1. The Client Who Came Over an Intimidation Complaint
This is a case in which the client who came regarding an intimidation complaint was at risk of heavy punishment for special intimidation after being sued for special intimidation, but received a relatively light fine through systematic legal assistance.
The Client Who Requested Counsel on Special Intimidation Punishment
The detailed account of the client who came regarding a complaint for the crime of intimidation is as follows.
The client, who lives in an apartment, had repeatedly experienced conflict with the upstairs household over inter-floor noise.
In the early morning hours, when the upstairs household played loud music, the client gave a warning by contacting them through the intercom.
However, a few days later the same situation recurred, and the client, unable to bear it, went to the victim's home holding a kitchen knife and engaged in threatening conduct.
As a result, the client came to face punishment for the crime of special (aggravated) intimidation.
The client visited Daeryun to work with a specialized attorney who had handled numerous 🔗crime of intimidation cases, in order to reduce the sentence for the special (aggravated) intimidation as much as possible.

3. Case Resolution Strategy for an Intimidation Complaint
The criminal attorney, who had handled numerous threat complaint cases, formed an expert task force and established a systematic strategy.
To reduce the sentence for special (aggravated) intimidation as much as possible, the following arguments were made.
Special Intimidation Punishment Response (1): Arguing the Absence of Any Intent to Harm the Victim
The client recognizes that the client's conduct was wrong and is deeply reflecting, and at the time had no intention whatsoever of harming the victim with a weapon.
The criminal attorney specifically explained the circumstances showing that the client had protested several times before about the noise problem but, as it was not improved, came to commit this offense impulsively.
In addition, the attorney emphasized that, although the client possessed a weapon, it did not actually lead to its use or to any active harmful act.
Special Intimidation Punishment Response (2): Arguing That an Amicable Settlement Was Reached With the Victim
Immediately after the incident, the client visited the victim in person to sincerely apologize and convey his contrition.
The criminal attorney arranged communication with the victim so that an amicable settlement could be reached, and actively assisted throughout the settlement process.
As a result, the attorney emphasized that the victim forgave the client's wrongdoing and prepared a settlement agreement stating that the victim did not want punishment.
