There's been someone wandering around my house frequently, and I've been anxious. A few days ago, taking advantage of the unlocked gate, they entered the yard. The front door was closed, but the moment I opened it, that person was right in front of me, which startled me. I was too scared to say anything at the time, but they kept wandering near my house afterward. In this case, can I report them for trespassing? If I report it, what measures can I receive?

Criminal lawsuit costs vary depending on which stage the case progresses to, and the cost structure differs depending on whether it is at the investigation stage or the trial stage.

Criminal lawsuit costs are often divided according to case progression stages rather than being determined collectively from the start.

First, at the police investigation stage, the focus is on organizing statements, responding to investigations, and reviewing evidence, and criminal lawsuit costs at this stage consist of initial response costs.

If the case is concluded at this stage, the overall cost burden may be relatively limited.

On the other hand, if the case is referred to the prosecutor's office or indicted and proceeds to trial, criminal lawsuit costs may increase as trial preparation, defense strategy establishment, and witness examination response are added.

Therefore, it is realistic to understand that criminal lawsuit costs vary depending on how far the case progresses.

As you asked, before the investigation, it is important to respond in the following order.

1. Organize the case circumstances
Organize when, where, and what the situation was in chronological order

2. Secure evidence
Verify objective materials such as messages, call records, and CCTV

3. Set the direction of statements
Pre-check parts that may be unfavorable or misunderstood

4. Prepare for investigation response
Organize answers to expected questions and review response methods

In criminal cases, initial statements are often reflected in subsequent investigations and trials, so it is very important to organize the case flow and response direction before the investigation.

In conclusion, criminal lawsuit costs vary depending on the case stage, but more important than cost is the initial response, and case results and overall burden can vary greatly depending on whether you are prepared before the investigation.
