1. How the Client Came to the Gwangju Law Office
The client came to the Gwangju law office after engaging in a mutual assault with the victim and being charged with assault, and came to the law office for a consultation.
The Client Who Consulted at the Gwangju Law Office
The client who consulted at the Gwangju law office had been charged with assault after a physical altercation with the victim.
On the ground that the client was making noise on an empty lot owned by the victim, the victim brought over a piece of wood lying nearby and assaulted him.
The victim also slapped the client on the cheek and struck him on the arms, legs, and other areas.
In response, the client pushed and bit the victim in order to defend against the victim's assault.
In the end, the client was charged with assault and requested assistance from the Gwangju attorney at the Gwangju law office in order to avoid an actual custodial sentence of imprisonment.

2. Assistance for a Client of the Gwangju Office
For the client's assault charge, the Gwangju office formed a Gwangju attorney team and argued as follows.
Gwangju Office Argues the Absence of Intent to Commit Assault
The Gwangju office argued that when the victim approached holding a piece of wood, the client was startled and pushed the victim away involuntarily, showing no intent whatsoever to commit assault.
Likewise, when a finger entered the client's mouth, the client was surprised and closed it, and this too was not done with any intent to bite.
Gwangju Office Argues That the Degree of Assault Inflicted on the Victim Was Minor
The degree of assault that the victim received from the client was not as serious as the assault that the client had received.
Accordingly, the Gwangju office argued that the victim did not need to go to a hospital for treatment.
Gwangju Office Argues That the Assault Was One-Sided on the Victim's Part
The victim assaulted the client first out of anger.
The client only responded in order to defend against this.
The Gwangju office emphasized that the client suffered serious bodily injury from the victim's assault and had to receive treatment at a hospital.
