1. The Client Who Sought a Gwangju Criminal Attorney
The client who sought a Gwangju criminal attorney faced the prospect of a heavy penalty after inflicting injuries on the victim, including rib fractures requiring approximately 4 weeks of treatment.
The client therefore requested assistance from a Gwangju criminal attorney in order to reduce the sentence as much as possible.
How the Client Came to Seek a Gwangju Criminal Attorney
The client in this case first met the victim at university.
The client and the victim communicated well and became close quickly, and they soon developed into a romantic relationship.
However, several months later, the victim notified the client of a breakup, citing differences in personality.
The client did not accept the victim's request to break up and refused it.
Angry at the victim, the client got into an altercation, kicked the victim in the abdomen, strangled the victim's neck,
and struck the victim's solar plexus several times, thereby inflicting injuries on the victim, including rib fractures requiring approximately 4 weeks of treatment.
Because the degree of the injuries the client inflicted on the victim was by no means minor and the nature of the offense was serious, the client faced the risk of a heavy penalty.
The client requested assistance from a criminal attorney at the Gwangju office in order to reduce the sentence as much as possible.
