1. How the Client Came to a Uijeongbu Drunk Driving Lawyer

The client who came to the Uijeongbu drunk driving lawyer faced the risk of license revocation due to drunk driving and sought to defend against it.

The client had consumed alcohol while driving but only a very small amount, and the client wanted the Uijeongbu drunk driving lawyer's defense to seek a license suspension rather than a license revocation.

The Client Who Requested Assistance From a Uijeongbu Drunk Driving Lawyer

The client who consulted the Uijeongbu drunk driving lawyer met with acquaintances, had one or two drinks at a bar at the acquaintances' urging, and drove home, but the client was not intoxicated at all,

The client parked in front of the house and began drinking more inside the home. After 40 to 50 minutes, a neighborhood resident reported the matter, the police came to the home and requested a breath test, and the client complied with the test at that time.

The blood alcohol concentration at that time came out at 0.19, a level falling within the punishment threshold.

Because the client had already consumed more alcohol at home, the client felt the situation was unfair and requested the help of a Daeryun Law Firm Uijeongbu drunk driving lawyer to respond.

2. Assistance Provided by the Uijeongbu Drunk Driving Lawyer

To prove that the client's drunk driving did not exceed the punishment threshold, the Uijeongbu drunk driving lawyer formed a team of three, including a lawyer experienced in drunk driving matters, and began preparing a written opinion.

The Uijeongbu Drunk Driving Lawyer Argues the Time of Driving

The Uijeongbu drunk driving lawyer argued that the suspect drank about 2 glasses at the bar until 23:30, and that the suspect drove his own vehicle home at around 00:00.

The lawyer further argued that the suspect drank more alcohol at home and that the breath test was conducted at around 00:57, about 1 hour apart from the time the suspect actually drove the vehicle, so that, because no breath test was conducted at the time of driving, an inaccurate measurement had been applied.

The Uijeongbu Drunk Driving Lawyer Argues the Widmark Formula

The Uijeongbu drunk driving lawyer argued that the blood alcohol concentration measurement of 0.19% was a measurement taken after the suspect returned home and drank more soju and beer,

and that, recognizing that the suspect had drunk more alcohol at home, a calculation using the Widmark formula would show that the blood alcohol concentration did not fall within the punishment threshold.

The Uijeongbu Drunk Driving Lawyer Argues That the Client Is Remorseful

The Uijeongbu drunk driving lawyer argued that, although the suspect did not drive while intoxicated beyond the punishment threshold,

the suspect was remorseful about having driven after drinking even a small amount of alcohol, regardless of the measurement. The lawyer also pledged that the suspect would never drive while intoxicated again and appealed for lenient treatment.

3. Result of the Uijeongbu Drunk Driving Lawyer's Assistance

The Uijeongbu drunk driving lawyer obtained a non-referral decision in this drunk driving case.

The client had driven after drinking a small amount of alcohol but received a non-referral decision because the conduct did not fall within the punishment threshold.

Although the client had a drunk driving conviction from about 10 years earlier, the matter was concluded within the investigative stage thanks to the assistance of the Uijeongbu drunk driving lawyer.

In drunk driving cases, the range of mitigation and aggravation of punishment is wide, so it may help to resolve the matter with the assistance of a Daeryun Law Firm Uijeongbu drunk driving lawyer who has extensive experience handling drunk driving cases.
