On the day of the incident, the client of the Gumi drunk driving attorney had a meal with his wife at a restaurant located right in front of the apartment complex where he lives.
He had intended only to eat with his wife, but as they talked about their future, he ended up drinking, which had not been planned.

While parking, he caused a collision with another vehicle, and through this the drunk driving in this case was detected.

Gumi Drunk Driving Lawyer: The Extent of Harm in the Client's Case
The client of the Gumi drunk driving attorney drove only about 150 m after drinking.
The client caused no personal injury whatsoever, and because the property damage from the collision was very minor, he reached a settlement with the owner of the damaged vehicle.
