Can I file a criminal lawsuit myself? Should you hire a criminal defense attorney? What are the benefits of finding a lawyer? The Importance of a Criminal Defense Lawyer!

I don’t know if you often see in the news that although some defendants were prosecuted, they were still acquitted in the end. In these cases, criminal defense lawyers have an important influence on the outcome of the case and try to avoid injustice or miscarriage of justice. Even if a crime is indeed committed in some cases, after the lawyer defends the defendant and puts forward a favorable defense and is adopted by the court, the defendant can still be given a lighter, reduced or even exempted criminal punishment. This reflects the lawyer's defense in criminal proceedings. The importance of the legitimate rights and interests of criminal suspects and defendants.

However, the average person has less access to criminal cases and does not understand the work content and role of lawyers in criminal cases. In particular, some case-handling agencies misguide the parties, causing many people to doubt the work and role of lawyers, causing the parties to mistakenly believe that they understand the law, are eloquent, and can defend themselves without hiring a lawyer. In addition, even if a relative or friend around us is suspected of committing a crime, the first thing they often think of is to find "someone with connections to help." This not only leads to the emergence of many legal scalpers, but also to the situation of being deceived, which is even more serious. The best opportunity to reverse the unfavorable situation was missed.

Based on the current relevant laws and the experience accumulated by our firm over the years, the work content and functions of criminal defense lawyers will be explained one by one below so that you can have the most basic understanding.

1. The work of criminal defense lawyers during the investigation stage

The investigation stage is the beginning of a criminal case and is the basic stage to determine whether the suspect has committed a crime and the seriousness of the crime. At this stage, the main task of the investigation agency is to collect various evidence and materials to prove the establishment of the crime, and may arrange to interrogate criminal suspects, interrogate witnesses, conduct relevant inspections and appraisals, collect documentary evidence and physical evidence, etc. When a client is taken to the police station or district prosecutor's office, his personal freedom is restricted to some extent and he is cut off from the outside world. He was relatively isolated. It is difficult to keep a clear mind when being interrogated by the police or investigative agencies. Once a statement is made that is unfavorable to oneself, it will directly lead to an unfavorable situation in the court trial stage. Secondly, most criminal suspects are not familiar with the law, so they are confused about the nature of their actions, the rights they should have when being interrogated, and how to make statements that are more favorable to themselves without violating objective facts. If a professional criminal lawyer can intervene in time at this time, it will undoubtedly provide immediate help to the criminal suspect. Our professional criminal litigation lawyers are criminal lawyers with a solid theoretical foundation and rich experience in handling cases. When meeting a criminal suspect, the first thing to do is to inform the family members, relieve the anxiety of the criminal suspect and his family members or friends, and give him psychological support. The comfort provided by him gave him a comprehensive and clear understanding of his situation and laid a good foundation for him to receive the next step of professional guidance. Secondly, our professional lawyers will explain to the suspect all laws, regulations, judicial interpretations and other knowledge related to his alleged charges, so that he can become familiar with the relevant laws and current situation. Furthermore, our professional lawyers will question the suspect in detail about the entire process, capture the details of the case based on the lawyer's own professional experience, and quickly find various facts that can prove the suspect's innocence within a limited time, and Conduct in-depth communication with criminal suspects to respond to follow-up interrogations by the public security organs and strive to resolve the crisis as soon as possible.

2. The role of criminal defense lawyers in the investigation stage

After the case investigation comes to an end, the investigating agency will transfer the case to the District Prosecutor's Office for further review. If the criminal facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive, the prosecutor may initiate an indictment. If the facts are unclear and the evidence is insufficient, the prosecutor may continue the investigation. If the relevant evidence is still unable to be found in the end, a non-prosecution decision may be issued. Many parties, and even many inexperienced lawyers, will think that the investigation stage is only evidence investigation, so there is no way to actively do anything. In fact, the police or prosecutors have their duties, and we respect the way they handle cases, but sometimes it is inevitable that they will ignore the investigation of the suspect's innocence and guilt evidence. Since the investigative agencies and defense lawyers have different perspectives, professional defense lawyers can also assist in examining the constituent elements, plots and details of the suspected crime, the authenticity and legality of the evidence, and other professional issues. Our professional lawyers will promptly explain the case to the prosecutor in the form of written pleadings or court opening statements based on the case information, and provide relevant legal opinions to persuade the prosecutor to accept many case details that are beneficial to the suspect, so that the prosecutor handling the case will have a better understanding of the case. Clear impressions to avoid or reduce stereotypes about criminal suspects. Therefore, lawyers have great potential at this stage to avoid unfair, false and wrong cases to the greatest extent, and to lay a solid foundation for suspects and defendants to obtain fair court trial results.

3. The function of criminal defense lawyers in the trial stage

The trial stage is the most critical stage for lawyers to play their defense role. At the same time, it is also a display of all the work results of lawyers in the early investigation stage and review and prosecution stage. First, the lawyer reviewed all the materials in the case file before the trial and conducted in-depth discussions with the defendant on all the details of the trial, including the court proceedings, the key points of the prosecutor's accusations, and the controversial points in the court debate. In fact, the vast majority of defendants do not know how to defend themselves, and when they make inappropriate statements in court, it gives the judge the impression that they are quibbling, and in the end they are severely punished. In cases assisted by our professional lawyers, our defense lawyers will choose the most effective way of expression and the most favorable timing based on all the evidence and objective facts that are favorable to the defendant, and use their skilled legal knowledge, agile logical thinking and rich With their experience in handling cases, they can convey to the judge every plot, evidence and reason that is favorable to the defendant, thereby comprehensively resisting the prosecutor's accusations and fully safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the defendant. As the defendant's defender, the lawyer will always stand firmly on the side of the defendant and faithfully perform his duties as a lawyer.
