Case Summary:

Suhn Law Group recently represented a victim in a stalking case involving a former girlfriend who, after a breakup, made thousands of phone calls and sent messages. When blocked, she continued contact by making small bank transfers accompanied by messages, while also engaging in defamation and threats. The firm successfully intervened to stop the ongoing stalking conduct.

The suspect repeatedly pressured the victim to continue the relationship by leveraging certain inappropriate conduct that allegedly occurred during their past relationship. When the victim insisted on ending the relationship, the suspect not only continued stalking but also attempted to maintain contact through repeated defamation and threats, including the potential disclosure of private matters to acquaintances and online.

After enduring several months of persistent stalking through various methods, the victim retained Suhn Law Group Criminal Team (Lead Attorney: Sung Uk Bak). Attorney Bak responded immediately by directly contacting the suspect and warning of potential legal consequences, which temporarily halted the conduct. When the suspect resumed stalking one month later, a formal notice was sent, again warning of legal action. Upon further recurrence, the firm promptly filed a criminal complaint along with a detailed legal opinion, leading the suspect to recognize the seriousness of the matter.

Despite ongoing issues during settlement negotiations, including continued direct contact by the suspect and the withdrawal of the suspect’s legal counsel, Attorney Bak maintained firm communication and guidance, ultimately achieving a direct settlement. The agreement included a sincere apology, a commitment to prevent recurrence, and a penalty clause for any violation, effectively preventing further contact or approach.

Suhn Law Group remains committed to protecting its clients through decisive and proactive legal action, regardless of the opposing party or circumstances.
