1, collect relevant evidence of litigation claims, and apply to the court for investigation if necessary;
2. If you are not familiar with laws and regulations, you can entrust a lawyer as an agent to represent the case.
If the criminal case has been transferred by the investigation organ to the people's procuratorate for examination and prosecution, and the family members have not hired a lawyer for the criminal suspect, they should hire a defense lawyer as soon as possible. Because after the case enters this stage, the defense lawyer can already consult the file of the investigation organ, so the lawyer should intervene as soon as possible, be familiar with the case and carry out the defense work better. In criminal cases, the national criminal judicial organs usually take the initiative to intervene. After the victim or the masses report the case, the public security and procuratorial organs will intervene in the investigation. Then the people's procuratorate prosecuted the defendant on behalf of the state, and the court, as a judge of the law, conducted a fair trial to achieve the criminal law purpose of punishing criminals and protecting the people.
Article 33 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) * * * A criminal suspect or defendant may entrust one or two persons as defenders in addition to exercising the right of defense by himself. The following persons may be entrusted as defenders:
(1) lawyers;
(2) A person recommended by a people's organization or the unit to which the criminal suspect or defendant belongs;
(3) Guardians, relatives and friends of criminal suspects and defendants.
A person who has been sentenced to punishment according to law or deprived of or restricted personal freedom shall not act as a defender.
A person who has been dismissed from public office or has his lawyer's or notary's practice certificate revoked may not act as a defender, except the guardian or near relative of the criminal suspect or defendant.
Article 34 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 compulsory measures are taken. During the investigation, only lawyers can be entrusted as defenders. The defendant has the right to entrust a defender at any time.
When interrogating a criminal suspect for the first time or taking compulsory measures against him, the investigation organ shall inform him that he has the right to entrust a defender. The people's procuratorate shall, within three days from the date of receiving the case materials transferred for examination and prosecution, inform the criminal suspect that he has the right to entrust a defender. The people's court shall, within three days from the date of accepting the case, inform the defendant of the right to entrust a defender. If a criminal suspect or defendant requests to entrust a defender while in custody, the people's court, the people's procuratorate and the public security organ shall promptly convey it.
If a criminal suspect or defendant is in custody, his guardian or near relative may also entrust a defender.
After accepting the entrustment of a criminal suspect or defendant, the defender shall promptly inform the case-handling organ.
