Is it useful to hire a lawyer for gambling?

Legal analysis: Of course. It is an important way for lawyers to exercise their right of defense to protect your legitimate rights and interests. Lawyers can put forward opinions according to the case and evidence of the procuratorate, including what kind of charges and sentencing range the procuratorate will sue you, or collect evidence and consult the file to clear your suspicion. When you are extorted by torture, lawyers can collect evidence and submit it to the court procuratorate, so that illegal evidence cannot be used as evidence for conviction and sentencing. In short, individuals are vulnerable groups in the face of public power. Hiring a lawyer can at least let you know the law and avoid the infringement of public power on your legitimate rights and interests.
