"For the criminal case you face, I protect your honor through an accurate grasp of its essence and legal analysis"
His main practice areas are property crimes, sex crimes, and criminal litigation. Attorney Lee Il-kwon was commissioned as a prosecutor at the Changwon District Prosecutors' Office and served for about 17 years in various regions as a prosecutor, deputy chief prosecutor, and chief prosecutor. During his time as a prosecutor, he handled important cases such as special investigations into insolvent debtor companies and investigations into financial and tax crimes. Moreover, drawing on his experience as a prosecutor specializing in real estate matters during his tenure at the Seoul Northern District Prosecutors' Office, he possesses expertise in conducting criminal litigation relating to real estate, taking charge of the defense in aggregate building suits, regional housing association suits, and lease suits and leading them to positive outcomes. Currently, as an attorney at Daeryun LLC, drawing on his experience handling corporate criminal cases, property crimes, sex crimes, and real estate criminal cases, he is active in leading numerous successful outcomes—establishing the innocence of wrongly accused suspects, or, even where charges are recognized, defending clients to obtain relatively lenient dispositions such as suspension of indictment or suspension of execution.
