This afternoon, a couple visited my firm. The wife explained that she had invested around 200,000 RMB into a partnership agreement. Later, the business spiraled out of control, with registered capital ballooning to tens of millions. She found herself trapped, unable to withdraw from the partnership, and eventually came into conflict with the founder who had originally invited her in.
While this isn’t a particularly unique case— Attorney Lyu encounters situations like this every day—this lady was in tears. She revealed that the stress had driven her to the brink, even leading to suicide attempts. After collecting the consultation fee, Attorney Lyu provided a professional analysis of her situation, which helped her abandon those dark thoughts.
I feel that most people are not very knowledgeable about the law. When things go wrong, they tend to get tunnel vision. Compounding this, they watch short videos online from all sorts of sources. Some creators deliberately stir up emotions and create anxiety, perhaps to profit from it. However, my principle is to state the facts and the truth. After hearing my analysis, the lady felt relieved.
I believe that the job of a attorney isn’t just about facing legal issues; often, we have to address the psychological state of our clients. If you can thoroughly explain the legal aspects while also comforting the client’s heart, you are a good attorney. In many cases, clients aren’t cornered by the law itself, but crushed by their own psychological burden.
