According to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, a criminal suspect may hire a lawyer to provide legal advice, appeal and accusation on his behalf after being interrogated for the first time by the investigation organ or from the date when compulsory measures are taken. Therefore, as long as the public security organs try criminal suspects, they can entrust lawyers. If a criminal suspect is detained in criminal detention, the lawyer hired can apply for bail pending trial, and the entrusted lawyer has the right to know the charges charged by the criminal suspect from the investigation organ, meet the criminal suspect in custody and learn the case from the criminal suspect. After the criminal suspect is detained, only lawyers can meet with him to learn about the case and see if he was tortured to extract a confession and whether his basic rights and interests were guaranteed. Lawyers are not monitored when meeting with criminal suspects in custody.
