1. The Client's Situation

Jeju Law Firm


The client, while searching for a law firm to assist in resolving the case promptly, came to Daeryun's Jeju office and requested a thorough consultation.

How the Client Came to the Jeju Law Firm

The detailed account of the client who requested help from the Jeju law firm is as follows.

The client, a bus driver, found a laptop that a fellow bus driver had been keeping.

The client, although aware that the laptop was a lost item, did not register it in the lost-and-found management log.

Acting on a momentary impulse of greed, the client kept the laptop in his desk drawer and ultimately put it in his bag, took it home, and stole it.

🔗Larceny is a property crime, but it is also treated as a serious crime, and the courts punish it severely.

In order to reduce the sentence for larceny as much as possible through the assistance of a criminal attorney with extensive practical experience and expertise, the client came to the Jeju law firm.

2. The Laws Related to the Case Explained by the Jeju Law Firm

The client who requested assistance from the Jeju law firm was booked on a charge of larceny.

The Jeju Law Firm's Answers to Questions Related to the Case


Q. Attorney at the Jeju law firm, what is special theft?

A. Special theft refers to the crime of stealing another person's property at night by destroying part of a door or wall and intruding into a residence, by carrying a dangerous weapon, or by two or more persons acting jointly.

3. The Jeju Law Firm's Assistance

The Jeju law firm established a step-by-step response based on the precedents and laws related to the case, and argued the following while appealing for leniency for the client.

The Jeju Law Firm's Argument ① Deep Remorse

The client fully admits to having stolen the item without overcoming a momentary greed, and is deeply remorseful.

In order to be punished as much as he had done wrong and to atone, the client turned himself in.

The firm emphasized that, along with a resolution never to repeat the same wrongdoing, the client had written a letter of apology.

The Jeju Law Firm's Argument ② Recovery of the Damage

The client returned the stolen item to the victim as it was.

The firm emphasized that the client conveyed a sincere apology to the victim, who must have suffered great inconvenience because of his offense, and made efforts to recover the victim's loss.

The Jeju Law Firm's Argument ③ A Spontaneous Offense

The client committed this offense impulsively due to a financially difficult situation.

It was an item that he could not easily obtain in his everyday life, which is why he felt greed for it.

The firm emphasized that this case was not a meticulously planned offense but one carried out spontaneously without careful thought.

4. The Court's Decision on the Jeju Law Firm's Arguments

The court, accepting the Jeju law firm's arguments, imposed a relatively light fine on the client.

In response, the client conveyed deep thanks to the Jeju law firm.
