1. The Client Who Received a Changwon Attorney Recommendation
This is the account of the client who received a Changwon attorney recommendation.
While drinking with friends at a bar in downtown Changwon, the client got into a minor argument with the victim, who was at the next table.
Their argument grew increasingly heated, and the client, unable to contain a momentary anger, shoved the victim's shoulder.
In the course of this, the victim lost balance and fell, striking his head and other parts on the table, and suffered injuries to his head and arm.
The Offense of Assault, Explained by a Changwon Attorney
🔗Assault is an offense committed through the exercise of physical force against a person's body.
Assault may be recognized even without physical contact such as striking.
This is because simple assault is not limited to physically applying force to the body, and conduct that imposes a physical threat on the other party or restricts the freedom of the body is also viewed as assault.
Supreme Court precedents have recognized as assault such conduct as repeatedly uttering insults or abusive language several times, or approaching the victim and brandishing or throwing one's hands, feet, or objects as if to strike while cursing.
If assault is committed, a person may be punished by imprisonment for not more than two years, a fine not exceeding 5 million won, detention, or a minor fine.
Precedents Relating to the Offense of Assault
∙Threatening with a vehicle, assault recognized
If the defendant repeatedly advanced his car little by little as if to hit the victim, who was standing in front of and blocking the car, although he did not actually hit the victim, this was held to constitute assault as an unlawful exercise of physical force against the victim.
∙A motion as if to strike, assault recognized
Approaching the victim and brandishing or throwing one's hands, feet, or objects as if to strike while cursing was held to amount to assault as an unlawful exercise of physical force against the victim, even without direct physical contact.

3. The Client Receives a Decision to Suspend Sentencing
The client received a decision to suspend sentencing and brought the matter to a successful conclusion.
For the offense of assault, the level of punishment varies depending on the degree of the assault, the relationship with the victim, the circumstances of the offense, and any prior record, so responding with the help of an experienced attorney can be helpful.
This is because minor assault may be punished by imprisonment of up to two years or a fine of up to five million won, whereas assault accompanied by bodily injury may be punished by imprisonment of up to seven years or a fine of up to ten million won.
