[Busan Criminal Case Attorney's Assistance] With the Assistance of the Busan Criminal Case Attorney, Punishment Reduced to a Suspended Sentence on Appeal in a Special Bodily Injury Case

The client who requested assistance from the Busan criminal case attorney had received an actual prison sentence in the lower court on a charge of special bodily injury and needed a reduction of the punishment.

The client got into a dispute while on the phone with an office employee over the cost of installing an air conditioner.

Because the office employee had not met his demand and had upset him, the client went to the office carrying two knives.

He then swung the knives at the employees, hurled abuse, and inflicted bodily injury.

As a result, the client was charged with special bodily injury by the injured employees and had received an actual prison sentence in the lower court.

The client came to the Daeryun Busan criminal case attorney seeking to overturn the lower court judgment and obtain a reduced punishment through an appeal.
