1. The Client Who Came to the Yongsan Criminal Defense Attorney
The client who came to the Yongsan criminal attorney had found a dropped earring and picked it up in order to return it to its owner, but was reported for larceny, and so urgently visited the Yongsan office.
How the Client Came to the Yongsan Criminal Defense Attorney
This is the story of a client who consulted with a Yongsan criminal attorney.
On the day of the incident, the client was exercising at the gym inside an apartment complex.
While leaving after the workout, the client found an earring in the hallway.
Intending to return it to its owner, the client picked up the earring and then hurried to a scheduled appointment.
As a result, the client briefly forgot about having picked up the earring.
Only the next day did the client remember finding the earring and planned to report the found item at the nearest police box.
However, the client had already been reported on a charge of larceny, and while facing a police investigation, the client requested assistance from a criminal attorney at the Yongsan office.

The Yongsan criminal defense attorney emphasized that it was difficult to find any intent to commit theft in the client's conduct.
The Yongsan Criminal Defense Attorney Argued That the Earrings Had Been Returned Immediately
The client emphasized that he had merely forgotten for a moment, because he was busy, that he had picked up the earrings, and that he had intended to hand them over to the police station the next day.
