1. The Client Who Came to the Anyang Criminal Attorney
The Anyang criminal attorney was sought out by a client who, in order to clear himself of the 🔗failure to take measures after an accident allegation with the assistance of a specialized attorney, requested a consultation with the criminal attorney at the Anyang office.
How the Client Came to the Anyang Criminal Attorney
The client in this case collided with another vehicle while driving to work.
At the time of the incident, the collision was so minor that the client did not recognize the accident and continued driving, which became the issue.

The client had not been aware that an accident had occurred at all and was greatly bewildered upon being contacted by the police.

3. Assistance Provided by the Anyang Criminal Attorney
In order to establish the client's innocence, the Anyang criminal attorney gathered all favorable evidence and meticulously prepared his pleadings. The Anyang criminal attorney made the following arguments.
The Anyang Criminal Attorney Argued That the Client Had Not Recognized the Accident
The attorney emphasized that the accident produced only a scratch so slight that even the dashcam in the client's vehicle did not detect any impact, and that the client had not recognized the accident at all.
The Anyang Criminal Attorney Argued That the Client Had No Motive to Commit the Offense
The attorney emphasized that, because the client's vehicle was covered by comprehensive automobile insurance, the client had no actual out-of-pocket amount to pay in order to compensate for the damage, and therefore had no motive whatsoever to flee at the risk of criminal punishment.
The Anyang Criminal Attorney Argued That the Client Had No Intent in Leaving the Scene
After the accident occurred, the other party's vehicle sounded its horn, so the client looked at it, but the other vehicle stopped briefly and then continued on.
