What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 853 - 274: Did Tang Fangjing take care of it? Then there’s no problem.
Chapter 853: Chapter 274: Did Tang Fangjing take care of it? Then there’s no problem.
Liu Letian is really feeling like his day couldn’t get any worse.
“What exactly is happening, explain it to me clearly, didn’t I leave you with clear instructions before I left, why would they still go file a complaint!”
He had not intended to deal with this, but there was no choice since they said they could also assign him another case from a different company, he really couldn’t refuse.
Even if a person charges three thousand, thirty people make it ninety thousand.
It might seem little to those netizens who reportedly earn an annual salary of a million each.
But you should realize, this is only the fee for the first trial, and the second trial is another ninety thousand, the key is that it requires no effort, he doesn’t even have to do it himself.
...
Just hand it over to the interns below, it’s like picking up money for free.
So he really had no choice but to accept.
Thus he resorted to a trick… In theory, an ordinary person wouldn’t notice it.
The junior staff Wang at the law firm said helplessly, “It’s that woman named Sun Yan, she claimed right off the bat that you accepted mediation without their permission…”
It took Wang quite a while to fully explain what had happened, and Liu Letian really lost his temper now.
“It’s Sun Yan again, huh? Who on earth did she find to deal with this!”
It definitely must be a peer, and one with abundant experience at that, only such a peer would know the ins and outs.
“What should we do now, chief?”
Liu Letian thought for a moment and said, “First, I’ll finish the lawsuit here, and then I’ll rush back immediately, this is so frustrating…”
Meanwhile, on the other side, Sun Yan and a group had already arrived at the Xihong District Justice Bureau.
“So many of you are filing a formal complaint against that lawyer?” The staff at the justice bureau was a bit surprised.
“Yes, a formal complaint against him, he would either very vaguely explain things or make up his mind by himself, we said to just let him ask and then decide whether to mediate based on the response.”
“But he just went ahead and made decisions for us, with no intention of discussing with us at all.”
“Yes, this lawyer is too unreliable!”
Everyone has their say, and the staff member gets a bit confused and quickly says, “Don’t panic everyone, let’s have one person speak.”
Sun Yan steps forward to speak, and her core argument is that the lawyer is unreliable.
The staff member now understands and nods, “I get what you mean, you’re saying that Liu Letian didn’t clarify the situation during his practice and also he took a sudden business trip without notification during agreed-upon times.”
“And also exceeded his authority, making decisions on mediation on his own, damaging your interests, right?”
“Yes, that’s exactly it,” Sun Yan quickly replied, “I don’t know why he did it, we agreed to pay whatever amount he quoted for the legal fees, yet he did this.”
After taking notes, the staff member said, “All right, I have recorded your complaints. We will start investigating soon and will notify you of any developments as they arise, okay?”
A single person filing a complaint and a group filing a complaint are two entirely different concepts.
There’s nothing to do if the training institute’s boss runs away, the related department won’t compensate you with money, if a criminal case can’t proceed, the only thing left is to seek legal solutions.
But, taking action against a runaway boss is one thing, getting a handle on a small law firm director is another, it’s well within reach.
Especially when the justice bureau itself directly intervenes!
When the time came that afternoon, Liu Letian hurried back to Xihong District, his seat was hardly warm when a call came from the justice bureau.
“Yes, I… I did explain to them, they’re making things up, how could I possibly not explain, maybe I thought some things didn’t need saying…”
“Another thing, I really didn’t mean to agree to mediation, I only talked to the other side out of good intentions, alright, I understand.”
After hanging up the phone, Liu Letian was truly upset inside, with so many people complaining together, the justice bureau was bound to investigate, not just with a couple of phone calls.
He wasn’t afraid of this matter; even if it’s confirmed, it would be transferred to the Lawyers Association for processing, at most it would mean a fine, might not even reach that point.
What he feared was the investigation of other matters.

On another morning, Liu Letian arrived at the Xihong District Justice Bureau, where he was called in for another discussion.
“You’re well aware of the current situation, you say you acted out of good faith, but I’ve confirmed with the other side, they specifically instructed you before, to just ask questions, and not to make any decisions,” Old Hu, a staff member in charge of handling these issues at the justice bureau, said to Liu Letian in front of him.
Liu Letian’s face showed helplessness, “This is a bit… isn’t this unreasonable? As a lawyer, shouldn’t I exercise some initiative?”
“Clearly, negotiating could bring more benefits…”
However, before he could finish, Old Hu interrupted him.
“Director Liu, you’re a professional lawyer, you’ve been practicing for ten years, in theory, you should know better than anyone that you’re an agent, and you only need to do what your clients ask you to do!”
Old Hu stared at Liu Letian and continued, “But what did you do? Last time you claimed you made it clear to the clients, but all of them denied it, do you know what that means?”
“Furthermore, even if you think this could bring more benefits to your clients, don’t you even have time to make a phone call to communicate?”
Old Hu has been working at the justice bureau for many years, and he finds it an indefensible position.
