Q

Will submitting a letter of reflection prevent obstruction of justice punishment?

Legal IntellectualViews42,863

Recently, after a company dinner, I couldn't find a designated driver and frustratedly got behind the wheel myself, causing a minor pedestrian accident. The victim clearly told me to just go at the time. Since there was no visible damage, I thought it was just a relief and foolishly left the scene, but now I'm in a situation where I have to be investigated for drunk driving hit-and-run. In this case, I'm wondering about drunk driving attorney fees, and please let me know the punishment level for drunk driving with a pedestrian accident.

Answer to Related Inquiry

Hello. This is Daeryun Law Firm (LLC).

Even if you cannot remember, the fact that you have already committed violent words and actions against a police officer is established.

Then, you must think about what kind of response strategy to use to avoid obstruction of justice punishment.

If you are currently under suspicion of assaulting a public official and causing injury, under Article 136 of the Criminal Act, you may be subject to imprisonment of up to 5 years or a fine of up to 10 million won, so you must consider with an attorney before the police investigation what strategy to use to respond.

Obstruction of justice punishment is a more serious matter than thought, but most clients respond complacently saying they were intoxicated. However, if the degree of assault is severe or injury was caused, aggravated punishment is possible.

In addition, the more the charges become an established fact, the most important sentencing conditions that investigative agencies look at are as follows.

How much remorseful attitude you have toward the charges, what efforts you made to recover the victim's damage, and whether you made efforts not to repeat the offense.

Of course, as you mentioned, you can submit a letter of reflection in which you reflect on your actions and a plea letter from people around you to plead for leniency, but please be aware that it is difficult to receive leniency just by submitting a letter of reflection.
