Can I avoid punishment if I voluntarily surrender for drug offenses?

Daegu attorney, please reply. While working as a startup developer, I was intentionally excluded from work duties... And they subtly suggested I should be fired, acting petty and underhanded, so I was considering whether to resign. Then they essentially forced voluntary resignation by saying there's a new replacement, and I submitted resignation under pressure. Is this unfair dismissal? Can I file a lawsuit?

Let me explain in detail about drug self-surrender and sentencing.

To put it bluntly, there have been cases where actual prison sentences were imposed despite voluntary surrender for drug offenses, so surrendering does not guarantee leniency.

Drug-related crimes have emerged as a major social issue, so even first-time offenders may face severe punishment.

If you are a first-time simple user, voluntary surrender can sometimes work as a favorable factor.

However, you should be careful that if you hastily surrender without preparation and make slip-ups during the investigation, this could lead to other cases or undermine the credibility of your statements.

From the early stages of the case, you should consult with an attorney experienced in drug cases and approach the surrender strategically.

Drug cases are quite complex with many legal elements, so it is good to thoroughly establish a strategy on how to approach when surrendering.

Please remember that it is advantageous to entrust the case to an attorney with extensive experience and know-how in drug cases, and to maximize possible mitigating factors to reduce the sentence.
