How the Client Came to Seek Out the Jinju Law Firm
This is the account of the client who held a consultation at the Jinju law firm.
The clients were people in charge of managing an officetel and a commercial building.
One day, they discovered that a barrier had been installed on the second basement level of the commercial building to control the entry of outside vehicles.
A dispute arose with the victim, the owner of the commercial building, over the fact that users of the officetel and the commercial building could no longer use the parking lot.
During the dispute, the clients conspired to destroy the barrier in this case.
They called a locksmith, released the locking device on the barrier's power box, and cut off the power supply, disabling the barrier's function.
The clients jointly destroyed property owned by the victim.
