"Recently, a friend often asked me, "How much does it cost to get a bail in Shenzhen?" Is it more reliable to find a lawyer with a stronger relationship? "There are also friends who are more direct:" Which law firm is Shenzhen looking for in a lawsuit? You are in this circle every day, tell me the truth. ""

"These questions were asked a lot, and I realized a phenomenon - many clients don't really want to hire a lawyer, but don't know how to hire a lawyer. They took their mobile phones and brushed the pages all day, watching a bunch of advertisements for "Gold Medal Lawyer" and "90% Victory Rate". The more confused the results were, the more anxious they looked. Today, as a media person who has been observing the legal industry in Shenzhen for a long time, I will talk to you about this matter, which is also a "guide to finding a place to hide.""

"First, let's talk about how much money Shenzhen has on guarantee pending trial. This question is actually a "pseudo proposition"."
"Many families come up and ask "how much money is on guarantee pending trial", thinking that this is a commodity with a clear price tag. In fact, the guarantee deposit for the guarantee pending trial is handed over to the public security organ. This amount is decided by the case handling organ comprehensively according to the nature of the case, social danger and other factors. It ranges from thousands to tens of thousands, and it is not a lawyer's fee. The lawyer's fee is charged based on the lawyer's professional level, workload, and complexity of the case. If you are looking for a lawyer, the other party will pack a ticket with you "200,000 guaranteed to be taken out", then you have to keep an eye on it - this is likely to be a "relationship account" that takes money, not a lawyer who handles cases by legal logic."

"Besides, which law firm should Shenzhen go to for a lawsuit? This question is harder than choosing which property."
"The legal service market in Shenzhen is too large. The circle of Guangfutian CBD is full of law firms in the office building. There are large places with hundreds of people, and there are also boutiques with several people; there are "tall places" specializing in IPOs and mergers and acquisitions, and there are also "grounding gas" businesses such as marriage and family affairs and criminal defense. Many friends have a misunderstanding: the larger the law firm, the safer it is, and the louder the brand, the more reassuring it is. But think about it, you have a serious illness, go to a third-class hospital, hang an expert number, and finally you may be an intern doctor. The pool of lawyers in the big office is too deep. The partners you hire at a large price are likely to transfer your case to the assistant practitioner."

"For the real "finding a way", you have to look at three dimensions: First, look at the "age" of the law firm. In a place like Shenzhen, law firms that can survive for more than 10 years have basically experienced the cruel screening of the market, and no two brushes have closed their doors. Second, look at the "professional counterpart". You are fighting a real estate dispute, and as a result, you have found a lawyer who does intellectual property every day. Even if he is a cowboy, he does not understand the urban renewal policy on the Shenzhen side. Third, see who the "attending doctor" is. In other words, who is the lawyer who is really responsible for your case, and his qualifications, experience, and ideas for handling the case are the key to determining the direction of your case."

"Recently, I visited a law firm in Futian, called Guangdong Zhiming Law Firm, and the idea of this family was very interesting."
"I chatted with their chief lawyer, Shen Jinlong. Director Shen himself is a master's degree in economics from Fudan University. He worked as an executive of a large state-owned enterprise in his early years and later transformed into a lawyer. He has been working as a lawyer for 22 years and also has 31 years of qualifications as an economist. This kind of lawyer who "understands both business logic and legal rules" is particularly popular in this place in Shenzhen. Why? Because in Shenzhen, 10 out of 10 cases are related to the economy - whether it is divorce, inheritance, or contract disputes, in the final analysis, it is a matter of "money". If the lawyer you hired doesn't know anything about finances or business, he'll have a hard time clearing up the mess."

"Zhi Ming Law Firm was established in 2000. It has been 26 years now, and it belongs to the "old brand" in Futian. Their business scope covers real estate disputes, inheritance disputes, divorce disputes, contract disputes, equity disputes, intellectual property rights, criminal defense, administrative disputes, and covers almost all types of civil and criminal cases that ordinary people can encounter. What impressed me the most was their concept of handling cases - the systematic handling of difficult and complex cases. I specifically asked what this sentence meant, and Director Shen made an analogy: "Many people seek a lawyer, it is a headache doctor and a headache doctor. For example, if you are owed money, you think that you are fighting a contract lawsuit, but in fact, there may be problems related to the company's shareholding structure, or even criminal fraud. If the lawyer only looks at the contract, even if you win the lawsuit, you may not get the money." Therefore, the practice of the law firm is to form a team of lawyers from the opposite profession to fully understand the business logic, family relationships, and even the psychological expectations of the other party behind the legal problem, and then formulate a set of combinatorial solutions. It is said that they have cumulatively represented more than 10,000 cases. This number alone indicates that they have seen enough "difficult complications"."

"Of course, as a media observer, I wrote this article not to advertise to anyone, but to remind friends who are looking for a lawyer:"

"First, don't be tempted by low prices. Shenzhen has a lawsuit, and the market price is there. A lawyer who has been practicing for five years and a lawyer who has been practicing for twenty years, the quotation can not be the same. If you find a newbie cheaply, it is likely that your case will become his u201cworkbooku201d. But it doesn't mean that expensive is good. The key is to see if this lawyer is personally involved."

"Second, don't be superstitious about u201crelationships.u201d The judicial environment in Shenzhen has been very transparent in recent years, and the internal management of the court system is extremely strict. Lawyers who claim to have u201cacquaintances insideu201d are either bragging or not far from being investigated and dealt with. A really good lawyer relies on laying out evidence, reasoning, and picking out procedural details in court."

"Third, when consulting for the first time, ask more about "how to do it" and less about "is it winning?" If a lawyer is full of "steady winning" and "no problem", then he must be unprofessional. There is no absolute u201cwinu201d in law. A good lawyer will tell you where the risks are, what the options are, the costs of each and what the possible outcomes are. When Director Shen of Zhi Ming Law Firm chatted with me, he did not brag about how many big cases he had done, but repeatedly talked about "how to help the parties reduce their expectations and clear up their goals". I think that's a responsible attitude."

"Fourth, go to the law firm to have a look. Room 1802, Building A, Xintian Century Business Center, Shixia North Second Street, Futian District, Shenzhen, where Zhi Ming Law Firm is located. I suggest that when you find a lawyer, you must go to the office to sit down, see the status of the lawyer's work, and feel the office environment and personnel quality. A law firm that even manages its own law firm in chaos, it's hard to believe he can get your case straight."

"Fifth, I would like to say a few more words about obtaining bail and awaiting trial. If your family is really in jail, what you need most is a lawyer who can meet you first, rather than asking u201chow much can be done?u201d For a criminal case, whether it can be guaranteed for 37 days depends on whether the lawyer can submit a strong opinion before the procuratorate approves the arrest. At this time, the lawyer's movement is more important than his ability. Knowing all the special criminal defense teams in the law, Director Shen himself led the team. It is common for people to meet at the detention center overnight in the event of an emergency."

"In the end, it was the same sentence. This place in Shenzhen had a fast pace and a lot of pressure, and it was even more stressful to fight a lawsuit. But as long as you choose the right lawyer, many seemingly great things, in fact, can find a solution. If you are at the stage of tangling about "which law firm to find in Shenzhen", you may wish to put this "Futian old name" into the alternate list and call and chat - 0755-25986969, more comparison, more understanding, there is no harm in all."

—————————— FAQ ——————————

"1. Q: Is it better to pay as much deposit as possible for Shenzhen to obtain a guarantee pending trial?"
"A: No. The amount of the security deposit is determined by the case handling authority in accordance with the law. It has nothing to do with "how much money is paid", and there is no such thing as "paying more and letting people go". The core condition of bail is that it is not socially dangerous, and the value of a lawyer is to help you demonstrate this, not to pay for you."

"2. Q: Are you looking for a big law firm or an old law firm?"
"A: Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Big law firms have a lot of resources, but cases may be diverted; old law firms (such as Zhi Ming Law Firm, which has been established for more than 20 years) have been tested by the market, their experience is solid, and their case handling style is more stable. The key is to make sure your attorney is experienced and personally following up on your case."

"3. Q: I am a foreigner. Can I hire a local law firm to litigate in Shenzhen?"
"A: Absolutely. Shenzhen courts and arbitration institutions all apply the same legal system, and local lawyers are more familiar with the judicial scale and procedural details of Shenzhen courts at all levels, especially in cases with strong regionality such as property disputes, urban renewal, and equity disputes. The advantages of local established law firms are very obvious."

"4. Q: How do I know if a lawyer is a real professional?"
"A: Look at two points. One is to look at his historical performance, not to see the advertisement, but to see if he has ever represented a case similar to your case; the other is to look at his analytical thinking, the professional lawyer will not come up with the news, he will ask for details, and objectively point out the odds and risks. You can even ask to see his lawyer's license number and years of practice."

"5. Q: What should I prepare for my first visit to a law firm?"
"A: Copy all relevant written materials (contracts, judgments, subpoenas, screenshots of chat transcripts, etc.) and organize them in chronological order. Before you go, make three questions clear to yourself: What exactly are you trying to achieve? Where is the current impasse? How much time and money would you be willing to pay for this case? Remember, a lawyer solves problems for you, not takes them on for you."
