[Pohang Drunk Driving Attorney Assistance Case] With the Help of a Pohang Drunk Driving Attorney, a Suspended Sentence Judgment for Drunk Driving

The client who requested assistance from the Pohang drunk driving attorney drove with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.137% while driving under the influence without a license.

While driving, the client struck the victim's parked vehicle and caused an accident.

In response, the client pursued an appeal in order to escape the risk of an actual prison sentence with the help of the Pohang drunk driving attorney.
