Chapter 33: He Paid a Painful Price for His Actions!
Inside Baijun law Firm.
Wang Li and Zhang Tongwei sat on a sofa.
Su Bai sat opposite them.
There were only two sofas in the law firm, and Li Xuezhen was not particular about such matters and moved a small stool to sit behind Su Bai on his right.
"Lawyer Su, now that this trial has been won, I heard that Xie Jing's lawyer Ye Fei said in court that she would file for a second instance trial."
"In the event that there is a second instance."
Zhang Tongwei hesitated and did not finish his sentence.
Wang Li spoke directly in continuation: "In the event that there is a second instance? There is no such possibility!"
"Even if there truly is a second instance, we will again engage Lawyer Su and completely defeat them, if the second instance is insufficient, then we will defeat them again at the final instance!"
"What are you hesitating about, could it be that you are afraid Lawyer Su cannot win the case?"
Zhang Tongwei was clearly concerned about the issue of attorney's fees arising from a second instance or final instance proceeding.
Su Bai took a sip of tea: "There is no need to worry about the matter of a second instance trial, the probability that the opposing party can succeed in a second instance is not high and they can only submit the second instance on the basis of contesting the fraud conviction."
"It will not affect your divorce judgment or the judgment concerning the division of property."
"Furthermore."
"Even if an appeal is filed that includes this aspect, if you casually engage any criminal or public prosecution lawyer, they will basically be able to prevail, and in view of the judgment result of the first instance, the attorney's fees will not be very high, so you need not worry about this matter."
After hearing Su Bai's explanation, the burden in Zhang Tongwei's heart was finally relieved.
"Thank you, Lawyer Su."
"Lawyer Su, regarding the related attorney's fees, I currently do not have sufficient cash flow and will need a few days, after a few days when I finish handling the matters concerning my house, I will be able to provide them."
"I may need to delay for a period of time."
When Zhang Tongwei said this, he felt somewhat uneasy.
Su Bai curled the corner of his mouth slightly, he was concerned that delaying the attorney's fees would cause Su Bai to trouble him.
"There is no need for you to provide the attorney's fees to me immediately, when you have the funds later, transfer them directly into the law firm's account and do not forget."
"Alright, Lawyer Su."
Zhang Tongwei let out a long breath of relief.
Wang Li and Zhang Tongwei did not remain at the law firm for long, and after generally understanding some subsequent matters, they left the firm.
They also agreed that after the written judgment was mailed to the law firm, when Zhang Tongwei came to collect it, he would transfer the attorney's fees into the firm's account.
"Lawyer Su, both cases handled by our firm have now been completed, and there are temporarily no new cases to accept, should we continue advertising and accept several new cases?"
With regard to enthusiasm for litigation.
Li Xuezhen was far more passionate than Su Bai, and when litigation was mentioned her eyes shone brightly.
Immediately after one case ended, she could hardly wait to accept another.
Su Bai rubbed his brow and did not know where Li Xuezhen's enthusiasm for litigation originated.
The energy of young people was indeed remarkable.
"Very well, continue advertising."
At present the law firm had only accepted two cases.
The first case had considerable influence on the internet, but unfortunately it had little practical effect.
The second case had been introduced by Wang Li and concerned marital fraud.
It had just been won.
However, after some time passed following the announcement of the judgment result of this marital fraud case, it would likely attract the attention of the legal profession.
After all, Ye Fei was a lawyer from Nanyuan Law Firm.
Her reputation was not insignificant.
Within the field of marital litigation she had her own standing.
This defeat and her imprisonment by Su Bai would at least cause the name of Baijun law Firm to reach the ears of many people in the Nandu legal profession.
As Su Bai had anticipated.
On the first day after the conclusion of the first instance trial.
Ye Fei contacted her criminal lawyer friend at Nanyuan Law Firm.
When Jiang Min, a criminal lawyer at Nanyuan Law Firm, learned that Ye Fei had been sentenced to one year of fixed term imprisonment, his first reaction was shock.
You went to handle a marital case and were sentenced to one year of fixed term imprisonment, was this not absurd?!
However, after Jiang Min learned the entire course of events, his expression gradually became calm:
"Ye Fei, I advise you not to initiate a second instance appeal."
"Why? There is clearly still an opportunity in the second instance! I handled a marital case and was sentenced to one year of fixed term imprisonment, is this reasonable?!"
"It is not reasonable, but your conduct indeed approached the boundary of illegality and criminality, and although the first instance judgment was somewhat severe, if you continue to appeal for a second instance, your sentence is very likely to be increased."
"What the Presiding Judge in the first instance considered was individual incitement, but in the second instance if there are new witnesses or other individuals who bring lawsuits, you are very likely to be judged as having engaged in group incitement."
"Although you are a specialist lawyer in marital matters, you have also passed the judicial examination, and you understand the distinction between individual and group conduct."
Ye Fei's expression lost its previous composure and she began to feel somewhat panicked: "Are you certain?"
"Is there truly no possibility at all of prevailing in the second instance?"
Jiang Min let out a long sigh: "That Xie Jing's case has likely already been adjudicated and there is almost no possibility of prevailing."
Ye Fei's face immediately turned pale.
Jiang Min was a professional criminal lawyer at Nanyuan Law Firm and had handled hundreds of criminal cases of various sizes.
She knew that Jiang Min would not deceive her, and if he said that the risk of a second instance appeal was high, then there was a ninety percent probability of risk, and she did not dare to gamble on the result of a second instance appeal.
Ye Fei closed her eyes.
She recalled the series of illegal and criminal acts she had committed at the beginning.
Up to the present.
She had ultimately paid a painful price for her illegal conduct.
Within the Nandu legal profession.
Lawyers at various law firms all maintained contact with one another.
Even if they did not deliberately seek to learn about Ye Fei's situation, it could not prevent the matter from spreading by word of mouth.
Especially an incident such as a lawyer being sent to prison, which was explosive news within the legal profession.
That evening.
News that Ye Fei had been sentenced for suspected illegal conduct spread throughout the Nandu legal profession.
"Have you heard? Have you heard? A lawyer from Nanyuan Law Firm who specialized in marital matters and had experience winning more than one hundred marital cases has been sent in!"
"Really? That cannot be true, how could someone be sent in for handling a marital case, your information seems somewhat unreliable!"
"If I deceive you then I am a dog! This news has already spread throughout various law firms, that marital case lawyer was quite well known and was called Ye Fei!"
"I have an impression now! She was sent in?! I remember that she always operated at the boundary of illegality and guided her followers, she was indeed skilled in marital litigation, which formidable person sent her in within the field of marital relations?"
"Truly formidable! Which law firm was it?!"
"I heard it was a personal law firm called Baijun law Firm, with only one formal lawyer."
"This law firm seems familiar, oh right, was not the previous Nandu Bank case also handled by this law firm?"
"Now that you mention it, I do indeed recall it!"
On the following day, Baijun law Firm became well known within the Nandu legal profession.
Many law firms became interested in Su Bai as a lawyer.
Some who had contact information made tentative inquiries as to whether he would be willing to join their firms.
Su Bai declined politely.
Working for oneself and working for others required different levels of motivation.
Attorney's fees would also need to be shared if he worked for others.
If he worked independently, although there would be fewer cases, the earnings would be greater.
He was still capable of calculating this account clearly.
