[Jeju Drug Defense Attorney Defense Case] Jeju Drug Defense Attorney's Assistance Leads to Closure Without Indictment

The client who came to the Jeju drug defense attorney suddenly became the subject of a prosecution investigation over a matter he had forgotten about.

The following is a case that concluded with non-prosecution through the assistance of the Jeju drug defense attorney of Daeryun Law Firm.

1. The Story of the Client Who Came to the Jeju Drug Defense Attorney

The client who came to the Jeju drug defense attorney is an ordinary citizen who runs his own business.

While intoxicated, the client attempted a purchase on the spur of the moment and even transferred money.

As soon as the seller received the money, the seller disappeared. The client, who had thought it was not actually possible to purchase cannabis, soon forgot about the matter.

About a year later, however, the client received a notice from the prosecution to appear for an investigation, and, filled with fear, he came to the Jeju drug defense attorney of Daeryun Law Firm.
