1. It may cost thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan to hire a lawyer in criminal detention. As a lawyer, due to different living standards, the fees are different. In addition, different lawyers charge different fees in criminal cases.

Article 119
A criminal suspect who does not need to be arrested or detained may be summoned to a designated place in the city or county where the criminal suspect is located or to his residence for interrogation, but the certificates of the people's procuratorate or the public security organ shall be produced. A criminal suspect found at the scene may be summoned orally, but it shall be indicated in the interrogation record.
The duration of summons or summons shall not exceed twelve hours; If the case is particularly serious and complicated and detention or arrest measures are needed, the time limit for summoning or compulsory summoning shall not exceed 24 hours.
The criminal suspect shall not be detained in disguised form by means of continuous summons or compulsory summons. When summoning or detaining a criminal suspect, the suspect shall be guaranteed food and drink and necessary rest time.
2. Close relatives have the right to know. Whether it is a notice of criminal detention by telephone or email, relatives can learn about the alleged charges and the location of the detention center from the case handlers.
If you are under criminal detention or arrested, only a lawyer can see you. According to the existing law, family members or friends can't meet criminal suspects, only when they attend court meetings. During this period, only lawyers are entrusted to enter the detention center to meet with criminal suspects or defendants. Lawyers can enter the detention center to learn the following information: whether relatives and friends were tortured to extract confessions, whether they were bullied or abused by fellow prisoners, to provide them with legal advice and help, to understand the crimes and cases involved, to feed back the concerns and hopes of relatives and friends, and their situation inside, to get bail on their behalf, to appeal or accuse on their behalf, and so on.
Relevant legal provisions: Criminal Procedure Law
Article 39 A defense lawyer may meet and correspond with a criminal suspect or defendant in custody. Other defenders, with the permission of the people's courts and people's procuratorates, may also meet and correspond with criminal suspects and defendants in custody.
If a defense lawyer holds a lawyer's practice certificate, a law firm's certificate, a power of attorney or a letter of legal aid to ask for a meeting with the criminal suspect or defendant in custody, the detention center shall arrange the meeting in time, which shall not exceed 48 hours at the latest.
For specific citizens, if their relatives are found to be detained, they can entrust lawyers to handle criminal detention. If the lawyer accepts the entrustment, there is no doubt that the client needs to pay a certain amount of legal fees. Of course, the specific amount of legal fees can be determined through consultation.
