Attorney Telephone Consultation | Client Who Requested a Telephone Consultation for Assault Harm, Attorney Brings About a Settlement

The client who requested an attorney telephone consultation was in a situation where they had suffered harm from assault. The criminal law attorney represented the client's criminal complaint, brought about an amicable settlement, and succeeded in obtaining a settlement payment.

1. Attorney Telephone Consultation, the Client's Account

The account of the client who requested an attorney telephone consultation is as follows.

Background of the Case

The client, an employee working at a restaurant, had frequent friction with a fellow worker, Employee A (hereinafter the "suspect"), with whom the client usually worked.

On the day of the incident, the restaurant's proprietor gathered the client and the suspect together, telling them to "clear up the misunderstanding and get along," and arranged a drinking gathering.

Out of consideration for the restaurant proprietor's standing, the client attended the drinking gathering and began conversing with the suspect.

In the course of this, the client said to the suspect, "Let us forget everything that has happened and get along well," expressing an intent to reconcile, and extended a hand to offer a handshake.

However, the suspect suddenly struck the client's face and committed assault, and as a result the client sustained serious injuries, including a fractured cheekbone and nasal bone.

Accordingly, the client came to request assistance from a criminal law attorney at Daeryun Law Firm, through an attorney telephone consultation, regarding the representation of a criminal complaint and a settlement approach.

Attorney Phone Consultation, Assistance from a Criminal Defense Attorney

1) Securing Evidence to Prove the Extent of the Harm

The criminal defense attorney obtained the client's hospital medical certificate, the specialist's medical opinion, and similar records to emphasize that the client had sustained serious injuries to the cheekbone and nasal bone, and argued that this was a serious assault case.

In addition, the attorney established through psychiatric treatment records that the client was experiencing considerable psychological shock and symptoms of social avoidance resulting from the facial injuries, and on this basis demonstrated that both the physical harm and the psychological harm were substantial.

2) Assessing the Scope of Loss and Establishing Settlement Criteria

The criminal defense attorney comprehensively reviewed the prospect of future treatment for the fracture, loss of income during recovery, and emotional harm, and systematically organized the scope of the loss.

Through this process, the attorney assisted the client so that an objective settlement amount commensurate with the extent of the harm could be calculated.

3) Coordinating the Settlement and Handling the Procedure on the Client's Behalf

The criminal defense attorney communicated with the suspect's side on the client's behalf and took full charge of the settlement process.

In doing so, the attorney coordinated the specific settlement terms and organized the wording of the settlement agreement, thereby concluding the procedure in a manner that left no room for future disputes.

Attorney Phone Consultation, Successful Settlement Coordination Through the Assistance of a Criminal Defense Attorney

With the help of a criminal defense attorney, the client who requested assistance through an attorney phone consultation was able to reach an amicable settlement with the suspect.

The negotiation proceeded on the basis of objective evidence, and a settlement amount consistent with the criteria presented by the client was paid.

Accordingly, the client submitted a statement of no desire for punishment, and the case was concluded amicably.

2. Attorney Phone Consultation, What Matters During a Consultation

Cost of an Attorney Phone Consultation

When seeking to reach a settlement through an attorney phone consultation, it is necessary to objectively organize the extent of the harm and, on that basis, to present an appropriate settlement amount and to review the response strategy so that an amicable negotiation can be achieved.

Because simple assault is a crime that cannot be punished against the victim's will, no punishment may be imposed if the victim expresses an intention not to seek punishment.

Cost of an Attorney Phone Consultation

The cost of an attorney phone consultation may vary depending on the circumstances of the case, the extent of the injury, and the chosen response strategy, so it is difficult to provide a uniform figure.

Therefore, during the consultation it is important to accurately organize the facts of the case and to consider in advance the intention to settle and whether to submit a statement of no desire for punishment.

In addition, it is necessary to objectively organize the scope of the harm in order to establish the basis for negotiation.

Category

Factors Considered When Calculating the Settlement Amount

Treatment Costs and Future Treatment

Not only current treatment costs but also the possibility of additional treatment, and the presence of scarring or aftereffects, must be considered together.

Loss of Income

If there was a period during which the victim could not work due to treatment, the corresponding loss must be reflected.

Psychological Harm

Psychological suffering, such as disfigurement and symptoms of anxiety, may also be included in the calculation of consolation money.

3. Attorney Phone Consultation, If You Need the Assistance of a Criminal Defense Attorney

An attorney phone consultation has the advantage of allowing the direction of a case to be organized quickly, without constraints of time or place.

Advantages of an Attorney Phone Consultation

1) You Can Quickly Assess the Direction of a Case Without an In-Person Visit

Through a phone consultation, you can receive an initial assessment of whether the current situation has reached the stage requiring a criminal complaint or whether it is a matter to be organized around a settlement.

Daeryun Law Firm reviews the basic details of the case before the consultation and conducts the consultation centered on a response strategy suited to the matter, rather than offering mere general guidance.

2) You Can Reduce Unnecessary Time and Burden in the Initial Response

In assault cases, responding emotionally can make negotiation difficult.

Organizing matters such as the possibility of settlement, whether to submit a statement of no desire for punishment, and the materials to be prepared through an attorney phone consultation helps to reduce unnecessary procedures.

3) You Can Receive Guidance on the Next Steps Suited to the Nature of the Case

Following an attorney phone consultation, the matter may lead to an additional consultation with an attorney dedicated to criminal cases, depending on the situation.

Because the next steps, such as whether to proceed with a settlement, the complaint procedure, and the documents to prepare, are organized, a more systematic response becomes possible.

If You Receive the Assistance of a Criminal Defense Attorney

If you receive the assistance of a criminal defense attorney through an attorney phone consultation, you can obtain help in objectively organizing the circumstances of the case and the details of the harm, and in establishing the criteria for a settlement.

In addition, the attorney can review the legal issues that may arise during the negotiation process with the suspect and organize the procedure.

If necessary, the attorney handles communication and settlement coordination on the client's behalf, so that the response is carried out in a way that reduces the client's burden, and through this the case can be resolved more stably.

In addition, where a criminal complaint is necessary for the assault harm, the criminal defense attorney provides support throughout the entire process, from the stage of drafting the complaint to organizing the evidence, setting the direction of the statement, and responding to the investigative authorities.

The attorney carefully reviews the possibility of punishing the perpetrator, coordinates the strategy according to whether a settlement is reached, and provides assistance so that the rights and interests of the victim are fully reflected.
