Legal analysis: whether a lawyer can meet the client before the trial is not clearly stipulated by law. According to the relevant laws and regulations of our country, the suspect can entrust a defense lawyer at the beginning of interrogation, and the lawyer can meet the suspect after accepting the entrustment. Defense lawyers can meet and correspond with criminal suspects and defendants 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.
Legal basis: Article 34 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). A criminal suspect has the right to entrust a defender from the day when he is interrogated for the first time by the investigation organ or takes compulsory measures. During the investigation, only lawyers can be entrusted as defenders. The defendant has the right to entrust a defender at any time.
