?
If you don't hire a lawyer, many things can't be assumed, but if you hire a lawyer, you will definitely help you, and the lawyer will defend you one-on-one in all aspects. Every place and every family is different. Please don't hire a lawyer. Whether the lawyer's fee of 65,438+10,000 yuan is expensive or not needs to be considered in combination with personal circumstances.
