Legal Q&A

Tired of non-expert, ad-driven answers to your legal questions?
Daeryun's specialist attorneys are here to answer.

A dispute continues because I have not received the construction payment. Threats to my safety have intensified, so I am in a situation where a bodyguard is essential; can I receive a security service?

I am a self-employed person who runs a small construction company. A few months ago, I completed the construction and billed for the payment, but the client kept putting it off day after day, ultimately failing to pay and, turning the tables, is now threatening me. Recently, it has even come to the point where the client loiters near my workplace or repeatedly threatens me, hurling abuse and saying they will kill me if I keep demanding payment. I am worried even for my family, and I am seriously considering whether I should receive a security service. Can you provide personal protection services even in a case like this?

Yes, as in the case you described, where a dispute arising from nonpayment of the construction payment has escalated into a threat to your safety, you can receive a security service.

Because a legal dispute is a situation in which emotions can become extremely heated, there is a significant risk that it could escalate into a physical clash or a threat of retaliation.

In particular, for small business operators or sole proprietors, it is not easy to prepare a legal response and personal protection at the same time, so a more prompt response is needed.

For such threat cases, the Daeryun Security Center provides a security service that protects the client's safety through a process of risk analysis followed by the establishment of a security plan.

The security personnel analyze the client's overall living radius, including the workplace, residence, and travel routes, to minimize the possibility of danger.

In particular, where there are circumstances such as the perpetrator loitering in a particular area or engaging in verbal abuse or threats, we cooperate with a criminal law attorney to carry out criminal measures, such as an application for a restraining order and provisional measures, along with physical security.

If necessary, vehicle support and family protection are also provided together, and the security personnel are on standby at all times to respond in real time to threat situations.

What is most important is establishing a safe protective barrier for the client's anxious mind and daily life.

The law firm's Security Center goes beyond simple security, protecting the client's rights and safety through a one-stop response system in which legal advisory and personal protection are provided simultaneously.

Rather than agonizing alone, we recommend that you find a safe solution together with Daeryun's legal experts.
