Case overview
While serving as an appraiser for a public entity, the client was accused of receiving improper inducements from certain companies in connection with the appraisal.
However, the client consistently denied any solicitation or bribery from the investigation stage to the courtroom.
The client's location, credit card details, and transportation history contradicted the allegations, so he came to Ongang Law Firm to get to the bottom of the case.
Case issues
The key issues in the case were whether the client actually met with the business representative at the time and place of the alleged solicitation and whether there was a bribe.
Assistance from Ongang
From the outset of the case, Mr. Ong Kang developed a thorough and systematic strategy to prove his client's innocence.
First, we obtained and analyzed objective evidence, such as credit card usage, transportation records, and boarding passes, to clarify our client's whereabouts. This allowed us to prove that he was not at the alleged location at the time of the incident.
He also made a strong case in court that the other side's arguments were logically contradictory and did not make sense, emphasizing that his client had no real influence over the case.
In addition, we established the credibility of our client's testimony by linking it to the evidence to show that it was consistent from the beginning of the investigation, and we undermined the credibility of the opponent's testimony by pointing out how it contradicted the flow of events.
In addition, we thoroughly reviewed case law from similar cases to provide a legal and logical explanation for why the prosecution's burden of proof was not met.
■ Result
With the help of our attorneys, the client was able to obtain a not guilty of the charges.
The court found that the evidence presented by the prosecution was insufficient to prove the charges against our client, and he was cleared of all charges and was able to regain his freedom.
