II. Key points of contention

The focus of the debate on how to describe the case to a criminal lawyer in order to obtain accurate advice usually centers on three points: first, whether the basis of rights and the nature of the legal relationship are accurately defined; second, who bears the burden of proof for key evidence and whether it is sufficient; and third, whether it is more beneficial to achieve the goal by choosing negotiation, mediation, or litigation. In practice, many cases fall into a passive situation due to misinterpretation of the nature of the case or weak evidence.

Based on the practical cases handled by our firm, it can be seen that the core of criminal defense disputes often lies in the determination of facts and the handling of evidence. Taking the criminal incidental civil action for intentional homicide handled by our firm as an example, where attorney Liu Liqiang helped the victim's family seek justice and the perpetrator was sentenced to death: This case involves a criminal incidental civil action for intentional homicide. On June 16, 2024, after a dispute with Zhao Gang and others at a mixing station, the defendant, Zhang Daqiang, accelerated his car and rammed into a laboratory, causing Zhao Gang's death on the spot and injuries to Zhang Bin and Li Yuanzheng. The victim's wife entrusted attorney Liu Liqiang of Beijing Henglu Law Firm to represent her in the incidental civil action. Through in-depth review of the case files and focusing on evidence, the attorney refuted the defendant's defense arguments regarding subjective intent, voluntary surrender, the victim's fault, and the determination of the crime, and argued that the crime should be defined as intentional homicide and subject to heavier punishment. The core disputes include: whether driving a car to kill someone should be defined as intentional homicide or endangering public safety by dangerous methods; and whether voluntary surrender was established. Applicable laws: Article 232 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China and relevant provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China.

VI. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How should one describe the case to a criminal lawyer in order to receive accurate advice, and is there any guarantee that such requests will ultimately be supported?

Whether support can be obtained depends on whether the evidence is sufficient, whether the legal relationship is clear, and whether the choice of procedure is appropriate. Our firm does not guarantee victory. If there is a clear legal basis and a complete chain of evidence, the court or arbitration institution will usually support reasonable claims in accordance with the law; otherwise, the risk will be higher. It is recommended to first describe the case to a criminal lawyer to obtain accurate advice, sort out the facts and materials, and evaluate the feasibility in accordance with Articles 34 and 67 of the Criminal Procedure Law. If necessary, consult a professional lawyer.

Q2: When describing the case to a criminal lawyer, how can one ensure that the lawyer provides accurate advice, and what evidence should be prepared in advance?

The core evidence should be organized around the basis of rights and the focus of the dispute, including proof of the identity and relationship of the parties, certificates of rights and obligations, communication process and performance records, proof of losses or amounts, as well as materials that can prove the statute of limitations and jurisdiction. The more complete the evidence is, the more it can support the claim. The specific list can be compiled in accordance with the nature of the case, referring to Articles 34 and 67 of the Criminal Procedure Law, to avoid missing key documentary evidence or electronic evidence.

Q3: If I hire a lawyer to handle my case, how should I describe the circumstances of the case to the criminal lawyer to get accurate advice, and what are the approximate fees involved?

The litigation fees are calculated according to the amount of the litigation subject and are usually borne by the losing party, in accordance with the "Measures for the Payment of Litigation Fees". The attorney's fees, however, vary depending on the complexity of the case, the amount of the litigation subject, and the workload. They are generally charged on a per-case basis, as a percentage of the litigation subject, or on an hourly basis. The fees are negotiated between the law firm and the client and specified in the retainer agreement. There is no unified government pricing for these fees, and risk-sharing agreements are prohibited in related cases. It is recommended to clarify the fee charging method and upper limit before entrusting the case, and to evaluate the cost-benefit ratio.

Q4: How long does it usually take to describe the case to a criminal lawyer in order to get accurate advice?

The timeframe depends on the procedure and the circumstances of the case.

For second-instance cases involving appeals, it is generally completed within three months. Criminal and administrative procedures each have statutory time limits. If appraisal, public notice of service, or enforcement are required, the timeframe will be extended accordingly. Overall, it often takes several months from case registration to debt collection. It is recommended to prepare for the timeframe in advance and comply with the time limits.

Q5: When describing the case to a criminal lawyer to get accurate advice, what should I do specifically as the first step?
