Why is it recommended that you hire a professional criminal lawyer?

A criminal case involves human life and freedom. Once family members are involved, the case will undoubtedly become the "focus" of the family and seriously affect the normal life of the family. In the eyes of ordinary people who know nothing about criminal justice practice, lawyers seem to be their life-saving agents. straw. However, in the judicial practice of our country, criminal suspects and defendants are often subject to compulsory measures such as criminal detention, which are deprived of their personal liberty, so the responsibility of entrusting lawyers for criminal suspects and defendants falls to their families. body. The key question is, how can family members find the right lawyer?

 

 1. Lawyers are also divided into professional fields. For criminal cases, professional criminal lawyers should be found.

The image of a lawyer in the eyes of ordinary people is a mobile legal encyclopedia. As long as it is related to the law, lawyers should understand it, but in fact this is a misunderstanding of the legal profession.

A profession that is more similar to a lawyer is a doctor. When we go to the hospital for registration, we will choose to seek medical treatment from doctors in ENT, anorectal, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular departments or other departments according to our disease. This is because we know that most doctors are only good at dealing with a certain field. disease.

Lawyers, like doctors, also have specific areas of expertise. To know that there are millions of laws and regulations in China, it is impossible for any legal person to be proficient in all fields of law. Some lawyers specialize in maritime and maritime law, some specialize in construction and real estate law, some specialize in labor disputes, and some specialize in criminal defense. Obviously, when the family is involved in a criminal case, from the perspective of protecting the rights and interests of the family to the greatest extent, one should choose a professional lawyer who specializes in criminal defense, rather than entrusting the family's life and wealth to a maritime lawyer. If the lawyer you choose is not professional enough, and sometimes it will bring negative effects to the client, it is better not to hire a lawyer.

Of course, some people will say that they know some lawyers who can engage in all aspects of business, but think about it from another angle. A person's energy is limited. If you want to become a professional elite lawyer in multiple legal fields at the same time, your energy cannot be allocated. In the end, it is difficult to achieve perfection in any aspect. This is just like some "general practitioners" we often see. These doctors are "skilled but not good" in all aspects, and can never act as the main surgeon for major operations, but can only deal with common minor diseases such as colds.

 

2. the so-called "fishing people", is it reliable?

In real life, the first question many people face after their relatives are criminally detained is whether to hire a lawyer or find a relationship to "fish" the person out. Most people may want to find a lawyer to solve the problem through normal judicial procedures. However, the first reaction of some people is to find a relationship to "find people". Even if they are looking for a lawyer, they often hope that the lawyer can "bludge" with the judiciary to "find people".

At present, my country has gradually moved towards a society ruled by law. A criminal case is a very serious matter for everyone. The process of a criminal case is the division of labor between the public security, procuratorate and law. First, the public security investigation is carried out. After the investigation is completed, the prosecution is sent to the procuratorate, and then the court is tried. The three companies cooperate with each other and supervise each other, and it is impossible for anyone to do anything in any link without leaving traces. That is to say, the probability of being discovered in a criminal case is extremely high, and the risk is extremely high, so unless the person you are looking for is powerful enough to take all the public prosecutors and laws in one place, no one dares to treat themselves like this. Fold in. Even if there is some relationship within the Public Security, Procuratorate and Law, when he is found, what he usually does is a favor. That is to say, he can know the trend of the case a few days earlier than the client or even the lawyer through his internal personal relationship, but it is impossible to have a substantial impact on the outcome of the case. .

Often the so-called related people who claim to be able to "catch" people out may only be familiar with the host police officer. When they are eating or chatting together, they will be released on bail three days after they find out about the case. . In fact, after two or three days, those who should be released on bail will be released on bail, and those who should be arrested will also be arrested. In real life, however, the family "worked very hard" to find relationships and "fish people", but there were too many cases of being defrauded of a lot of money. The wife of Li Dingrong, the former deputy director of the Shajing Street Office in Bao'an District, was defrauded of 7.5 million yuan, and the son of Zhou Weisi, a village cadre in Nanlian Community, Shenzhen, was defrauded of 27 million yuan, and so on. Therefore, when encountering a relative being detained, you must not expect the so-called related person to "fish out" the person. Not only will you be defrauded of money, but the best time to save the person will be delayed.

There is a sequence of hearings, and there are specialties in the art industry. Professional things should be done by professional people. For example, if we are sick, will we go to acquaintances and friends to solve it? Guaranteed to go to a doctor to see a doctor, so what should I do if I encounter a lawsuit? Of course it should be a lawyer.

 

3. How can I find a criminal lawyer?

Due to the problems of life circles, ordinary people often do not know much about the legal profession and have little contact with lawyers. People generally think that acquaintances are more reliable than strangers, so once a criminal case is involved, they often find "acquaintance" lawyers by mobilizing their friends.

In fact, this method of finding a lawyer is not appropriate. As stated above, in order to get the best possible outcome of a case, you need to find a professional lawyer who matches you. However, the chances of finding a lawyer among friends around you, and then the lawyer should be a professional criminal lawyer, are extremely low.

For example, when a company is suspected of a unit crime, a lawyer who serves as the company's legal counsel has a better understanding of the company's business operations, and is often asked to act as a defense lawyer. However, the vast majority of legal counsel lawyers are good at contract business and company operation management legal risk control, otherwise they will not become the company's legal counsel, but let lawyers who are good at contract business serve as corporate crime defense lawyers, It is tantamount to having a doctor who is good at liver transplantation perform brain tumor removal.

In today's Internet age, it is not difficult to find a professional criminal lawyer. The reason why a professional criminal lawyer is professional is because he has been engaged in a specialized legal field during his practice, and these practice experiences have brought him a case by case and a document showing his legal wisdom. Family members can see various "barristers" with various titles on the Internet, but if there are no corresponding case results and legal documents behind these titles, they are just empty titles boasting.

Therefore, when a family member is involved in a criminal case, the family member should use a pair of eyes to filter the information on the Internet and find a professional criminal lawyer with many successful defense cases and excellent legal documents.

 

4. Carefully find a "relationship" lawyer

China is a society of acquaintances. Under such an atmosphere, many people often do not take the road to solve problems, but hope to solve their problems and problems by asking friends and finding relationships. In the legal industry, there are also many so-called "relationship lawyers". However, for many criminal cases, "relationship lawyers" not only cannot guarantee the interests of criminal suspects and defendants, but may even have extremely adverse effects on the progress of the case. In a criminal case, when the criminal suspect is arrested, if the case is finally acquitted, the relevant investigators will be held accountable for the wrong case. In other words, if a case is arrested, if a "relationship lawyer" is still sought, and the lawyer has such a close relationship with the relevant department personnel, the relationship between the lawyer and the relevant personnel and the interests of the criminal suspect and defendant will be the same. It is self-evident how the "relationship lawyer" will choose when confrontation arises.

However, in the general concept of Chinese people, "finding relationships" to settle things is often the first and fastest way, and this kind of thinking just ignores the institutional problems in criminal justice practice, and few people are willing to give up their future for the sake of relationships. Therefore, in the case of pursuing innocence, the procuratorate that has made the decision to approve the arrest cannot accept the result of innocence, and the procuratorate has assumed the responsibility of anti-bribery. In fact, looking for a relationship is to give someone a handle. At this time, bribing the judge will actually lead to In the middle of the prosecution's arms, let the prosecution catch the family's "handle" and drag the family into another criminal case. Moreover, most people will think that if the party is innocent, it is impossible to offer bribes to get away. The act of bribery itself shows that the parties themselves are not clean, and later judges will never dare to judge the parties lightly, otherwise they will take bribes again. suspicion, which has a very negative impact on the defense of the parties' case. The family of the client must be clear that the solid backing of the criminal defense work is the professionalism and due diligence of the lawyer. The most fundamental thing is that the lawyer uses the facts, evidence and the law to persuade the judge. I believe that the “relationship” lawyer will often prevent the client from obtaining professional defense. On the contrary, the family members who have been injured will be further worsened by "seeking relationships", ranging from bankruptcy to imprisonment in severe cases.

 

All in all, when family members want to find a suitable lawyer for their family members who are involved in criminal cases and achieve the best defense effect, they must remember three points: looking for "unfamiliar lawyers" on the Internet, looking for "professional lawyers", and carefully looking for "relationships lawyer".
