Lu effectively safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of the defendant Mr. Ji and received heartfelt thanks from the defendant himself and his family members;
Lu acted as the defense lawyer for the CEO of a private enterprise suspected of obstructing public administration. Lu was able to obtain a document of criminal understanding issued by the police involved in the case, and through his professional legal defense to the prosecutors, prompted the case to be considered too minor to prosecute.
