Criminal lawyers refer to lawyers whose main business is to provide legal services for criminal cases. In criminal cases, criminal lawyers can defend the accused based on the information obtained from the suspect regarding the case and other relevant evidence materials. They can professionally represent the client in accordance with the law, effectively safeguarding the client's vital interests.

Most people who have never hired a lawyer do not fully understand the lawyer's role in criminal cases. Additionally, due to the deficiencies in our country's relevant laws and the lag in legal education efforts, there is a more significant issue: some corrupt officials in public departments have a resistance to lawyers and provide misleading guidance, leading many to doubt the work and role of lawyers. I often hear the family members of my clients say, 'Someone said, what’s the use of hiring a lawyer? Isn’t it up to us to decide if someone is guilty or not?' Such statements greatly undermine the work and interests of lawyers in criminal cases. More importantly, when family members believe such statements and place all their hopes on these individuals, it results in missed opportunities, significantly impacting the protection of the accused. It may also lead to being deceived, with hard-earned money wasted on these individuals. Is it true that lawyers have no role in criminal cases? In fact, lawyers have many responsibilities in criminal cases, and their role is undeniable. Many domestic and international cases can fully illustrate this. I will provide a brief introduction to the work of lawyers in criminal cases so that you can have a basic understanding. The involvement of lawyers in criminal cases can be divided into three stages: the investigation stage, the prosecution review stage, and the court trial stage. The work content, focus, methods, and roles of lawyers in these three stages are different.
