She was released on bail of 700,000 yuan and restricted from leaving the country. There are more and more lawyers like her. The legal community has revealed that lawyers&#039; salaries are not as good as before, and they have to rely on themselves to find cases. It is no wonder that lawyers continue to fall and join fraud groups!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Li Yusheng, a lawyer at Fidelity Law Office, said that a lawyer&#039;s duty is to provide legal assistance to clients who do not understand the legal procedures so that the client can get a fair trial. However, lawyers&#039; defense needs to abide by legal and moral boundaries. If a lawyer instigates a client to conceal facts, forge evidence or destroy evidence, or even provides the interrogation content to other accomplices to collude or give false testimony, it constitutes a crime and exceeds the boundaries of lawyers&#039; defense. If a lawyer provides the interrogation content to other accomplices or related persons, it will be involved in the crime of leaking secrets under the criminal law and will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than one year, detention or a fine of not more than 9,000 yuan.<\/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<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-confidentiality-obligation-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>With no cases and unstable income, it&#039;s hard to survive.
