Chuncheon Attorney Consultation Case | Through a Chuncheon attorney consultation, the client charged with drunk driving (DUI) without a license protected against an immediate custodial sentence

Driving under the influence without a license is regarded as a serious traffic crime and is punishable, under the law, by imprisonment of up to 1 year or a fine of up to 3 million won.

In particular, when a person commits driving under the influence without a license after the license has been revoked due to drunk driving, the scope of punishment increases further, and the likelihood of an actual custodial sentence becomes greater.

In the case of drunk driving, the level of punishment varies depending on the blood alcohol concentration, so a response based on a legal review of this matter is of the utmost importance.

Through a consultation with a Chuncheon attorney, the client explained the difficult circumstances he was facing.

The client is currently supporting an ill wife and a child.

Working day and night to cover their medical expenses and the family's living costs, the client felt a heavy financial and emotional burden.

As a result, the client came to suffer from depression and sleep disorders, but unable to confide in anyone, he would drink alone to forget the immediate pain.

Through a consultation with a Chuncheon attorney, the client explained the circumstances that left him with no choice but to become dependent on alcohol.

Through a consultation with a Chuncheon attorney, the client argued that he sincerely regretted his wrongdoing and was reflecting on his conduct.

The client recognized that the extreme stress of having to provide for his ill wife and children had manifested in the wrongful act of driving under the influence without a license, and that this could not be excused by any pretext.

Through a consultation with a Chuncheon attorney, the client emphasized that he deeply regretted and repented his wrongdoing of violating the law through a foolish decision.

The client is receiving treatment to stop drinking at an addiction management center, a hospital, and other facilities in order to give up the alcohol that was the cause of the incident.

In addition, the client disposed of his vehicle, resolving never to drive again.

Through a consultation with a Chuncheon attorney, the client submitted as evidence a letter of reflection, a treatment confirmation document, and a certificate proving the deregistration of the vehicle.

Through a consultation with a Chuncheon attorney, the client argued that a settlement had been reached with the victim who had been involved in the accident caused by this case.

After this incident occurred, the client contacted the victim and sincerely apologized.

Having received the client's sincere apology, the victim prepared a settlement statement indicating that the victim did not wish for the defendant to be punished.

Through a consultation with a Chuncheon attorney, the client requested that the amicable settlement with the victim be taken into account in sentencing.

Over the past five years, half of the victims who died in hit-and-run traffic accidents were killed by drivers who were intoxicated or driving without a license, and as a result, more severe punishment is anticipated.

If you are involved in charges of unlicensed drunk driving, it is best to respond by preparing the sentencing factors as thoroughly as possible through a consultation with an attorney.
