Workers’ injury compensation was 18,000, and the lawyer got 900,000! What is the final result of the official notification?

Recently, the Guangzhou Municipal Justice Bureau reported that lawyers were suspected of illegal fees. The results of the report showed that after investigation by the Guangzhou Municipal Justice Bureau, it was confirmed that Ruifeng Law Firm and client Yang had agreed on a risk agency for work-related injury compensation. The risk agency agreement stated that the agency fee was 50% of work-related injury compensation. This behavior violated the Lawyers Law of the People's Republic of China, but the statute of limitations for Yang's complaint had expired. Leguang Ruifeng Law Firm can no longer impose penalties in accordance with relevant laws and regulations of my country. The Guangzhou Municipal Justice Bureau has required Leguang Ruifeng Law Firm to make rectifications in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and has required the Guangzhou Lawyers Association to deal with it seriously in accordance with industry norms.

On the evening of July 12, 2016, Yang was injured by the wire rope of the crane during the unloading process and became paralyzed due to cervical spinal cord injury. After the accident, Yang's two brothers approached Ruifeng Law Firm and entrusted it with work-related injury compensation. At that time, the agreement between the Yang brothers and Ruifeng Law Firm stipulated that the compensation would be more than 900,000 yuan. Yang only received 900,000 yuan, and the rest belonged to Ruifeng Law Firm.

In September 2020, the employer paid a one-time compensation of 6.5438+8 million yuan. According to the agreement between the two parties, Leguang Ruifeng Law Firm took away 900,000 yuan. Because an agreement had been reached before, Brother Yang had no objection to this. However, Yang's ex-wife felt that the fees of Ruifeng Law Firm were too high, so she finally took the form of asking the media for help and announced the matter to the public. The subsequent results are well known.

In fact, the risk agency used by Ruifeng Law Firm at that time was risky, because the Yang family could not afford the agency fee, so it was a helpless move, and the cost of the entire process of the law firm was relatively high, but Because such huge profits are not allowed in the industry, there is no problem with the way the Guangzhou Justice Bureau handles it.
