1. The Client Who Sought a Gwangju Criminal Attorney

Gwangju Criminal Attorney

The client who sought a Gwangju criminal attorney had inflicted injuries requiring four weeks of treatment on the victim, his girlfriend.

The client requested the help of a Gwangju criminal attorney to resolve the case with the assistance of an attorney.

How the Client Came to Seek a Gwangju Criminal Attorney

The client in this case was given notice of a breakup by his girlfriend on the grounds of personality differences.

The client continued to try to persuade her to change her mind, but when things did not go as he wished, he gradually grew angry.

His persuasion of the victim became increasingly sharp and escalated into an argument.

Unable to control his anger, the client kicked the victim's abdomen and waist and pushed her body with his hands, inflicting injuries requiring four weeks of treatment.

The client was in a very unfavorable position because he had a record of prior punishment for the same type of offenses, such as assault and infliction of bodily injury.

Seeking to avoid an actual custodial sentence at the very least, he requested assistance from a Gwangju criminal attorney.
