The client who sought an Ansan drunk driving attorney was caught for drunk driving and faced trial, and sought a drunk driving attorney at the Ansan office in order to avoid an actual custodial sentence.
1. How the Client Came to Seek an Ansan Drunk Driving Attorney
The client, who held a consultation with an Ansan drunk driving attorney, drove while intoxicated and was caught by the police, and sought a drunk driving attorney at the Ansan office in order to reduce the punishment.
The Client Who Requested Assistance From an Ansan Drunk Driving Attorney
This is the account of the client who requested assistance from an Ansan drunk driving attorney.
On the day of the incident, the client had a drinking gathering with acquaintances they had not seen in a long time.
While talking about family matters, an argument broke out, and the angry client stormed out of the gathering.
At this point, the client got behind the wheel while intoxicated and was caught by police who had been dispatched after someone reported it.
Facing trial as a result, the client came to an Ansan drunk driving attorney and requested assistance in order to avoid an actual custodial sentence.
The Statutes Related to the Case as Explained by the Ansan Drunk Driving Attorney
Drunk driving is set out in the Road Traffic Act, and the level of punishment varies according to the blood alcohol concentration, as follows.
▶ Blood alcohol concentration of 0.03% or more and less than 0.08% : imprisonment for not more than one year or a fine not exceeding 5 million won
▶ Blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or more and less than 0.2% : imprisonment for one to two years or a fine of 5 million to 10 million won
If a person is caught for drunk driving again within ten years, they are subject to aggravated punishment under the two-strikes-out rule for drunk driving. The level of punishment is as follows.
▶ Blood alcohol concentration of 0.03% or more and less than 0.2% : imprisonment for one to five years or a fine of 5 million to 20 million won
2. The Assistance Provided by the Ansan Drunk Driving Attorney
The Ansan drunk driving attorney formed a task force with attorneys experienced in drunk driving cases and reviewed the client's case.
After gathering sentencing factors that could work in the client's favor, the attorney made the following arguments.
The Ansan Drunk Driving Attorney's Argument ① | An Attitude of Remorse
Acknowledging the wrongdoing and with a remorseful frame of mind, the client disposed of the vehicle immediately after the incident.
The attorney also emphasized that the client was attending drunk driving prevention education and was making every effort not to reoffend.
The Ansan Drunk Driving Attorney's Argument ② | The Existence of Dependent Family Members
The client is the head of a household who is raising their children alone.
After divorcing their spouse, the client engages in economic activity alone, and the family lives in reliance on the client's income.
The attorney therefore emphasized that if the client were to receive an actual custodial sentence, the livelihood of the remaining family members would become difficult.
The Ansan Drunk Driving Attorney's Argument ③ | Petitions From Acquaintances
Despite difficult circumstances, the client did not neglect to care for neighbors who were in even harder situations than their own.
The client has lived as an ordinary citizen who did not hesitate to help and support those in need, doing social welfare volunteer work and making donations.
The attorney emphasized that the client's acquaintances, who were well aware of this, were submitting petitions asking for leniency for the client.
3. The Result of the Ansan Drunk Driving Attorney's Assistance: "A Suspended Sentence"
Accepting the Ansan drunk driving attorney's arguments, the court issued a judgment stating, "The defendant shall be sentenced to eight months' imprisonment. However, the execution of the above sentence shall be suspended for two years from the date this judgment becomes final."
If You Have Been Caught for Drunk Driving
The case above was an instance in which a client caught for drunk driving concluded the matter with a suspended sentence through the assistance of an Ansan drunk driving attorney.
If you have been caught for drunk driving, an actual custodial sentence may be imposed depending on the blood alcohol concentration or any prior record of the same offense, so receiving an attorney's assistance can be advantageous.
