I am writing this while looking for an Ulsan law firm.. I am in charge of accounting duties at a company, and recently, due to my wife's mistake, I was in a situation where I urgently needed money, and since taking out a loan was too time-pressed, even though I knew I should not, I secretly took company money.. I intended to put it back quickly, but this was caught by another employee, and I am now in a situation where I have been charged with occupational embezzlement by the company. Is there a good Ulsan law firm that has handled many embezzlement cases? I need help..

Hello. This is Daeryun Law LLC.
The occupational embezzlement with which you are charged is defined by Article 356 of the Criminal Act, and it is established when a person who wrongfully acquires or manages another's property wrongfully uses that property for themselves or for a third party.
The level of punishment varies depending on the scale and circumstances of the crime, and it is punishable by a fine not exceeding 30 million won or by imprisonment of up to ten years.
Since the amount of damage can greatly influence the determination of the sentence, a strategy of specifically rebutting and defending against the amount of damage, with the legal assistance of an Ulsan law firm from the early stages, is essential.
In addition, before mounting a defense, it is important to obtain the complainant's written complaint or petition through a request for information disclosure to the competent agency, in order to know exactly what charge you are involved in.
This is because you can then understand what the complainant is asserting and why they filed the complaint.
Once you have obtained the petition or the written complaint, you should bring it and visit an Ulsan law firm to check, together with an experienced attorney, whether there are grounds on which you would receive aggravated punishment.
After that, you should put forward, as sentencing factors for leniency, that you deeply repent of the charge, that there was no intent, and that you are a first offender with no record of the same type of offense.
When you are involved in occupational embezzlement, it is advisable to obtain the assistance of a defense attorney who can respond actively according to the individual circumstances of the case.
If the embezzled amount is large or occurred continuously, the sentence may increase, so for such a situation you may wish to accurately confirm the matter through a consultation with an attorney experienced in criminal cases.
