[Ilsan DUI Attorney Sentence Reduction Case] Suspended Sentence for a Repeat Drunk Driving Offense Through the Assistance of an Ilsan DUI Attorney
The client who came to the Ilsan DUI attorney was caught driving while intoxicated. The client, who already had a prior drunk driving record, came to need the assistance of Daeryun Law Firm.
1. How the Client Came to the Ilsan DUI Attorney
The client who visited the Ilsan DUI attorney already had a prior drunk driving record. Having been caught as a repeat offender, the client was placed in an unfavorable situation and came to Daeryun Law Firm to avoid an actual custodial sentence at the very least.
The Client Who Requested the Assistance of the Ilsan DUI Attorney
The client who visited the Ilsan DUI attorney drank alcohol at an evening engagement and then went on to drive.
The client called a designated driver, but there was no response, so the client unavoidably ended up driving alone. After driving alone for around five kilometers while intoxicated, the client was ultimately caught in a drunk driving check.
The client, who already had a prior conviction for the same type of offense, repeated the mistake of drunk driving, which should never have occurred. Placed in a legally unfavorable situation, the client requested the assistance of the Ilsan DUI attorney at Daeryun Law Firm.
Drunk Driving Penalty Levels Explained by the Ilsan DUI Attorney
The penalty levels for drunk driving sentences are as set out below.
Blood Alcohol Concentration | Penalty | Applicable Provision |
0.2 percent or higher | Imprisonment for 2 to 5 years, or a fine of 10 million to 20 million won | Road Traffic Act Article 148-2(3)(1) |
0.08 percent or higher but below 0.2 percent | Imprisonment for 1 to 2 years, or a fine of 5 million to 10 million won | Road Traffic Act Article 148-2(3)(2) |
0.03 percent or higher but below 0.08 percent | Imprisonment for up to 1 year, or a fine of up to 5 million won | Road Traffic Act Article 148-2(3)(3) |
2. Assistance Provided by the Ilsan DUI Attorney
To reduce the sentence, the Ilsan DUI attorney assembled a team with extensive case experience and prepared accordingly.
The Ilsan DUI Attorney: Efforts to Prevent the Same Mistake
The client argued that, following this case, the client had been making continuous efforts to prevent reoffending of the same type, including completing traffic-related education and submitting a written pledge.
The Ilsan DUI Attorney: Argument That the Client Fully Admitted the Offense and Was Continually Showing Remorse
The client was more aware than anyone of the mistakes of drinking at a meal and then driving afterward, and argued that the client was showing remorse in this regard.
The Ilsan DUI Attorney: Argument That the Defendant Has Family Members to Support
The client is the head of a household, caring for the children alone. In a sense different from the past misstep, the client argued that an actual custodial sentence could create problems for the family's livelihood as well as for the children's upbringing.
3. A ‘Suspended Sentence’ Imposed Through the Assistance of the Ilsan DUI Attorney
The court, accepting the arguments of the Ilsan DUI attorney and the client, ruled, ‘The defendant is sentenced to one year of imprisonment. However, the execution of this sentence is suspended for three years from the date this judgment becomes final.’ With the assistance of the Ilsan DUI attorney, the client succeeded in reducing the punishment.
Drunk Driving Should Never Happen, but If You Need a Sentence Reduction?
The client, who had a prior drunk driving conviction, again drank at an evening gathering and was caught driving. Even so, this is one case in which the client avoided an actual custodial sentence and obtained a reduced sentence with the assistance of the Ilsan DUI attorney.
If a person is caught drunk driving again within ten years, the likelihood of receiving an actual custodial sentence is high, so obtaining a sentence reduction with the assistance of a specialized attorney may be advisable.
