1. Did the criminal lawyer receive the defense fee?
Criminal lawyers will of course defend themselves when they receive money. In principle, as long as it has been entrusted, the relevant fees should be paid. According to the Measures for the Administration of Lawyers' Service Fees
Article 9 stipulates that the fees for lawyer services subject to market-regulated prices shall be determined by the law firm through consultation with the clients.
The following main factors shall be considered when a law firm negotiates the fees for lawyer services with its clients:
Working hours spent;
(two) the difficulty of legal affairs;
(3) the client's affordability;
(4) Risks and responsibilities that lawyers may bear;
(5) The lawyer's social reputation and working level.
Second, when is it better to hire a lawyer in criminal cases?
The investigation stage is the beginning of the case. To put it bluntly, at this stage, the suspect has been arrested, his personal freedom has been restricted, and he may have been put into a detention center.
(1) Investigation stage:
1, providing legal inquiry for criminal suspects.
1, providing legal inquiry for criminal suspects.
3. Apply for bail pending trial
4, on behalf of the complaint
(2) Review and prosecution stage:
At this time, with the participation of lawyers, lawyers will discuss with the procuratorial organs from the opposite angle, at least not exactly the same angle, which will be conducive to the procuratorial organs' comprehensive, comprehensive and fair review of cases, thus avoiding or reducing the preconceptions of the reconnaissance organs on the reported cases. We can't just focus on the evidence and circumstances that are not conducive to the criminal suspect. At the same time, it will also focus on the evidence and plot that are beneficial to the suspect.
.
(3) Trial stage:
At this time, the public prosecutor prosecuted the defendant on behalf of the state and will request the court to investigate the criminal responsibility of the defendant according to the facts, evidence and law. Lawyers will argue that the defendant is innocent and the lightest according to the facts and evidence law, and ask the court to fully consider their opinions. Lawyers will rely on their skilled legal knowledge, eloquence and quick thinking to capture every plot that is beneficial to the defendant. And submit it to the court in time. At this time, the defendant will play a very lonely and passive role in court without a lawyer's defense.
To sum up, criminal lawyers will carefully consider the interest relationship before accepting the case, and must be responsible for defense duties after signing the contract. At the same time, they will pay the corresponding fees as the material cost of the service, but in essence, they will not pay money to maintain the cooperation between the two parties, but ensure the legal effect of the entrustment contract.
