The Client Who Sought to File a Criminal Complaint

The circumstances of the case as ascertained by the Gangneung criminal litigation attorney are as follows.

The client was staying at a hotel for a relaxing getaway with their partner to celebrate an anniversary.

On the evening of the incident, someone knocked urgently on the room door, and the client, assuming it was their partner returning from the convenience store, opened the door.

However, the person at the door was a young man who appeared to be intoxicated and was a complete stranger.

The client therefore told the man that he seemed to have come to the wrong room and asked him to leave.

Upon hearing this, the man suddenly assaulted the client indiscriminately.

Ultimately, as the assault continued, the client lost consciousness on the spot and sustained an injury requiring more than six weeks of treatment.

Having been assaulted by a person whose name they did not even know, the client requested that the Gangneung criminal litigation attorney handle representation in filing a criminal complaint in order to bring the assailant to punishment.

Arguing That the Client Still Suffers Greatly to This Day
