Guidelines for Responding to Sudden Criminal Cases: How to Quickly Find a Reliable Lawyer and Provide Effective Assistance

In criminal cases, it is often the case that the breadwinner of the family is suddenly arrested, leaving family members who know nothing about the case. In this situation, how can family members promptly find a reliable lawyer for their loved ones? What actions can they take to better assist the parties involved and promote the case in a favorable direction?

Here is a case study experience sharing, hoping to provide some inspiration for everyone.

Case Review

One morning, Mrs. Wang's family was having breakfast at home, preparing to send the children to school. Suddenly, several police officers arrived and took Mr. Wang away, citing suspicion of fraud. Mrs. Wang was completely at a loss and later learned that her husband had been detained at a detention center, with the case being handled by the police from a certain area in Yunnan.

With the help of her friends, Mrs. Wang contacted a professional legal team. After initial communication, the lawyers determined that Mr. Wang may have inadvertently received involved funds during the process of selling virtual currency.

The lawyer quickly met with Mr. Wang and learned that he had indeed sold a sum of USDT recently, with a transaction amount of 500,000 yuan. Subsequently, the Yunnan police formally interrogated Mr. Wang.

Case Progress

The police required Mr. Wang to return 500,000 yuan of "ill-gotten gains" in exchange for being released on bail. However, this money is Mr. Wang's legitimate trading income and has been used to repay a loan, making it impossible to return.

In the face of this dilemma, the legal team adopted the following strategies:

1. Submit a detailed legal opinion to the public security organ, arguing that Mr. Wang does not constitute a crime.

2. Continuously exert pressure through the petition channels.

3. Guide Mrs. Wang to communicate with the handling officer as a family member and express the family difficulties.

4. Continuously exert effort from the three dimensions of law, procedure, and reason.

After 30 days of effort, Mr. Wang successfully obtained bail without any refund of funds.

Experience Summary

1. Family members should maintain good communication, and regularly let family members know about their work contents and possible risks.

2. Family members should remain calm after an incident and seek professional legal assistance as soon as possible.

3. The parties and their families must fully trust and cooperate with the lawyer's work.

4. Lawyers need to develop strategies from multiple aspects, including legal and emotional considerations, to continuously advance the case.

5. You can usually meet trustworthy lawyers for emergencies.

6. Understanding basic legal knowledge helps maintain calm judgment in emergency situations.
