1. The Client

The client conspired with the defendants and obtained insurance proceeds through insurance fraud.

Seeking to avoid a severe punishment, the client consulted with a Gunsan insurance attorney.

The Circumstances of the Case as Identified by the Gunsan Insurance Attorney

The client conspired with the defendants to commit insurance fraud and to receive settlement money.
