In addition, if he is finally found guilty, not only will he not be able to get a reduced sentence, but he may also be considered to have a bad attitude after committing the crime and be given a heavier sentence within the statutory sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Fuda Law Firm<br>Line\uff1a<a href=\"https:\/\/line.me\/ti\/p\/@fdlaw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/line.me\/ti\/p\/@fdlaw<\/a><br>Tel:<a href=\"tel:0277093611\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">0277093611<\/a><br>Facebook:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fudalawyer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fudalawyer<\/a><br>website:<a href=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/<\/a><br>e-mail:<a href=\"mailto:info@fdlaw.com.tw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">info@fdlaw.com.tw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group fdlaw-faq-block is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should you do first when you encounter a legal problem?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is recommended to first save documents, conversations, financial records, photos or notices, and organize a timeline of events, and then have a lawyer assess feasible solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What documents should I prepare before seeking legal advice?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can prepare contracts, court or police documents, communication records, payment information, photos, and information about the other party so that the lawyer can quickly grasp the key points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should you see a lawyer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If litigation, criminal liability, large sums of money, corporate liability, family assets, or time constraints are involved, it is advisable to consult a lawyer as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<script id=\"fdlaw-generated-faq-schema-state-witness-2-20260706\" type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"\u9047\u5230\u6cd5\u5f8b\u554f\u984c\u61c9\u8a72\u5148\u505a\u4ec0\u9ebc\uff1f\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"\u5efa\u8b70\u5148\u4fdd\u5b58\u6587\u4ef6\u3001\u5c0d\u8a71\u3001\u91d1\u6d41\u3001\u7167\u7247\u6216\u901a\u77e5\u66f8\uff0c\u4e26\u6574\u7406\u4e8b\u4ef6\u6642\u9593\u8ef8\uff0c\u518d\u7531\u5f8b\u5e2b\u8a55\u4f30\u53ef\u884c\u65b9\u6848\u3002\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"\u6cd5\u5f8b\u8aee\u8a62\u524d\u8981\u6e96\u5099\u54ea\u4e9b\u8cc7\u6599\uff1f\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"\u53ef\u6e96\u5099\u5951\u7d04\u3001\u6cd5\u9662\u6216\u6aa2\u8b66\u6587\u4ef6\u3001\u901a\u8a0a\u7d00\u9304\u3001\u4ed8\u6b3e\u8cc7\u6599\u3001\u7167\u7247\u53ca\u5c0d\u65b9\u8cc7\u6599\uff0c\u8b93\u5f8b\u5e2b\u80fd\u5feb\u901f\u638c\u63e1\u91cd\u9ede\u3002\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"\u4ec0\u9ebc\u6642\u5019\u9700\u8981\u627e\u5f8b\u5e2b\uff1f\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"\u82e5\u6d89\u53ca\u8a34\u8a1f\u3001\u5211\u8cac\u3001\u9ad8\u984d\u91d1\u9322\u3001\u516c\u53f8\u8cac\u4efb\u3001\u5bb6\u5ead\u8ca1\u7522\u6216\u671f\u9650\u58d3\u529b\uff0c\u5efa\u8b70\u53ca\u65e9\u8aee\u8a62\u5f8b\u5e2b\u3002\"}}]}<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did Shao Xiupei retract her confession in an effort to prove her innocence?
