Case overview
Mr. A and Mr. B were investigated for conspiring to break into the victim's residence at night and steal money. They hoped to reach an amicable settlement with the victim, but faced difficulties in their initial response.
Case issues
The main issues in this case were 1) the recoverability of damages for the specialty theft charge, 2) the possibility of leniency given the first offense, and 3) whether an amicable settlement with the victim could be reached, especially since the victim was demanding severe punishment.
Assistance from Ongang
Our lawyers conveyed our clients' sincere remorse to the victim and actively mediated to recover damages. We met with the victim several times to negotiate the terms of the settlement and reached a realistic settlement that took into account the clients' family relationships and financial situation.
We also systematically prepared and submitted materials to demonstrate our clients' voluntary reflection and willingness to improve during the prosecution investigation phase.
■ Result
Through our strategic advocacy and aggressive settlement mediation efforts, we were able to reach an amicable settlement with the victim in the amount of 2 million won and obtain a non-punishment petition from the victim.
As a result, the prosecution was able to take into account the clients' remorse and restoration of the damage and deferred prosecution in light of their remorse and restoration.
