Daeryun Law Firm drunk driving case suspended sentence assistance example


The client who sought a Cheongju drunk driving attorney was caught driving under the influence and, facing criminal punishment, urgently requested a consultation with a Cheongju attorney in order to defend against the punishment.

Background of the Client's Case

This is the account of the client as reviewed by the drunk driving attorney.

After drinking, the client drove while heavily intoxicated on the road in front of the client's home, caused a minor collision, and was investigated by the police.

At the time of being caught for drunk driving, the client's blood alcohol concentration was at the level for driver's license revocation.

Afterward, facing criminal punishment, the client urgently requested help from a drunk driving attorney who had handled numerous drunk driving cases in order to defend against the punishment.

The Severity of Punishment for Drunk Driving

The severity of punishment for drunk driving varies according to the blood alcohol concentration.

Blood Alcohol Concentration

Severity of Punishment

0.03% or more ~ less than 0.08%

Imprisonment for up to 1 year or a fine of up to 5 million won

0.08% or more ~ less than 0.2%

Imprisonment for 1 to 2 years or a fine of 5 million to 10 million won

0.2% or more

Imprisonment for 2 to 5 years or a fine of 10 million to 20 million won


If a person is caught for drunk driving, the person may face administrative dispositions such as suspension or revocation of the driver's license in addition to criminal punishment.

If the blood alcohol concentration is 0.03% or more ~ less than 0.08%, the driver's license is suspended, but if it reaches 0.08% or more, the driver's license may be revoked.

In addition, if a person injures or causes the death of another while drunk driving, the person may be subject to aggravated punishment.

Therefore, if you face 🔗punishment for drunk driving, it is important to consult promptly with a legal professional and respond actively.

2. Three Forms of Assistance From the Cheongju Drunk Driving Attorney

Through a consultation with the client, the Cheongju drunk driving attorney grasped the facts of the case and promptly established a response strategy.

Afterward, to resolve the case, a task force was formed with attorneys who had handled numerous drunk driving cases, and they provided assistance as follows.

Argument of the Drunk Driving Attorney ① | Full Admission of the Criminal Facts

The client admitted all of the facts regarding the drunk driving and repented of the wrongdoing.

The client also emphasized deep remorse by submitting a handwritten letter of apology.

Argument of the Drunk Driving Attorney ② | The Head of a Household

As the head of a household, the client is responsible for supporting a spouse, an elderly mother, and two young children.

The Cheongju drunk driving attorney therefore emphasized that an actual custodial sentence for the client would deal a heavy blow to the family's livelihood.

Argument of the Drunk Driving Attorney ③ | Low Likelihood of Reoffending

After this case, the client disposed of the vehicle in order not to repeat the same mistake.

The Cheongju drunk driving attorney therefore emphasized that the client's likelihood of reoffending was low.

3. A Suspended Sentence as the Result of the Cheongju Drunk Driving Attorney's Assistance

Accepting the Cheongju drunk driving attorney's arguments, the court issued a judgment stating, “The defendant is sentenced to one year of imprisonment. However, the execution of this sentence is suspended for two years from the date this judgment becomes final.”
