1. The circumstances of the case that brought the client to the Gangneung narcotics attorney
The client who came to the Gangneung narcotics attorney was facing the risk of punishment on a charge of violation of the Narcotics Control Act.
The client stated that, due to complications and depression following childbirth, she could not fall asleep without sleeping pills.
As the period of taking sleeping pills grew longer, she could no longer fall asleep on the same dosage, and her dosage gradually increased.
She tried to obtain a larger prescription of sleeping pills at the hospital she usually attended, but the doctor answered that he could not do so.
This was because the sleeping pills the client was taking contained zolpidem, a psychotropic substance.
As the days on which she could not fall asleep increased, the client, unable to bear it, used another person's resident registration number to obtain a prescription for sleeping pills at a different hospital.
This was unmistakably a criminal act.
The client's conduct continued and was ultimately detected.
Facing the risk of an actual custodial sentence such as imprisonment with labor on this charge, the client requested a defense against an actual custodial sentence from the Gangneung narcotics attorney at Daeryun Law Firm.

2. The Gangneung narcotics attorney's strategy for defending against punishment
Daeryun Law Firm's Gangneung narcotics attorney first formed a handling team dedicated solely to the client's case, consisting of 3 to 20 specialist attorneys with extensive experience in cases similar to the client's, and proceeded with the case.
After closely analyzing the client's case, Daeryun's Gangneung narcotics attorney handling team defended against the client's punishment through the following arguments.
▶ The client fully admits the facts of the offense and is deeply remorseful
▶ The client had been suffering severe distress from insomnia for a long period
▶ The client is currently in a physically and mentally unstable state
▶ She obtained the prescription entirely for her own use, not for the purpose of selling to others
3. Daeryun's Gangneung narcotics attorney who defended against an immediate custodial sentence
The court accepted all of the arguments of Daeryun's Gangneung narcotics attorney handling team and sentenced the client to a suspended sentence.
As a result, the client was able to avoid the risk of an actual custodial sentence.
Psychotropic substances such as sleeping pills are easily accessible, but they can cause serious problems and can result in heavy punishment.
