[Ulsan Criminal Attorney Assistance] Ulsan Criminal Attorney Obtained a “Non-Prosecution” Result for a Client Charged With Assault Resulting in Injury

The client in this case was playing darts with his spouse at a bar.

During that time, a member of a group at another table approached his spouse and repeatedly stroked the spouse's arm.

This led the client to get into an argument with the other person.

Still unable to calm his anger, the client physically shoved the victim, who was leaving the bar, causing him to collide with the entrance door.

As a result, the victim sustained a concussion and a nasal fracture, constituting bodily injury.

Because the degree of injury the victim sustained was serious, the client was placed in a situation where it was difficult to avoid an actual custodial sentence.

Seeking to avoid an actual custodial sentence, the client requested the help of the Ulsan criminal attorney.
