Wenhao Zhou is a full-time lawyer at Beijing Shengwei (Chongqing) Law Firm, based in the Shapingba District of Chongqing. He has extensive experience in criminal defense, bail and detention matters, marriage and family law, labor disputes, and drug offense cases. Attorney Zhou represents clients throughout the criminal justice process, from pre-trial detention and bail hearings to trial defense and appeals.

Under Chinese criminal procedure as codified in the PRC Criminal Procedure Law, suspects have the right to legal representation from the first interrogation by investigative authorities. Attorney Zhou provides timely intervention during criminal investigations, including detention review hearings, bail applications, and evidence examination. The Criminal Procedure Law provides three types of compulsory measures short of formal arrest: summons by warrant, bail pending trial, and residential surveillance. Under Article 67 of the Criminal Procedure Law, bail pending trial may be granted when the court determines that the suspect does not pose a flight risk, tampering with evidence risk, or additional crime risk. Attorney Zhou has extensive experience crafting persuasive bail arguments tailored to each client's circumstances.

His criminal defense practice covers drug offenses, economic crimes, violent crimes, and white-collar offenses. He emphasizes early case intervention during the investigation stage, when defense counsel can review detention decisions, apply for bail, and begin building the defense case. During trial, Attorney Zhou cross-examines prosecution witnesses, presents defense evidence, and makes legal arguments on behalf of his clients.

Attorney Zhou also handles civil litigation matters including contract disputes and personal injury claims. He serves clients throughout Chongqing and accepts cases on a national basis. His approach combines thorough legal knowledge with practical courtroom experience to achieve the best possible outcomes for his clients.
