Q

How much are the drunk driving attorney fees for fleeing after drunk driving?

Legal IntellectualViews59,820

A little while ago, after a company dinner, I could not easily get a designated driver, so out of frustration I took the wheel, and a minor accident involving a person occurred, and at the time the victim clearly told me to just go. Because there was no visible harm, I just thought I was lucky, and foolishly I left the scene, but now I have ended up in a situation where I must be investigated for fleeing after drunk driving. In this case, I am curious about the drunk driving attorney fees, and please tell me how severe the drunk driving punishment is for an accident involving a person.

Answer to Related Inquiry

Typical fees for retaining a drunk driving attorney can range from at least 6.6 million won and, depending on the case, rise to as much as 55 million won.

In the case of fleeing after drunk driving, that is, committing a hit-and-run accident, the drunk driving attorney fees inevitably rise.

This is because not only how the attorney assists with the fleeing after drunk driving, but also the attorney's career, the complexity of the case, and regional accessibility must be considered, and various factors are taken into account, such as where a settlement with the victim is necessary and the attorney handles it on your behalf, attends the police investigation, or conducts visitations when you are detained.

If you are worried about the fees for retaining a drunk driving attorney, we recommend that you check whether the law office allows installment payments.


As in your case, where you caused an accident involving a person and then fled after drunk driving, you may receive heavy punishment as a crime.

If you did not take the necessary measures to aid the casualties and did not provide the victim with your personal details, it is regarded as simple fleeing.

In this case, if the victim was injured, it is a serious situation punishable by imprisonment for a definite term of at least 1 year or a fine of 5 million won to 30 million won.

However, since there are also precedents that have denied the fleeing offense itself where the victim's injury was very minor, it appears that a consultation with an attorney is first needed to determine whether it can be judged as the crime of fleeing after drunk driving.
