  Acquittal, Indictment Dismissed

  Drowsy-driving Accident — Indicted for 'Failure to Take Post-accident Measures and Causing Injury'

  This case arose when the defendant, driving a Porter truck, dozed off at the wheel and rear-ended the vehicle in front. The victim was diagnosed with a mild concussion requiring about two weeks of treatment, and vehicle repair costs exceeded KRW 8 million. The Prosecution indicted the defendant for violating the Traffic Accident Act (causing injury through professional negligence) and for failing to take post-accident measures. The central issue was that the defendant did not stop immediately after the collision, a fact that, if treated as fleeing the scene, could have had a major impact on sentencing. The defendant, a diligent working man, was at risk of becoming a convicted criminal.

  Accused of Rape After a Casual Encounter

  Our client met the victim through a casual encounter at an entertainment establishment, and the two checked into a motel together in the early hours of that morning. Physical contact took place between them, but the victim later alleged that our client had attempted intercourse against her will and that it amounted to rape, and filed a criminal complaint. She gave investigators a detailed account of the specific time, place, and course of physical contact, and the consistency and specificity of a sexual assault victim's statement can weigh very heavily against a suspect.

  Victim Representation — Fraud, Theft, Computer Fraud

  Our client temporarily lent a credit card to an acquaintance on the basis of personal trust, but the acquaintance used the card without authorization to make repeated high-value purchases, then repeatedly broke promises to repay and avoided contact, persisting in deceptive conduct. In the process, our client was even pressured for cash and faced the threat of further losses. Concluding that a private resolution was no longer possible, our client proceeded with a criminal complaint.

  Narcotics Control Act Violation (Psychotropics), Alteration of Private Documents

  Our client was indicted for violating the Narcotics Control Act and, given a prior conviction for the same type of offense, a prison sentence was highly likely. Moreover, beyond simple use or possession, additional charges of altering a private document and uttering the altered document were added, putting him at risk of having the offense judged extremely serious. Facing a desperate situation in which a lengthy period of incarceration seemed unavoidable, our client came to DAEON Law Firm urgently seeking legal representation.

  Dismissed (Procedural)

  Damages Claim by a Clan Association Alleging Embezzlement

  This real estate dispute arose when part of the property that the clan association (the plaintiff) had placed under title trust with several individuals passed by inheritance, and the defendant who inherited it disposed of it at his discretion. The plaintiff strongly objected to the defendant's sale of the property and filed suit, but from the defendant's standpoint this was an attempt to impose unjust liability over a matter already concluded. Despite having exercised a legitimate right to dispose of inherited property, the defendant found himself embroiled in a lawsuit demanding the return of a large sum, and felt his property rights and reputation were under serious threat.

  Secretly Filming Sexual Intercourse

  During a sexual encounter with someone he had met through social media, our client filmed part of the other person's body without consent and was booked on a charge of illegal filming. Crimes involving illegally filmed material now attract intense public outrage and very harsh treatment from investigators, so there was a very real danger that this would lead to a prison sentence. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, our client came to DAEON Law Firm for legal assistance.

  Traffic Accident Act (Injury), Road Traffic Act (Drunk Driving)

  Our client got behind the wheel with a blood alcohol concentration above 0.03% and caused a serious traffic accident by colliding with a city bus carrying numerous passengers. Because the collision involved a large vehicle such as a bus, the potential for casualties was very high, and the case was viewed as far more serious than ordinary drunk driving since it endangered many potential victims. Our client faced an extremely unfavorable situation, with heavy criminal punishment including a prison term expected.

  Scuffle with a Police Officer — Obstruction of Business, Obstruction of Justice, etc.

  During an argument over smoking inside a restaurant, our client went so far as to use physical force against the police officer who responded to the scene, and was booked for obstruction of justice and assault. Crimes against public authority are treated with great severity by investigators and courts these days, and our client was in a precarious position where a prison sentence could easily have been unavoidable. Worse, his relationship with the injured officer had deteriorated to the point where he had no realistic way of reaching a settlement on his own.
