[First-Time Drug Offender Suspended Sentence Defense Case] First-Time Drug Offender Client Avoids an Actual Sentence Despite Multiple Charges

The reason the first-time drug offender client urgently came to Daeryun was that the client was charged with forging and altering prescriptions for psychotropic drugs and administering them.

The first-time drug offender client was ultimately brought to trial. Drug crimes carry a high potential for social condemnation, and courts impose heavy punishments for them, so caution is required.

As a first-time offender, the client requested Daeryun's assistance in responding to the drug crime trial.

Through a careful consultation with the client, Daeryun Law Firm formed a specialist attorney team made up of multiple experts with extensive experience in first-time drug offender cases.

The Daeryun specialist attorney team emphasized that, even after the trial in this case, the defendant was repenting and reflecting on his wrongdoing.

The team also emphasized that the people around the defendant were petitioning for leniency for him, and argued that leniency be extended to the first-time drug offender defendant.

■ The defendant was repenting and reflecting on his wrongdoing

■ The defendant had no prior convictions for the same type of offense

■ It was confirmed that the defendant purchased and administered the drug due to an obsession with his physique

■ The defendant's case was different from those of other drug offenders

The court accepted the arguments of the Daeryun Law Firm specialist attorney and ruled, "The defendant is sentenced to 2 years of imprisonment. However, execution of the above sentence is suspended for 4 years from the date this judgment becomes final."

Although the client in this case was a first-time drug offender, the method and seriousness of the offense, which included altering and using a prescription to purchase a controlled substance, were poor.

With Daeryun's assistance, however, the team emphasized the sentencing factors favorable to the client, and as a result the client was able to avoid detention in court.

Daeryun Law Firm operates a Drug Response Group, in which a drug defense team of 3 to 20 members handles clients' cases.

Because detention is more likely in drug cases, the assistance of attorneys who have handled many such cases can be helpful.

At Daeryun, a team can be assembled to provide efficient legal analysis and response.

If you are under investigation or on trial as a drug offender, you may consult Daeryun's Drug Response Group. The team can work to guide the investigation or trial in a direction favorable to the client and to resolve the matter promptly.
