If you face punishment for a drug offense, which is classified as a serious crime, you should prepare a more detailed strategy.

It is therefore advantageous to prepare a careful early-response plan together with a criminal specialist attorney.

The Daeryun Law Firm Gangnam criminal specialist attorney emphasized that the client was a first-time offender with no prior record and that the client had no awareness whatsoever that the conduct was criminal.

In addition, the Gangnam criminal specialist attorney also argued that the client deeply regretted this case and was showing a determination not to reoffend, and requested leniency.

In oral argument, the Gangnam criminal specialist attorney emphasized that the client introduced a seller to a friend who wanted to buy drugs and received a one-time referral fee of about 50,000 won, but that this was not a profit-driven act.

The attorney also emphasized that the client neither directly purchased nor sold drugs and did not use them at all, and requested that the client be spared an actual prison sentence.
