1. The Client Who Visited the Cheonan Law Office
The client, who requested help from a Cheonan law office, was facing a police investigation on charges of embezzlement and larceny.
The client requested help from a Cheonan law office regarding charges that the client felt were deeply unjust.
A Cheonan attorney took on the assistance of the client's case.
Cheonan Law Office: Understanding the Circumstances of the Client's Case
The client who visited the Cheonan law office was a home-visit care worker.
The client had been charged by the guardian of the care recipient with embezzlement and larceny.
These guardians claimed that the client had taken money from the care recipient's bankbook and had stolen the care recipient's necklace from the home.
The client maintained that this was entirely untrue and wished to respond to the injustice.

2. Cheonan Law Office: Assistance for the Client
The Cheonan attorney's office identified the facts through a detailed consultation and proceeded to defend the client.
Cheonan Law Office: Pointing Out the Credibility Issues in the Recipient's Statement
The Cheonan law office raised a question about the fact that the statement regarding the allegation came from the recipient of the client's care, an elderly person in his eighties suffering from dementia.
The care recipient was a patient suffering from dementia who tended to exaggerate and insist on things that had not occurred.
In fact, the care recipient claimed that the client had stolen his necklace, yet was unable to describe specifically which necklace it was.
In addition, all of the care recipient's bankbooks were kept in a safe in the house.
Given that the care recipient himself did not properly remember the password to the safe, it is difficult to conclude that the client found out the bankbook password, took the bankbooks from the safe, and embezzled the money.
The Cheonan law office pointed out the care recipient's impaired mental state and argued that the credibility of the statement was very low.
Cheonan Law Office: Argument for an Investigation of the CCTV Footage
Three CCTV cameras were installed inside the recipient's home.
The Cheonan attorney requested that the CCTV footage be obtained or seized and verified.
The Cheonan attorney emphasized that the client did not even know of the existence of the necklace at issue in this case or the password to the safe containing the bankbook, and therefore could not have stolen them.
The Cheonan attorney requested a no-referral decision for the client, on the ground that the complaint in this case was nothing more than a one-sided false claim by the complainant.
3. Result of the Cheonan Law Office's Assistance: A No-Referral Decision
With the assistance of the Cheonan law office, the client was able to receive a no-referral decision on the charges of embezzlement and larceny.
The client said, "I felt helpless about how to respond to truly unjust charges. Thanks to the Cheonan attorney, I was able to bring the case to a swift conclusion."
