The details of the client's case, as reviewed by the Daegu DUI attorney, were as follows.

The client was a day laborer who, after finishing work, came to have drinks with a meal alongside colleagues.

After the incident, the client sincerely sought the victim's forgiveness.
He also paid a settlement amount to provide at least some monetary compensation for the harm, and after receiving it, the victim forgave the client and expressed that he did not wish for the client to be punished.
The attorney requested leniency for the client, taking into account this forgiveness by the victim.
4. The Judgment Achieved by the Daegu Drunk Driving Attorney

After hearing the attorney's arguments, the court issued the following judgment.
However, the execution of the above sentence is suspended for two years from the date this judgment becomes final.
The client had not only committed the offense of drunk driving but also the offense of dangerous driving causing injury by injuring a person while intoxicated, so a very severe punishment was anticipated.
