The specialized attorney established a systematic response strategy based on the evidentiary materials.

In order to lead the case favorably, the attorney made the following arguments.

Criminal Attorney's Assistance ① A Planned Offense

The criminal attorney argued that the suspect's conduct was not impulsive but a meticulously planned offense carried out for the purpose of extorting money.

An analysis of the conversation records between the two showed circumstances indicating that the suspect deliberately approached and made threats.

It was emphasized that the suspect's conduct was an intentional and planned crime, and that this was a matter requiring a strong legal response.

Criminal Attorney's Assistance ② Financial Harm

Suffering from the suspect's repeated intimidation and demands for money, the client ultimately, under psychological pressure, even took out a loan to hand over the funds.

The criminal attorney organized objective evidence such as the account transaction records and loan records, and argued that the suspect's conduct had caused actual economic harm.

In addition, the attorney emphasized that, because there was a considerable likelihood that the suspect's offenses had been committed repeatedly in the past, a separate investigation into other offenses should also be conducted.

4. Result of the Criminal Attorney's Assistance: “Fine for the Perpetrator”

The court accepted the criminal attorney's argument and sentenced the perpetrator to a fine.

The client, the victim of extortion and intimidation, expressed deep gratitude, saying that the systematic assistance had made it possible to obtain the desired result.
