"Lawyer Fang, how many years do you think my sentence will be if my case is found to be a crime of illegal disposal of seized property?" Liu Qiaoling asked with a frown.

"It's hard to say. I think the best result is that you are sentenced to probation and do not have to serve time in prison. Of course, whether your behavior will ultimately be deemed by the court as illegal disposal of seized property depends on the case file before making the final decision.

Judgment." Fang Yi said.

Fang Yi did not dare to make casual judgments before reviewing the files. If what the parties said was inconsistent with the situation reflected in the case files, and the outcome of the case did not meet expectations, not only would his brand be ruined, but he might also be subject to complaints and demands.

Refunding fees, working for nothing and getting scolded is not what Fang Yi pursues.

"Well, I understand. If I entrust you, will you appear in court or another lawyer? How will the lawyer's fees be charged?" Liu Qiaoling asked.

"I will handle your case..." Fang Yi said halfway when he felt Xie Youhe's foot lightly kicking him under the table.

"Ms. Liu, Lawyer Fang is our senior lawyer. He is good at criminal cases and has rich trial experience. If he handles your case, the legal fee will be 50,000 yuan. Please consider it. If you agree, you can sign the contract today." Xie Youhe

He took Fang Yi's words and said.

"Fifty thousand yuan!" Liu Qiaoling bit her lip and looked a little embarrassed, but when she thought about going to jail, she said, "Well, please let me think about it and I will reply to you in the next two days."

"Okay, if you decide, give us a call and we will prepare all the documents that need to be signed." Xie Youhe said with a smile.

After seeing off Liu Qiaoling, on the way back to her work station, Fang Yi asked in a low voice: "Did our quotation just now be too high? I think what she meant was that it seemed quite difficult."

Xie Youhe glanced at Fang Yi: "You are still too kind. We have no background and no connections. We all rely on professionalism to make a living. If love is too much, it will be easy to work hard and end up with no food. Let's go, smoke one.

go!"

After Fang Yi put the notebook back at his workstation, he followed Xie Youhe to the terrace. On the terrace, there were many lawyers smoking and chatting in twos and threes.

Coming to a corner, Xie Youhe took out a Coke can from behind a flower pot and placed it on the balcony fence.

Seeing Fang Yi staring at the Coke can, Xie Youhe smiled and said: "This is my special ashtray. In the past, many lawyers liked to flick ash into flower pots. Later, the law firm issued regulations that prohibited this from happening again. Who would do it?"

Who should be punished? There are not enough ashtrays, so we experienced smokers can only bring our own ashtrays."

Fang Yi smiled knowingly, then took out a cigarette and handed it to Xie Youhe. Comrade Xie is good at this. He can smoke whatever cigarette you give him, he doesn't have to choose! Anyway, as long as he doesn't smoke his own.

Fang Yi was not very addicted to cigarettes before. He could not smoke more than a few cigarettes a day and would only smoke when he stayed up late to read the case files. However, after joining Gu Datong's team and working with Xie Youhe, an old smoker, his addiction to cigarettes has slowed down.

As I got older, I smoked basically half a pack of cigarettes a day.

Hua Zi only smokes when he goes to the terrace with Xie Youhe. He usually smokes red plums at home.

Some people say, "Huazi means face, and red plums means lizi." This makes sense. When he was a graduate student, he had no money in his pocket, so he relied on smoking red plums to survive the days of burning the midnight oil and studying hard. Now he is a lawyer.

Although he is not as poor as before, he doesn't want to forget those days of poverty, so he often takes out red plums to smell them and smoke one to motivate himself to work hard to make money and find his old self and his old life.

It can be regarded as "suffering from hardship"!

Soon, two wisps of smoke slowly rose up, and a gust of hot wind blew by, driving the slowly rising smoke away.

Xie Youhe flicked the ashes against the Coke can and looked into the distance with misty eyes: "When I first started practicing law, I met a client who ran a business. He often came to me to review contracts or write lawsuits, and he paid a fee each time.

Sometimes he would cry about poverty, saying that the business was difficult to run and the cost was high. In short, he just didn't want to spend more money.

I saw that he was very pitiful, and I gave him a discount every time, charging him a hundred and fifty, and giving him free if I could. Until one day, I suddenly saw on his button that he was carrying it on an airplane.

There are photos of the family traveling abroad, and it happened just a month ago. I couldn’t explain how I felt at the time.

Later, he came to me to review the contract, but I didn't give him a discount. He looked unhappy, and he never came to see me again from then on.

Later I figured it out. Our legal services come with a cost. Take schooling as an example. You have studied hard in school for many years. If you don’t pay tuition and accommodation fees, will the school continue to teach you knowledge and issue you a certificate? I’m afraid.

I have ordered you to drop out of school a long time ago, because compulsory education only lasts nine years, and knowledge must be paid for!

For another example, when we practice law, the law firm rents a house and hires people without any cost. The lawyer's food, clothing, housing and transportation are also costs.

The bank is richer than us, right? It’s a big financier. Which of the services it provides is free? It costs dozens of yuan a year to get a text message notification. The communication company is rich. Why don’t you try it without paying?

No service will be given to you.

They can shamelessly use a lot of resources to provide paid services without discounts. Why should we lawyers provide free or cheap services!

Of course, I don’t recommend that you be so shady as some lawyers, but at least you can’t lose yourself. So you must not have the idea of ​​​​pitying the world. Everything should be determined by the market.”

Fang Yi didn't speak, just nodded constantly. He understood the truth, but he couldn't help but think about the discount slip.

"Law firms may be big or small, lawyers may be strong or weak, and some may have extensive resources or may have poor resources. Naturally, fees may vary. If someone eats meat, someone must drink soup. If you don't even have a mouthful of soup,

If you stay, you will be doing a great job.

The parties need to be screened. Not all legal needs can be met by us, and not all parties can afford the fees. Only those parties who can afford the fees are our real target customers.

The name of Jinshi Law Firm is still very loud and well-known in the city, not only because of the strong ability of the lawyers and the professional support given by the head office in Beijing, but more importantly, the publicity. In such a large firm with a good reputation

, many of the parties approached have certain financial strength.

If your fees are based on the standard of a small law firm, you will end up wasting all your energy on low-charge cases. Not only will your professional capabilities not be improved, but you will also not have the energy to take on big cases.

This is like fishing for fish, our mesh needs to be larger, and some small fish and shrimps that are too cheap will leak out." Xie Youhe said with a smile.

Xie Youhe's words finally made Fang Yi find the problem. After staying at Zhengyi Law Firm for a long time, and suddenly switching to a large platform, his subconscious still had the same theory of accepting cases from small law firms. It seemed that he needed to adjust.

Got off.
