generally speaking, it is also useful to get a lawyer if you are detained in criminal detention. However, it depends on the personal situation and the circumstances of the case to make your own choice. If the economy allows and the case is complicated, it is best to ask a lawyer, but if the economy does not allow and the case is not complicated, you don't have to ask.
1. Is it useless to hire a lawyer in criminal detention? 1. It is still useful to hire a lawyer in criminal detention. The use of lawyers is as follows: (1) For criminal suspects during criminal detention, only lawyers can meet the suspects, but family members cannot visit them. In order to strive for the greatest rights and interests, it is necessary to ask lawyers to intervene to understand the case. (2) An entrusted lawyer can provide legal advice and act as an agent for complaints and accusations. According to the law, a lawyer can provide legal advice for a criminal suspect when he is interrogated for the first time or meets with him after compulsory measures are taken. Due to the special identity and position of criminal suspects and the lack of legal knowledge, criminal suspects often dare not boldly safeguard their legitimate rights and interests because they don't know the law. Therefore, when the suspect is arrested, his family should immediately hire a lawyer for him. With the timely consultation of the lawyer, the suspect will have a clear mind. (3) Lawyers can apply for bail pending trial on their behalf, and apply for cancellation or change of compulsory measures on their behalf. After the criminal suspect is arrested, in order to solve the case quickly, the interrogators may not always strictly follow the law during the interrogation process, which may damage the legitimate rights and interests of the criminal suspect and even seriously infringe on the personal rights of the criminal suspect. 2. In the whole process of criminal investigation and trial, a lawyer can be hired to provide legal assistance to the criminal suspect after he is interrogated for the first time or after compulsory measures are taken. In practice, it is also very time-sensitive to ask a lawyer for criminal cases. Criminal suspects and their families should try their best to ask a lawyer for assistance according to their own specific conditions. The reason is that after the lawyer's intervention, he can more fully understand the case, collect evidence favorable to the suspect, and have enough time to study the provisions of the law, so that he can be fully prepared for the trial. If a lawyer is hired at the trial, it is inevitable that the lawyer will be pressed for time, which may affect his role.
second, what is the longest period of criminal detention? According to the law, the longest period of criminal detention is 37 days. If the public security organ fails to ask the procuratorate to arrest the detained person within 37 days, it must release the detained person or change the compulsory measures of residential surveillance or bail pending trial. If the procuratorate approves the arrest within 37 days, the suspect will be extended to the court for trial, and finally convicted and sentenced by the court.
3. Can family members see the detained person during the criminal detention? Family members can't see their family members during the period from the date of the detained person's criminal detention to the court's judgment. According to the law, during this period, only lawyers entrusted by family members (immediate family members) can meet. If family members want to know the details of their loved ones' alleged crimes and their living conditions in the detention center in time, entrusting lawyers can solve the above questions, and entrusting lawyers as early as possible can effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of their loved ones. The final results of many cases we have represented have proved this.
iv. What is bail pending trial? What are the conditions for applying for bail pending trial? Bail pending trial is also called bail, which is also a compulsory measure. However, compared with criminal detention, it has less restriction on the personal freedom of suspects and does not need to be held in detention centers. Lawyers and relatives can apply for bail pending trial for criminal suspects. The object of application of bail pending trial is the criminal suspect who may be sentenced to a short term of imprisonment, and the decision-making organ may be the court, procuratorate and public security organ. Once released on bail pending trial, the applicant should provide money guarantee or guarantor guarantee. To sum up, it is also useful to hire a lawyer if you are detained in criminal detention, because lawyers know more about the law than we do, and they can also help us understand the case well. In the early stage of detention, family members can't meet, only lawyers can see, but whether to hire a lawyer depends on everyone's economic situation and the complexity of the case.
