1. The Client Who Needed a Defense Against Drunk Driving Punishment
The client, who had a drunk driving record, came to Daeryun out of concern that an actual custodial sentence would be imposed as a drunk driving punishment.
Although the situation was unfavorable in light of the drunk driving punishment, Daeryun's drunk driving attorney worked thoroughly together with the client to defend against the punishment and obtain leniency.
The Reason for Being Subject to Drunk Driving Punishment
The client already had two prior drunk driving records.
However, with a momentary complacent thought that ‘it is a short distance, so it should be fine,’ he took the wheel for about 500m and was caught in a drunk driving enforcement check.
Because less than 10 years had passed since the date on which the client's last drunk driving judgment became final, it was difficult to avoid a drunk driving punishment amounting to an actual custodial sentence, such as imprisonment.
Because it was a repeated drunk driving offense, the likelihood that an actual custodial sentence would be imposed as punishment was very high, and the client came to Daeryun Law Firm carrying his worries.
2. Statutes Related to Drunk Driving Punishment
In the case of a repeat offense within 10 years : If a drunk driver who has been sentenced to a fine or heavier and whose sentence has become final commits another drunk driving offense within 10 years (including a person whose sentence has been invalidated), a drunk driving punishment is imposed according to the classification in the following subparagraphs.
Where the Police Request for a Breath Test Was Refused
- Imprisonment for at least 1 year and up to 6 years, or
a fine of at least 5 million won and up to 30 million won
- Revocation of the driver's license, followed by a 2-year prohibition on obtaining a license

a fine of at least 5 million won and up to 20 million won

3. Daeryun's Strategy for Defending Against Drunk Driving Punishment
Even where drunk driving is a first offense and a minor case, a heavy fine, suspension or revocation of the license, and even imprisonment may be imposed.
In addition, in the case of repeated drunk driving, the drunk driving punishment can be further aggravated.
Daeryun Law Firm's drunk driving attorney prepared a careful defense to defend against the client's drunk driving punishment.
The Point That He Acknowledged the Drunk Driving and Showed Repentance
The client acknowledged and repented of his wrongdoing and requested leniency regarding the drunk driving punishment.
He also showed an attitude of deep remorse and appealed his resolve not to commit a drunk driving offense again.
Daeryun Law Firm therefore provided assistance to emphasize this point so that the client could receive the maximum consideration and avoid punishment.
The Point That There Was No Record of Being Punished Beyond a Fine in Prior Drunk Driving Punishments
The client had no record of being punished beyond a fine in his prior drunk driving punishment history.
In addition, at the time of the drunk driving, his blood alcohol concentration was below 0.2%, a relatively low level, and the driving distance was also short, at about 500m.
Daeryun's drunk driving attorney closely analyzed the circumstances at the time and presented a defense so that they could be used effectively at trial.
4. Successful Defense Against Drunk Driving Punishment, Suspended Sentence Pronounced
Because the result of a drunk driving punishment can vary depending on how the case is handled, the assistance of a drunk driving attorney can be critical.
With the help of Daeryun's drunk driving attorney, the client was able to conclude with a suspended sentence despite the unfavorable situation regarding the drunk driving punishment.
This was the result of responding with know-how built up through Daeryun Law Firm's accumulated drunk driving case experience.
