Criminal Case Response Guide: How to Timely Find a Reliable Lawyer and Strive for Favorable Outcomes

In the event of a sudden criminal case, it is usually the pillar of the family who is taken away, leaving family members who are unfamiliar with the situation. At this time, how can family members quickly find a competent lawyer and take appropriate action to help the parties involved?

The following is a sharing of experiences from a real case, hoping to provide reference for everyone.

One morning, Mrs. Wang's family was having breakfast when suddenly the police came to take Mr. Wang away. Mrs. Wang was completely at a loss and had to wait at the police station for two days, eventually receiving the notification that her husband was detained on suspicion of fraud.

Due to a lack of social contact in daily life, Mrs. Wang did not have a lawyer's contact information in her address book. She had to turn to her husband's old friend, Brother Zhao, and eventually got in touch with a professional lawyer team.

During her first communication with the lawyer, Mrs. Wang was not clear about what exactly her husband was suspected of. The lawyer helped her recall relevant details through guided questions. It was eventually discovered that Mr. Wang had recently sold a sum of USDT cryptocurrency, and it was likely that he inadvertently received illicit funds in this transaction.

The lawyer quickly went to the detention center to meet Mr. Wang. Through the conversation, it was learned that Mr. Wang sold some Bitcoin due to financial pressure from his family. He completed the transaction through a legitimate trading platform, and the other party transferred 500,000 yuan to his account.

A few days later, local police arrived to question Mr. Wang. Thanks to prior guidance from his lawyer, Mr. Wang was able to respond calmly, clearly stating that he was only engaging in normal transactions and had no intention of assisting in fraud or money laundering.

However, the investigating police required Mr. Wang to return the entire 500,000 yuan "tainted money"; otherwise, they would not process his bail application. This was difficult for Mr. Wang and his wife to accept - this money was earned from legitimate transactions and had already been used to repay medical loans.

In the face of adversity, the legal team adopted a dual approach: on one hand, submitting a detailed legal opinion to elaborate on the facts and legal basis for Mr. Wang's innocence; on the other hand, assisting Mrs. Wang in communicating with the police to explain the family's difficulties from a humanitarian perspective.

After numerous efforts, Mr. Wang successfully obtained bail within 30 days, and there was no need to return any funds. This result is truly hard-won.

The success of this case is largely attributed to the sufficient trust and tacit cooperation between the couple involved and their lawyer. In contrast, in some cases, family members have doubts about the lawyer's suggestions, missing the best opportunity for handling the case, which makes it difficult for the case to progress smoothly.

Therefore, communicating more with family about work content and project situations, especially when it involves emerging industries or areas with ambiguous legal boundaries, can prepare them for potential risks and unexpected situations. At the same time, getting to know reliable lawyer friends and mastering basic legal knowledge can also play an important role in critical moments.

I hope everyone stays safe, but it is always wise to prepare for the unexpected. When facing sudden legal risks, staying calm and rational, and trusting the judgment of professionals is the best way to protect yourself and your family.
