1. The client who came to the Jinju Law Office

The client who came to the Jinju Law Office requested a legal consultation from a Jinju attorney in order to defend against punishment, having become involved in an assault case.

How the client came to the Jinju Law Office

This is the story of a client who held a consultation with a Jinju attorney at the Jinju Law Office.

The client and the victim were husband and wife.

On the day of the incident, the victim, without any reason, demanded a divorce and said she would leave the house.

The client, who found this utterly absurd, strongly refused, saying that there could be no divorce.

The victim then assaulted the client, including by kicking him in the stomach.

In the end, the client accused the victim of 🔗assault, and the victim responded with a counter-accusation.

Feeling that this was unfair, the client came to the Jinju Law Office and requested a legal consultation from a Jinju attorney, stating that he had never committed assault.

The statutes relating to the case as explained by the Jinju Law Office

Criminal Act Article 257 (Infliction of Bodily Injury, Bodily Injury to a Lineal Ascendant)

② A person who commits the crime under paragraph (1) against his or her own or his or her spouse's lineal ascendant shall be punished by imprisonment with labor for not more than 10 years or a fine not exceeding 15 million won.
③ An attempt to commit the crime under the preceding two paragraphs shall be punished.

Criminal Act Article 260 (Assault, Assault against a Lineal Ascendant)

② A person who commits the crime under paragraph (1) against his or her own or his or her spouse's lineal ascendant shall be punished by imprisonment with labor for not more than 5 years or a fine not exceeding 7 million won.
③ The crimes under paragraphs (1) and (2) may not be prosecuted against the express will of the victim.

2. Assistance provided by the Jinju Law Office

After conducting a legal consultation with the client, the Jinju Law Office grasped the circumstances of the case in detail.

The Jinju Law Office emphasized that the client was not the perpetrator but the victim, and put forward the following arguments.

The first assistance of the Jinju Law Office

On the contrary, the client had been habitually assaulted by the victim in this case.

Accordingly, the Jinju Law Office argued that the client had been diagnosed with bodily injury requiring three weeks of treatment, with conditions such as a shoulder contusion and a contusion of the back of the head.

The second assistance of the Jinju Law Office

The client emphasized that he was receiving hospital treatment as a result of this incident.

He also argued that he was concurrently undergoing counseling treatment in psychiatry, and that he was not the perpetrator but the victim in this case.

The third assistance of the Jinju Law Office

The client filed a criminal accusation against the victim.

In response, the victim, who was investigated, argued that she had filed the accusation in this case in order to create a situation favorable to herself.

3. A no-prosecution decision with the help of the Jinju Law Office

With the help of the Jinju Law Office, the client was able to receive a no-prosecution decision in this case.

As this shows, if you are involved in the crime of assault, it is important to gather sentencing materials and establish a response strategy suited to them.

The criminal group of the Daeryun Law Firm establishes a tailored strategy for responding to the investigation and presents response measures suited to the client's situation, such as organizing the direction of the client's statements.
