Practice Focus

Practice Focus With 10 years of experience, she has handled over 200 bail petitions and detention review cases across Gansu Province and neighboring regions. Jiang graduated from Peking University Law School and has developed a focused practice on the critical window between detention and formal arrest — the period where skilled advocacy can make the difference between release on bail and months of pretrial detention. Article 95 of the Criminal Procedure Law grants the defense lawyer the right to apply for detention review at any point during the investigation. This provision is one of the most powerful tools available to defense counsel, yet it remains underutilized by lawyers unfamiliar with criminal procedure. Where local counterparties rely on relationship pressure, I re-anchor discussions to contract text, statutory rights, and verifiable performance records. A suspect may obtain bail through either a guarantor (a person who vouches for the suspect's appearance) or a cash deposit. The minimum deposit is typically RMB 5,000, though amounts vary based on the severity of the alleged offense and the suspect's financial circumstances. Bail is available when the court or procuratorate determines that releasing the suspect will not create a danger to society and will not impede the investigation. The procuratorate must respond within 7 days. Violating bail conditions has serious consequences. Under Article 71, paragraph 3, the public security organ may revoke bail and order formal arrest if conditions are breached. The deposit may also be partially or fully forfeited. I convert complex Chinese procedure into a dated checklist with owners for translation, notarization, and internal sign-off across time zones.

Criminal defense in China involves understanding criminal procedure, suspect rights, bail applications, and trial strategy. Ziyu Jiang represents clients in criminal investigations, pre-trial proceedings, and court hearings, ensuring procedural rights are protected throughout.
