After Resolving a 30-year Dispute, Lawyer Zengyu Jin Receives a Banner for Her Considerate Services

On the afternoon of June 18th, 2019, Ms. Liang visited Jiali Law Firm to present Lawyer Zengyu Jin with a banner.

Ms. Liang and her husband fell in love at first sight and married just half a month later, regardless of dissenting voices in their families. Yet, during the marriage, their relationship gradually became more difficult due to conflicts and misunderstandings, leading to a separation of more than 10 years. In this case, the dispute was mainly over the ownership of a house. The original owner was Ms. Liang’s father, who made a will in which he left the house to Ms. Liang. However, Ms. Liang signed an agreement of sale and purchase for the house with her father before his death. Therefore, the two parties, Ms. Liang and her husband, were in dispute over who owned the house.

After accepting the entrustment, Lawyer Jin approached the case comprehensively and thoroughly. She went to several agencies to investigate and collect evidence. In handling the case, after getting to know Ms. Liang and her husband, Jin found that despite the dispute between them, the two still had good feelings towards each other to some extent. Specifically, despite accusing her husband of not fulfilling his role as a member of the family, Ms. Liang helped him by registering the household under her name; the husband also expressed his regret about being absent for his son’s childhood, and his longing for a relationship between father and son.

Upon learning about this, Lawyer Zengyu Jin sincerely communicated with Ms. Liang and her husband while advancing the judicial procedures. By addressing their perspectives and emotions, Jin hoped to achieve mediation between the two. Finally, the husband agreed to transfer the house to his son without charging any money; after that, Ms. Liang decided to withdraw the suit and made a commitment to provide him with shelter.

Ultimately, Ms. Liang and her husband signed the divorce papers. With the divorce filed at the Civil Affairs Bureau, the man and son wept on each other’s shoulders. Ms. Liang said that her ex-husband’s act of transferring the house to their son without charging any money moved her deeply.

After as long as 30 years, their dispute was finally resolved. Ms. Liang and her family thought highly of Lawyer Jin’s professional competency, responsible attitude and dedication to defending her client’s interests in handling the case. Therefore, they had a banner made and presented it to Lawyer Jin as a gift.

Jin said, “Rather than receiving the banner, the most pleasant thing to me is to see Ms. Liang’s family let go of the troubled times of the past and put aside their interests to pursue warm relations among family members. “Towards a happy family” is the belief and vision to which Jiali Law Firm has been, is and always will be dedicated. Every Jiali lawyer regards it as his or her mission to pursue “urging clients away from negative feelings through professional knowledge and legal wisdom, and helping them to defend their interests and embrace a new life.”
