IPG Legal's Korean Criminal Defense Team

​

In all Korean criminal defense cases where you are accused of a Korean crime, you fear that you may be sentenced to time in jail, may be deported, or the conviction may harm your future, hire quickly an experienced and proactive English-fluent Korean criminal defense lawyer prior to any interrogations by the Korean police or prosecution. In most cases, the most important choice, shall be your choice of an attorney in Korea. 

 

IPG Legal recommends, in all cases concerning an investigation for a crime in Korea, that you immediately hire a Proactive Korean Criminal Defense Attorney.

Hiring a Criminal Defense Lawyer in Korea

Sadly, few lawyers in Korea are useful for criminal matters, since few lawyers are proactive when it comes to matters concerning the Korean government, experienced in criminal matters for foreigners, or willing to upset the status quo (aggressively engage the prosecutor and court).

 

Please note it is important that your lawyers understand not only the criminal issue involved but also the implications for your future employment outside of Korea and your immigration status in Korea.

 

Please forgo any options provided at no or low cost unless you have no other options. The reality is the most important decision you shall make, at this time, is the choice of a lawyer. If you are under SOFA, you may choose any lawyer you want, as noted on a form JAG provides to you before, or sometimes after, your choice of a lawyer. Choose the lawyer you feel is the best for your needs—not the lawyer that others may feel is the best for not only your needs.
