1. The Story of the Client Who Came to the Jeju Drug Defense Attorney

The client who came to the Jeju drug defense attorney is an ordinary citizen who runs his own business.

About a year earlier, the client watched and discussed a news report related to drugs with friends at a drinking gathering.

The client became interested in the report, searched for “cannabis” on a search website, and reportedly found several sellers claiming to sell cannabis.

While intoxicated, the client attempted a purchase on the spur of the moment and even transferred money.

As soon as the seller received the money, the seller disappeared. The client, who had thought it was not actually possible to purchase cannabis, soon forgot about the matter.

About a year later, however, the client received a notice from the prosecution to appear for an investigation, and, filled with fear, he came to the Jeju drug defense attorney of Daeryun Law Firm.
