The client was a highly paid salary man who works in Gangnam as a foreign engineer. However, the case happened in gym where he works out. One day the locker was opened in the locker room, and the client saw an IWC watch worth 15 million won and he accidentally took it. As a result of his deed, the police stormed the client's house and searched his house with the warrant, and police found out the stolen watch in his house.

When the client visited Brandon Kim's law firm, the client was very afraid that his work visa would be canceled due to this incident. Usually, immigration offices in Korea cancel a client's visa, which was fined over 3 million won.

Brandon Kim relieved his mind first. Kim said he should apologize to the victim first through the lawyer. And, finally he could get 'suspension of prosecution' from the prosecutor which means leniency when he makes settlement with the victim.

Therefore, as soon as Brandon Kim took charge of the case, he contacted the police to express the intention to settle, and after a while, the he was able to pay settlement amount (KRW 2 million) and reach a settlement under Brandon Kim's mediation. And, as Brandon Kim said, the client was sentenced to suspension of prosecution(기소유예) finally.

Due to the above incident, the client promised not to repeat this again and sincerely reflected on the incident. However, in the end, there was no problem at all with the client's workplace or life in Korea.
