1. I provided criminal defense services for a manager accused of a serious crime involving liability at a subsidiary of a Fortune 500 company. The prosecution had recommended a prison sentence, but after effective defense, the client ultimately received a verdict of exemption from criminal punishment. 2. I provided second-instance criminal defense services for the owner of a traditional Chinese medicine store accused of illegally acquiring and selling products made from precious and endangered wildlife. The store owner was initially sentenced to 10 years and 2 months in prison in the first instance. After effective defense, the second-instance court reduced the sentence to 3 years’ probation. 3. I provided criminal defense services for a branch manager at a Beijing branch of GF Bank who was accused of embezzlement. The investigative authorities had determined that the amount embezzled exceeded 60 million yuan. Despite the prosecution’s sentencing recommendation of 14 years and 6 months, after effective defense, the charged amount was reduced to over 20 million yuan, and the client was ultimately sentenced to 11 years and 6 months in prison. 4. I provided defense services for a client accused of dangerous driving (blood alcohol concentration of 214 mg/100 ml after drinking) and obstructing official duties (resisting law enforcement resulting in minor injuries to two police officers). After effective defense, the charge of obstructing official duties was ultimately dropped, and the charge of dangerous driving resulted in a sentence of three months’ detention with five months’ probation. 5. I provided defense services for a client accused of illegal business operations. The case involved an amount exceeding 20 million yuan, and the indictment confirmed illegal profits of over 6 million yuan. The prosecution recommended a sentence of three years and five months, along with a fine of 6 million yuan. After effective defense, the judicial audit report commissioned by the public security authorities was not adopted, some of the alleged criminal acts were found not to constitute a crime, and the client ultimately received probation without having to pay the fine. 6. I represented a client in a dispute over a wealth management contract. The client had entrusted another person to manage their stock account, but no evidence had been produced. Ultimately, through a well-designed litigation strategy and evidence-gathering plan, I brought in supervision from both the public security authorities and the China Securities Regulatory Commission, obtained crucial evidence, and after multiple rounds of trial, successfully recovered losses beyond expectations.
