"It's just that we won't easily determine a crime right now, so Miss Xia, you and your mother were only detained for five days. But Mr. Xia was different. When the bailiffs were forcibly taking him away, he even attacked the bailiffs, causing scratches on their hands!"
"You don't think this is serious?"
Xia Ziyan pursed her lips. Things happened so fast that she felt it was all unreal. Suddenly, her husband, who said he would spoil her to the sky, wanted a divorce and even filed a lawsuit to get her property.
His father spoke for him and is now under criminal detention and may be sentenced.
How did this suddenly become like this? It was fine before.
But after thinking about it, Xia Ziyan said, "Then Lawyer Wang, do you have any solution for my dad's problem? Don't you lawyers all have solutions?"
Wang Daoren shook his head and said, "This is a criminal matter. I'm a civil lawyer and don't know much about criminal cases, so I suggest you seek help from a criminal defense lawyer or apply for legal aid."
Hearing this, Xia Ziyan suddenly frowned: "Lawyer Wang, this is a bit too unkind. I have already paid you, why do you want me to hire a lawyer again?"
"You were quick to collect the money, but why do you just ignore me when I need to work?"
Wang Daoren clenched his fists again and said reluctantly, "Miss Xia, these are two cases. The money I received is for your divorce case. Your father was arrested, which is another case. I will not take the money from this case!"
"But what's the difference? What's another case? You went to help me and my mom when we were detained. Why didn't you say it was another case then?"
Lawyer Wang wanted to cry, he really wanted to cry. This client was no longer unreasonable, she was just being unreasonable. Did I help her for free and still cause trouble?
"No, Miss Xia, we should be conscientious. I did help you for free, but I should have charged you. Can you use this as an excuse now?"
"I don't care!" Xia Ziyan said again: "You have to do the job if you take my money. If you don't care, I will complain to the Bar Association!"
If Zhou Yi's insistence is a bit unreasonable, then Xia Ziyan's insistence is another kind of unreasonableness in life.
It's the kind of person who always says things like "If you don't do something good, I'll complain."
She often said this in the past. Basically, everyone didn't want to trouble her because she was a young girl, so they would generally do what they could.
But the consequence of this was that Xia Ziyan felt it was natural.
But just as he finished speaking, he saw Wang Daoren on the opposite side suddenly explode.
"You want to complain about me? Go ahead, I'm not stopping you. You can't find the Bar Association, right? I can help you find the way. Go ahead, if you don't complain about me today, I'll look down on you!"
Lawyer Wang thought about the clients he had met in the past and felt a surge of grievances. I don't have it easy. Not only do I meet someone who wants to get something for free, but he also threatens to complain at every turn.
"I'm telling you, I've been suspended twice. I know the Bar Association and the Judicial Bureau's training sessions better than anyone else, and they're still threatening me. Go ahead!"
Xia Ziyan was stunned. She had never seen Lawyer Wang get angry before.
"Also, by the way, I'm not going to fight that divorce lawsuit anymore. I'm breaking the contract, and I'm not going to lose a cent of the compensation I owe. I'm notifying the law firm right now!"
"I won't serve you anymore!"
Perhaps finally catching the end, Xia Ziyan said: "You dare to scold me? And you call yourself the boss? What kind of service attitude is this? I'm going to file a complaint against you and shut you down again!"
"Go ahead. I don't even want to be a lawyer anymore. Can I change my career? Can I go to a construction site to do the plastering? Why should I accept your threats?"
After saying that, Wang Daoren slammed the materials in his hand onto the table and left.
If you threaten me, I won't even work in the legal profession anymore. If you threaten me to complain, it's up to you. At most, you can revoke my license. What else do I have to worry about?
Wang Daoren's other colleagues at the law firm came up to inquire about the situation, and the director quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Ms. Xia, don't be so anxious. What's going on?"
"Ask him! He's a lawyer who took the money but refused to fight the case. He even cursed me, called himself 'my boss', and even wanted to beat me up. If you don't deal with it, I'm going to the Bar Association, the Justice Bureau, and even the capital to sue you!"
The director quickly grabbed Wang Daoren and asked, "Old Wang, what's going on?"
"I'm done with this. Enough of the talk. I have to pay the money and do whatever I want. That's it!"
A colleague stepped forward and managed to persuade both parties to stop, and soon everyone knew what was going on.
Xia Ziyan, who was being advised by a female lawyer not to be angry, met the director of the law firm.
"I'm sorry, Miss Xia, but the firm has decided to terminate your contract. This is a unilateral breach of contract on our part, so we will pay you the liquidated damages stipulated in the contract. Please seek other assistance!"
What? Xia Ziyan was stunned, looking at the director whose attitude had changed drastically: "You want to terminate the contract? But..."
"Your complaint is your freedom and your right. We won't stop you. I just want to say, Miss Xia, we are lawyers and service personnel, but we are also human beings. So leave it at that."
The right to defense is a basic right, but the law does not stipulate that civil cases must have an agent. Our temple is small and cannot accommodate a great god like you, but this is okay, right?
For a person like this, let's hope she can find a great nemesis to sue.
