[2] For a client, no matter is trivial. Since practicing law, he has adhered to integrity, justice, and professionalism to earn clients' trust. To achieve the most urgent, reasonable, and lawful demands of his clients, he thinks what they think and worries about what they worry about. He is the senior lawyer of Guangdong Zhiming Law Firm—Lawyer Li Zhiyong!
 

[3] Recently, Lawyer Li Zhiyong successfully exempted a client from over 90,000 yuan in litigation costs in a medical damage liability dispute case involving a subject matter of over ten million yuan! This is one of many cases where Lawyer Li Zhiyong has secured substantial litigation cost exemptions for his clients.

Attorney Li Zhiyong:

Holding a Bachelor of Laws from Peking University, with nearly two decades of practice, he adheres to the principles of professionalism, integrity, service, efficiency, and dedication, focusing on administrative litigation, criminal defense, civil litigation, and other legal matters. With a rigorous work style, meticulous thinking, calm demeanor in court, and a wealth of practical experience and skilled courtroom techniques, he has successfully safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of numerous clients. Attorney Li Zhiyong is deeply trusted and respected by his clients, often protecting the rights of vulnerable groups during case handling, and striving for legal rights and interests for each client, allowing them to truly feel the warmth of Guangdong Zhiming Law Firm's services.

This is a case of medical damage liability dispute involving a hospital. The client, Huang Moufen, is an elderly rural woman with no source of income, who suffered a medical accident. Attorney Li Zhiyong proposed a compensation claim exceeding ten million yuan for her. In China, plaintiffs filing lawsuits must prepay case acceptance fees, which are not low. The higher the claim amount, the more the prepaid case acceptance fee, and the lawyer cannot guarantee that all claims will be fully supported by the People's Court.

If this case were charged at the standard litigation fee rate, it would amount to over 90,000 yuan, which is absolutely unaffordable for the client!

So, would the client give up fighting for her rights?

That is impossible.

So Lawyer Li tried every possible way to secure litigation cost savings for the client. Because China's Civil Procedure Law and the State Council's Measures on Litigation Fees both have provisions for reducing or exempting litigation fees. By making good use of these provisions, it is possible to both propose the largest possible litigation claim for the client and save litigation costs while reducing litigation risks. Moreover, according to the regulations, this client was entitled to a litigation fee exemption.

Lawyer Li Zhiyong asked the client's family to obtain an honest economic status certificate from the relevant authorities and helped the client draft an application for exemption from litigation fees, which was submitted together to the People's Court. Because the evidence was sufficient and the request was lawful, both the court of first instance and the court of second instance agreed to exempt the client from litigation fees. This saved the client around 170,000 to 180,000 yuan in litigation costs and potentially secured the maximum benefit!

This was certainly not the first time Lawyer Li Zhiyong went all out to save costs and fight for the rights of clients, especially those from disadvantaged groups. Previously, whenever possible, Lawyer Li Zhiyong made such efforts. For example, in a personal injury case in Zhejiang, Lawyer Li Zhiyong filed a claim of over 15 million yuan on behalf of the client and successfully secured a full exemption from litigation fees for both trials.

Striving to win the maximum rights for clients while minimizing their litigation costs, Lawyer Li Zhiyong, who calls himself a responsible lawyer, has been consistently making such efforts. Through his own actions, Lawyer Li Zhiyong has shown the fairness and justice of the law to clients from disadvantaged groups!
