Charges of lease forgery and use fraud dropped
The client is a person who left Korea for the United States in the 1990s and lives in the U.S. Recently, while preparing various documents to return to Korea to spend his old age, the client learned that the prosecutor's office had a case pending against him (interim disposition due to the suspect's unknown whereabouts). The client came to our firm because he was worried that he might encounter problems during or after his entry into the country due to the pending fraud, forgery, and forgery of documents case. The case is that the client forged a lease agreement and provided it to the complainant, and then extorted money as collateral for the lease deposit. Our lawyers consulted with the client, who lives in the United States, via video call to confirm the details of the case, and after confirming that the handwriting on the lease agreement was not the client's handwriting at all, our lawyers had the handwriting examined. Based on this, we searched for the contact information of the complainant, called the complainant, and explained the contents of the case. The complainant said that he did not want to be punished.
