The client had been drinking at an after-work get-together with an acquaintance and later drove a short distance and caused an accident. After the accident, the client fled the scene and was found to be driving under the influence during the police investigation. As a result of the investigation, it was found that the client had two previous drunk driving convictions, and these convictions played a role in this case, resulting in a sentence of 10 months in prison, 2 years of probation, 80 hours of community service, and 40 hours of compliance driving course at the first trial. However, the client decided to appeal the sentence and sought out Ongang Law Firm for legal representation, believing that the sentence was excessive and would make it too difficult for the client to make a living and return to society. ■ Case Issues 1.
