Profile

A Lawyer Who Knows the Investigative Process Firsthand Can Build a More Effective Defense.

During 15 years of service as a police officer, I worked in a wide range of investigative roles, including the Investigation Bureau of the Korean National Police Agency, the Investigation Division of Seoul Gangnam Police Station, and as Head of a Women and Juvenile Investigation Team.

I personally handled a broad range of matters, including major public-order cases, investigations into misconduct by public officials, sexual offenses, child abuse, traffic offenses, financial crimes, violent crimes, and disciplinary matters involving public officials.

My experience in the field taught me that the response taken at the earliest stage of an investigation can have a decisive impact on the outcome of a case. Drawing on firsthand investigative experience, I identify the issues most likely to attract the attention of investigative authorities and develop a focused strategy tailored to each client’s circumstances.

I provide practical and effective legal assistance grounded not merely in theory, but in experience gained from the field.

Profile

Drawing on firsthand investigative experience, I identify critical gaps in a case and develop a strategic response from the earliest stages through resolution.

In sexual offense and narcotics cases, a single statement or piece of evidence obtained at an early stage can significantly influence the direction and outcome of an investigation.

Drawing on my firsthand experience in police investigations, I quickly assess the overall course of a case and identify the issues likely to receive the closest scrutiny from investigative authorities. Through a detailed analysis of witness statements, digital evidence, and investigative records, I identify weaknesses and inconsistencies in the case and develop a focused defense strategy tailored to each client.

Profile
20 Years of Police Experience, Now Applied to Strategic Criminal Defense.

After graduating from the Korean National Police University, I spent 20 years in law enforcement, personally handling a wide range of criminal matters and investigations.

As an investigation team leader, I gained firsthand insight into how investigative authorities approach a case, identify key issues, and make decisions throughout the investigative process.

Today, I draw on that experience to anticipate the course of an investigation and develop a focused response strategy tailored to each client’s circumstances.

Combining the investigative perspective of a former police officer with the strategic judgment of a criminal defense attorney, I provide practical and effective representation from the earliest stages of an investigation through resolution.

Partner Attorney

Profile

I Put the Client First and Provide Clear Legal Guidance When It Matters Most.

Effective legal representation begins with an accurate understanding of the facts and circumstances of each case.

I have handled a wide range of criminal matters, including stalking, fraud, violations of information and communications laws, school violence, and juvenile cases, as well as matters requiring focused advocacy at the police and prosecution stages to secure non-referral or non-prosecution outcomes.

Drawing on my understanding of police investigations, I carefully analyze statements, evidence, and the course of the investigation to identify the response best suited to each client’s circumstances.
