1. The Client Who Received a Gunsan Attorney Referral

Gunsan Attorney Referral

The client who received a Gunsan attorney referral had been wrongly implicated in a charge of forging a private document.

The client asked a Gunsan attorney for help.

Forgery of a Private Document Explained by a Gunsan Attorney

The crime of forging a private document refers to the act of 🔗forging or altering a document in which a person without legitimate authority creates a private document without the consent or knowledge of another.

It may apply to official documents such as contracts, checks, statements, seals, and registered seals, as well as to personal documents.

In the case of forgery of a private document, regardless of whether the contents are true, if circumstances of forgery or alteration come to light, intent may be recognized and one may be punished. For this reason, it is necessary to devise a method of responding to punishment.

If the crime of forging a private document is recognized, one is punished under the Criminal Act by imprisonment for not more than 5 years or a fine not exceeding 10 million won.

2. Strategy for the Client Who Received a Gunsan Attorney Referral

We took up the defense of the client who received a Gunsan attorney referral.

Gunsan Attorney Referral Strategy 1. Arguing That There Was No Intentional Intent

The client who received a Gunsan attorney referral is an insurance planner.

In the course of concluding an insurance contract with the victim, there was a contract document that had been omitted.

The client informed the victim that a signature on an additional document was required, but the victim asked the client to sign on the victim’s behalf.

Although the client said several times that he could not do so, the victim went so far as to say, “What does it matter if I consent? I will take responsibility.”

Accordingly, the client who received a Gunsan attorney referral signed on the victim’s behalf with the mutual consent of the victim.

However, the victim suddenly reported the client for forgery and use of a private document.

The Gunsan attorney submitted, as evidence, a recording of the telephone call containing this content.

Gunsan Attorney Referral Strategy 2. Arguing That the Client Gained No Benefit

For the client who received a Gunsan attorney referral, Daeryun argued that the client gained no benefit from the act in question.

The client merely concluded a contract that had already been agreed upon with the victim, and the client gained no additional benefit from the forgery in question.

The Daeryun Gunsan attorney emphasized that the crime of document forgery refers to the purpose of using an altered document as though it were a genuine document, which differs from the client’s intent.

The Gunsan attorney emphasized that the crime of altering a private document is committed when a person without authority makes a change to the contents of a document, creating new probative force and giving rise to the risk of harming public credibility.

3. The Client Who Received a Gunsan Attorney Referral Successfully Closes the Preliminary Inquiry

With the Gunsan attorney’s assistance, the client received a disposition of no suspicion of crime and succeeded in closing the preliminary inquiry.

The investigative agency determined that, while the contract document confirmed to have been sealed by the complainant was acknowledged, in light of the telephone recording containing the relevant content and the fact that the complainant had paid the insurance premiums, there was implied consent.

The client said, “I was truly afraid that I would be punished on a wrongful charge. With the help of the Gunsan attorney, I was able to clear up the injustice.”

If You Are Considering a Gunsan Attorney Referral

Like the client in the case above, if you are accused of forging a private document, it is recommended to obtain a legal review of whether you had authority to prepare the document and whether the requirements for a document are met.

It is best to confirm whether the crime is established with a focus on this issue and to respond in a manner tailored to the situation.
