Legal Q&A

I have a question regarding a tax appeal.

There are many things I cannot quite understand and many things that feel unfair regarding the value-added tax I received from the National Tax Service, so I intend to proceed with the tax appeal procedures. If it is difficult to resolve the matter even after proceeding with the tax appeal procedures, I am also considering a tax appeal lawsuit, so how do these tax appeal procedures work? I would appreciate an answer from an attorney who is well versed in tax appeals.

I am asking an attorney specializing in medical law about a medical professional's duty of confidentiality.

Hello. I would like to ask an attorney specializing in medical law about a medical professional's duty of confidentiality. Recently, on an internet community, I found a post containing my husband's medical history, his weight at the time, and photographs of the surgical site. When I looked into it, I found that the doctor who performed the surgery had posted it under the pretext of a treatment case. Is this not a violation of a medical professional's duty of confidentiality toward a patient? Can I file a criminal complaint?

I am seeking legal advice regarding pharmaceutical licensing and approval.

Hello, I am requesting legal advice regarding pharmaceutical licensing and approval. I operated a pharmaceutical company in the United States for a long time, and I am now preparing to enter the Korean market. The process and standards for pharmaceutical licensing and approval appear to differ between the United States and Korea, so I have many concerns. I am curious about how the process works in Korea. I believe it would be best to proceed with the help of a specialized attorney, is that correct?

I have a question about unlicensed medical practice.

Hello. It is embarrassing, but I have a question regarding unlicensed medical practice. It is not that I have no medical license at all, but some time ago my medical license was suspended due to a certain incident. Even so, I simply concealed this and continued to perform medical practice. I thought it would be fine because there was no problem with my skill, but I have been reported for unlicensed medical practice. The punishment will be greater, will it not? I am worried that at this rate my license might be revoked altogether.

How can a manufacturer who concealed the side effects of a medical device be punished?

Hello. I would like to ask whether it is possible to file a report for a violation of the Medical Devices Act. Recently, I bought a medical device, and my skin completely broke out and became a mess. It is to the point that I have been receiving treatment at a dermatology clinic for over three weeks now. It seems to be a side effect of the medical device. Can I report the manufacturer who sold it while concealing the medical device's side effects for a violation of the Medical Devices Act?

I am requesting help from a medical attorney. I was assaulted by a patient.

I am requesting help from a medical attorney. I am a doctor, and I was recently assaulted by a patient under my care. As the patient was throwing things, I tried to stop him, and I was struck in the face several times with a fist. My colleagues tell me to file a complaint. I would like to ask whether I may file a complaint, and also whether I can file a complaint under the Medical Service Act in addition to the Criminal Act.

I would like to know in detail about drug offender sentencing. I would appreciate your reply.

I would like to know in detail how drug offender sentencing works. In particular, can an actual prison sentence be imposed even for a first-time offender or for a person who has inhaled a small amount of narcotics? I would be grateful if a cannabis attorney could explain in detail whether a narcotic such as cannabis also carries a high level of punishment and what punishment applies in the case of a repeat offense..!

Attorney specializing in drug cases, will I be punished even though I tried to buy drugs but did not receive the goods?

Out of curiosity, I tried to buy drugs over the internet. I even made the payment, but in the end I did not receive the goods and the transaction did not go through.. Then I received a call from the police and ended up being investigated. Even though I did not actually receive or use drugs, will I be punished in such a case? Attorney specializing in drug cases, I am so worried, please answer quickly.

I was caught smuggling drugs. Do I have to serve a prison sentence just like this?

While traveling abroad, I brought in an item at the request of an acquaintance and was caught at the airport. I explained that I did not know the contents, but the test showed it was a drug, and I am now being investigated on charges of drug smuggling. I am very flustered and at a loss. In a case like this, will I unconditionally be sentenced to imprisonment? I do not know how I should respond.
