[Pyeongtaek Criminal Litigation Attorney Assistance Case] Successful Defense of a Drunk Driving Criminal Case Through the Assistance of Daeryun's Pyeongtaek Criminal Litigation Attorney

The client who came to the Pyeongtaek criminal litigation attorney had been caught in a drunk driving crackdown and needed to mount a defense in a criminal case for a violation of the Road Traffic Act.

The client was an upstanding man in his thirties who worked in the parcel delivery business.

Having lost his father at an early age, he was solely caring for his mother, who was in poor health, and was responsible for the family's livelihood.

On the day of the incident, there had been a company dinner. After drinks at the dinner, he called a designated driver service to get home, but no driver was available even after a long wait.

Worried about his mother, who was home alone, the client thought he had sobered up enough and ended up taking the wheel.

Caught in a police drunk driving crackdown, the client came to Daeryun's Pyeongtaek criminal litigation attorney to mount a defense in the criminal case.
