2. The Daeryun Jinju drug attorney that formed a handling team to provide assistance

The Daeryun Law Firm Jinju drug attorney first formed a handling team of 3 to 20 specialist attorneys with extensive experience in cases similar to the client's and began providing assistance.

The Daeryun Jinju drug attorney handling team closely reviewed the client's case and, through the following arguments, requested that the court grant the greatest possible leniency.

▶ The client was suffering from depression due to the shock following the death of a family member

▶ The client has a young child requiring care

▶ The client's family earnestly hopes for leniency for the client

▶ To prevent reoffending, the client is receiving counseling and treatment

▶ Since the offense was discovered, the client has not attempted to use any drug even once

3. A suspended sentence with the assistance of a Daeryun Jinju drug attorney

The court, accepting all of the arguments of the Daeryun Law Firm Jinju drug attorney handling team, sentenced the client to a suspended sentence.

The client expressed their gratitude, saying that without the Daeryun Jinju drug attorney handling team, they would have felt completely lost as to what to do.

In cases of narcotic use, severe punishment is imposed, and when a person is caught at the scene of use, as the client was, fear often makes an appropriate response difficult.

In such situations, receiving the assistance of a specialist attorney with extensive experience in similar cases and responding from the early stage can change the outcome of the case.

At the Daeryun Law Firm Narcotics Response Group, specialist attorneys with more than 20 years of experience who previously served as narcotics-dedicated judges, prosecutors, and police officers form a handling team of 3 to 20 specialist attorneys depending on the scale of the case and respond jointly.
