Some successful cases:

Illegal Absorption of Public Deposits Case: A certain group was suspected of illegally absorbing public deposits, fund-raising fraud, and manipulating the securities market, with the amount of funds involved exceeding 200 billion yuan. As the group's defense attorney, I met with the company's detained executives on multiple occasions, interrogated other personnel, reviewed accounting and audit reports, and vigorously argued with the procuratorate and the court regarding the amount of funds involved in the fraudulent part of the case, significantly reducing the amount of fund-raising fraud and gaining the recognition of the client and his family. In another case, I accepted the commission of a well-known director and provided him with legal advice after he was investigated by the public security organ, thus avoiding his involvement in the case.

Murder case: The client was arrested for a crime committed 20 years ago. We promptly met with the client, put forward views favorable to the client to the procuratorate, and persisted in communicating with the victim's family without interruption, gaining the victim's family's understanding and achieving the client's and his family's desired goal of a suspended death sentence.

Drug trafficking death penalty review case: After being tried by an intermediate court and a higher court twice, the defendant was sentenced to death with immediate execution. During the death penalty review stage at the Supreme People's Court, the case was thoroughly reviewed, and the defendant was communicated with multiple times. Based on extensive investigative experience, a new defense argument was put forward that the defendant was lured into committing the crime by a police informant. As a result, the case was sent back for retrial, and a rare non-approval ruling was obtained.

Bribery case: The client contacted a public official to arrange a job for his/her relative, and was charged with the crime of bribery. Through sufficient legal argumentation and case explanations, the charge was defended from the crime of bribery to the relatively milder crime of offering bribes, which was recognized by the client and his/her family.

Bribery case: The client, a member of a local municipal leadership team, was accused of accepting bribes on more than ten occasions, involving a total amount of over 20 million yuan. Through rigorous case analysis and effective defense, the number of bribery incidents was reduced to four, and the bribe amount was reduced to 7 million yuan, significantly reducing the client's prison sentence.

Criminal cases involving organized crime: The client is a close relative of the main perpetrator who participated in many illegal activities. After analyzing dozens of criminal acts one by one and communicating repeatedly with prosecutors and judges, we put forward the defense opinion that the client's role was relatively minor, which avoided the unfavorable result of the client's personal property being confiscated in its entirety, preserved the family's source of livelihood, and gained the recognition of the client and his family.

Criminal enforcement appeal case: After the defendant was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, he/she was not imprisoned until several years later due to health reasons. There was a dispute between the original trial court and the defendant regarding the determination of the prison term. After reviewing all the case files, the defendant submitted his/her dissenting opinion to the court, applied for government information disclosure, and filed complaints and accusations against relevant units. As a result, the time during which the defendant was not imprisoned was counted as the actual prison term, significantly reducing the actual time the defendant spent in prison.

Fraud case: As the defense attorney for a public official, I conducted a thorough investigation of the involved properties, consulted dozens of appraisal agencies, and compared the circumstances of more than 20 co-defendants one by one. I presented sufficient evidence to prove that the client's crime was relatively minor, helping the client secure probation and winning the recognition of the client and his family. In another case, a well-known actor was defrauded of over 40 million yuan. As the litigation agent for the victim, I actively urged the investigative and prosecutorial authorities to seize the suspect's assets such as deposits, real estate, and vehicles, effectively recovering some of the property losses. I also timely fixed and submitted evidence, and the suspect was sentenced to life imprisonment, achieving the client's intended outcome.

Illegal smuggling case: The suspect used the methods of false declaration and concealment to conduct "customs clearance smuggling", and was accused of evading more than 20 million yuan in import taxes. After a detailed comparison of the cargo list, a large number of goods with insufficient evidence were excluded, and the import duties, value-added tax, and consumption tax were recalculated. The involved tax amount was reduced to 12 million yuan, and a defense opinion that the case was a corporate crime was put forward, which effectively reduced the criminal responsibility of the suspect.

Reputation damage case: Representing a certain enterprise group, we collected evidence of malicious rumors and smear campaigns against the enterprise by staff from a well-known media outlet, and proposed legal measures. We also appraised the actual property losses. After the case was reported to the police, the other party was investigated by the police, effectively safeguarding the enterprise's reputation.
