Assistance From the Jinju Law Firm | The Jinju Law Firm That Defended a Theft of Property Worth Tens of Millions of Won and Obtained a Fine
The client who sought out the Jinju law firm carried out theft of property worth tens of millions of won, yet by proceeding with the case together with the Jinju law firm, concluded the matter with a relatively light fine.
1. The Client Who Came to the Jinju Law Firm

The client who sought out the Jinju law firm came to Daeryun's Jinju office in order to resolve the case promptly with the help of a law firm equipped with extensive practical experience and expertise.
How the Client Came to the Jinju Law Firm
The account of the client who came to the Jinju law firm to request assistance is as follows.
The victim is a person who acquired ownership of a structure on the land through an auction, and the client is the former owner of that structure.
Claiming that the auction was void because the investigation of the property had been conducted improperly at the time of the auction, the client arbitrarily removed the structure that the victim owned and possessed.
In addition, the client went so far as to steal the property of the counterparty, who had lawfully acquired ownership through the auction procedure, using equipment such as an excavator.
Having carried out 🔗theft of property worth tens of millions of won, the client was placed in a situation where serious punishment could result.
Seeking to resolve the case amicably with the assistance of a law firm equipped with diverse experience in handling cases and expertise, the client came to the Jinju law firm and proceeded with a consultation.
2. The Statutes Relevant to the Case as Explained by the Jinju Law Firm
■ Article 329 (Theft)
A person who steals another's property shall be punished by imprisonment with labor for not more than six years or by a fine not exceeding ten million won.
■ Article 331 (Special Theft)
(1) A person who, at night, damages part of a door, wall, or other structure, intrudes into a place specified in Article 330, and steals another's property shall be punished by imprisonment with labor for not less than one year and not more than ten years.
(2) A person who steals another's property while carrying a deadly weapon or jointly with two or more persons shall also be punished by the penalty under paragraph (1).
■ Article 332 (Habitual Offender)
A person who habitually commits an offense under Articles 329 through 331-2 shall have the penalty prescribed for that offense increased by up to one half.
3. The Assistance Provided by the Jinju Law Firm
The Jinju law firm formed a task force of three to twenty criminal law specialists to analyze the client's case in detail.
Based on this, the firm established a tailored strategy and, asserting the following points, appealed for leniency on behalf of the client.
The Jinju Law Firm's Argument 1: Restoration of the Stolen Property
The client proposed to the victim on several occasions that they clearly establish the boundaries of the property.
When the victim refused, the client attempted to move the victim's property elsewhere and thereby came to commit the offense at issue in this case.
The firm emphasized that the client had returned all of the affected property to its original location and had thus restored a substantial portion of it.
The Jinju Law Firm's Argument 2: Remorse and Atonement
Although the client initially denied committing the offense, the client belatedly acknowledged the wrongdoing.
The firm emphasized that, upon realizing that the client's own ignorance had caused serious harm to many concerned parties, the client deeply repented and regretted the conduct and submitted letters of reflection on several occasions.
The Jinju Law Firm's Argument 3: Low Risk of Reoffending
The client has no record whatsoever of a similar offense or of criminal punishment exceeding a fine.
The client's family members and acquaintances also pledged to care for the client closely and to guide the client onto the right path.
The client has also promised never to commit the same wrongdoing again, and the firm emphasized that the risk of reoffending is low.
4. The Court's Decision on the Jinju Law Firm's Arguments
The court accepted the arguments of the Jinju law firm and sentenced the client to a relatively light fine.
