A Promise LAWFIRM LEAP Makes to Its Clients

We are grateful that word of our track record has spread, as many people from all over the country have recently come to us after hearing about LEAP.

Of course, we are deeply grateful for this, but we would like to tell clients who visit our firm not to rush into retaining us based on our track record alone.

A criminal case is a serious matter that can change the course of a person's life.

Therefore, rather than retaining an attorney based solely on career history or titles, we recommend that you first check the attorney's convictions and values to see whether you can trust them with a significant case that will determine the direction of your life.

Today, we would like to explain why the Managing Partner of LAWFIRM LEAP left a major firm such as Kim & Chang or Bae, Kim & Lee, and chose to work with clients under the name LAWFIRM LEAP.

Rather than contacting us simply because of our background at a major firm or our numerous awards, we ask that you first check how LEAP approaches each case, and then contact us only if you resonate with our convictions and values.

01Sincerity toward the client is the minimum virtue an attorney must uphold.

According to the Legal Times, more than 30,000 attorneys are active in Korea. As this is 2019 data, the number is likely even higher now, in 2024.

As the number of attorneys grows this large, the criteria by which clients choose an attorney inevitably become more diverse.

Nevertheless, what every client commonly expects is clear.

It is the belief that the attorney standing before them will take genuine responsibility for their case and do their utmost to help.

Therefore, we believe that living up to this trust from clients is the minimum virtue and conscience an attorney should possess.

Unfortunately, clients sometimes tell us that even this minimum virtue is not upheld.

Cases where an attorney attracts clients by touting an impressive career, but in reality hands the case over to a junior attorney and does not get personally involved..

Cases where an office manager drafts the briefs and the attorney merely signs them, with no direct communication with the client..

Or cases where the client is frightened into retaining the firm, only to find that communication becomes scarce afterward..

However, the attorneys at LAWFIRM LEAP believe that, for the sake of the client who has entrusted their case in reliance on the attorney, it is a basic attitude every attorney must have to personally handle and take responsibility for the case from the initial consultation all the way through trial.

Accordingly, even amid busy schedules of consultations and trials, our attorneys always personally oversee every case from consultation through trial, doing their utmost day and night.

In the end, this sincerity toward the client is the only way to achieve the victory that clients want most.

02The shortcut to victory: the role of attorneys with a police background.

No matter how sincerely an attorney treats a client's case, once the case moves into the Police Investigation stage, the difficulty of resolving it rises sharply, more than twofold.

Yet some clients sometimes think that if they explain their grievance well, the police will listen and understand.

However, the attorneys at LAWFIRM LEAP with a police background.. often say that this is nothing more than wishful thinking.

The police are composed of veteran investigators who have handled countless cases. As such, seemingly casual questions may conceal various traps.

Therefore, if a single misstep leads you into a leading question, it may only be a matter of time before an arrest warrant is requested and the case ultimately proceeds to trial.

For this reason, LAWFIRM LEAP recommends that, if possible, you seek the help of an attorney who understands the police's perspective, even before the police investigation stage begins.

Based on years of experience working within the police organization and numerous commendations from the Commissioner General of the Korean National Police Agency, our attorneys actively intervene in police investigations from the earliest stage of a case, working to represent the client's position and protect their rights.

Sincerity toward the client, and viewing the case from the police's perspective.

Losing sleep every day worrying about the client's case, thinking about how to persuade the investigative authorities. Feeling as tense as if it were their own matter the night before sentencing.

This is precisely why the attorneys at LAWFIRM LEAP left major firms such as Kim & Chang or Bae, Kim & Lee to work together at LAWFIRM LEAP, and this is their conviction.

Going forward, LAWFIRM LEAP will not lose sight of this conviction, and we promise to do our utmost for the clients who trust and come to us.

We sincerely hope that today's story has been of help to those going through a difficult time due to involvement in a criminal case.. If you resonate with our sincerity through this story, please feel free to contact us through the banner below.
