While driving after drinking, I was caught in a drunk driving crackdown for the first time.. and my case has been referred to the prosecutors' office. How long does it take from referral until a decision is made? My alcohol level seemed to be about the threshold. In this situation, are there things that could help with a strategy for reducing the sentence for drunk driving? If there is an attorney specializing in drunk driving, I would appreciate a response regarding the resolution of the referral of my drunk driving case to the prosecutors' office.

Reduction of a drunk driving sentence is the subject of this response. Ordinarily, the time it takes from the referral of a drunk driving case to the prosecutors' office until a decision is made is about 3 months. Judging from your case, you appear to be a first-time drunk driving offender, and under the Road Traffic Act, a blood alcohol concentration of 0.03% or higher but below 0.08% is punishable by imprisonment for not more than 1 year or a fine of not more than 5 million won. The referral of a drunk driving case to the prosecutors' office is the process by which the police hand over an investigated case to the prosecution, and it is an important stage at which the prosecution judges the referred case and decides whether to indict.
For this reason, at this stage it is important to promptly establish a strategy for reducing the drunk driving sentence with the assistance of an attorney specializing in drunk driving, so as to obtain, as far as possible, a suspension of indictment or a non-prosecution disposition and to conclude the case quickly. Actively demonstrating efforts such as submitting a letter of reflection, a written plea, and measures to prevent reoffending in drunk driving can positively affect the grounds for leniency. At our firm, attorneys specializing in drunk driving analyze the evidence relating to the circumstances of the client's case and, when necessary, provide client-tailored assistance by accompanying the client to the prosecutorial investigation so that unfavorable statements are not made.
