The Dagong Law Firm in Heilongjiang Province has established the “Heilongjiang Dagong Voluntary Surrender Legal Service Center” to provide free defense counsel for criminal suspects with “economic difficulties” who voluntarily surrender to the police or procuratorial organs investigating them. Center employees will conduct phone consultations for suspects and explain the relevant “laws, regulations and policies on leniency, reduced sentences and exemptions from punishments” and accompany them to police or procuracy offices to surrender.
