1. The Client's Situation

The client came to the Daegu office to respond thoroughly to the prosecutor's appeal in a drunk driving matter with the firm's help.
How the Client Came to the Daegu Law Firm
The account of the client, who consulted at the Daegu law firm, is as follows.
The client was sentenced to a fine by the court on a charge of driving a vehicle while intoxicated with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.145%.
The prosecutor then filed an appeal, emphasizing the client's past 🔗drunk driving penalties and the harm of drunk driving.
The prosecutor argued that there was a need to punish the client severely through a sentence of imprisonment rather than a fine.
On appeal, the law and evidence must be reviewed more closely than at first instance, and new arguments and rebuttals must be prepared, so the client determined that assistance was needed.
The client came to the Daegu law firm seeking the help of an attorney with extensive experience and know-how in drunk driving matters in order to have the prosecutor's appeal dismissed.
2. Statutes Relating to Drunk Driving Explained by the Daegu Law Firm
Unlike other traffic offenses, the harm and danger of drunk driving, where the intent is clear, have been emphasized countless times.
It has also been clearly established that most major traffic accidents and hit-and-run accidents stem from drunk driving, so the courts punish it severely.
If a person engages in drunk driving, the following standards apply for punishment.
▶ Blood alcohol concentration of 0.2% or higher: imprisonment for not less than 2 years and not more than 5 years, or a fine of not less than 10 million won and not more than 20 million won
▶ Blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher and below 0.2%: imprisonment for not less than 1 year and not more than 2 years, or a fine of not less than 5 million won and not more than 10 million won
▶ Blood alcohol concentration of 0.03% or higher and below 0.08%: imprisonment for not more than 1 year, or a fine of not more than 5 million won
▶ Refusal of a lawful breath test requested by a police officer: imprisonment for not less than 1 year and not more than 5 years, or a fine of not less than 5 million won and not more than 20 million won
🔗Curious about the level of punishment when you have a prior drunk driving record?
3. The Daegu Law Firm's Assistance
The Daegu law firm established a thorough response plan centered on the circumstances favorable and unfavorable to the client.
To have the prosecutor's appeal dismissed, it made the following arguments.
Daegu Law Firm Argument 1: Letter of Apology
From the time of the first breath test immediately after the incident, the client admitted his offense and cooperated faithfully with the police investigation.
It was emphasized that the client recognized that his conduct could have a negative effect on society, deeply repented, and submitted a letter of apology.
Daegu Law Firm Argument 2: No Risk of Reoffending
The client disposed of the vehicle involved in this case with the resolve to no longer drive at all.
Because the offense in this case occurred after drinking, it was emphasized that the client is making his own efforts, including firmly pledging abstinence through a written abstinence pledge, so that there is almost no risk of reoffending.
Daegu Law Firm Argument 3: The Family's Livelihood
The client has minor children and family members whom he must support.
It was emphasized that if the client were to receive a severe punishment and lose his job, serious hardship could arise not only for the client but also for the livelihood of his family.
4. The Court's Decision on the Daegu Law Firm's Arguments
The court accepted the Daegu law firm's arguments and issued a decision that 'the prosecutor's appeal is dismissed.'
The client then expressed deep thanks to the Daegu law firm.
