Attorney Kang Tae-hoon

Lawyer Kang Tae-hoon Episode 061

Chapter 20 God's move

Half a year has passed again. Taehoon is now thirty-three.

He moved the office of Hanmaeum. The office, which used to be about 40 pyeong, has now been changed to about 70 pyeong. There were also lawyers who were chosen as new recruits.

The two were recruited as soon as they graduated from the training institute, and in the case of the other, they belonged to Hwasan Law Firm, but they came with one mind, saying they wanted to work for human rights.

Everyone was new, but they were doing their job pretty well.

In addition, Jira's phone, which was constantly on the rise in the number of clients seeking one heart, rang nonstop.

Follow me-

“Yes, Hanmaeum Law Firm. Kang Min-hoo is a lawyer. Oh yes.”

follow-

“Yes, Hanmaeum Law Firm. This is Doo-Hwan Koh, an attorney. Yes."

Their mouths were busy. Although the number has increased, the busyness has not changed. A barrage of war swept through again.

Lawyer Oh Young-hoon, the youngest, circulated the coffee he had bought outside.

“I am tired.”

“Nowadays, every day is a battlefield.”

“Attorney Tae-Hoon Kang. You too, get some rest.”

CEO Park Moon-soo sighed and said as he looked at him while still sitting in his seat, reviewing the precedents and summarizing the things to be used in the trial.

“I am resting.”

Tae-hoon said he took a coffee and rested. It's a face that everyone can't stop.

Moonsu looked at him and smiled compassionately.

Now, a month later, Tae-Hoon would become a public defender.

In fact, I had to go through an interview and my competitiveness was strong these days, but lawyer Kim Han-gi welcomed Tae-hoon to become a public defender.

He recalled drinking with him a week ago.

“How about the friend you saw?”

Hangi, who was tilting his drink, asked cautiously.

“How are you? He is a friend who will be a godsend for today's public-appointed lawyers.”

Moonsu smiled as he broke his glass of wine.

“Is it that much?”

Kim Han-ki also felt that his friend was different from other lawyers during the free legal consultation, but I wondered if Park Moon-soo could reach that level.

“Sometimes it feels like seeing a veteran lawyer with decades of experience. A hard-working genius. I run more barefoot than anyone else, and I feel more rewarding in my work than anyone else. Do you know why I said it was a godsend?”

Kim Han-gi shook his head.

“For public defenders, Tae-Hoon Kang. The appearance of that friend is sure to be a refreshing shock.”He tapped the glass and put it down. Kim Han-gi had an interesting expression.

“The friends who receive the national treasury are the same salaried people in the end whether they win or lose the case. But he doesn't have that concept. He is ten and one hundred, and even if he wins, he knows how to be content with himself. And yet, I do my best.”

Kim Han-gi stood out.

It is ironic that there is no change in salary even if you take on ten and one hundred cases. A democratic society is a system where people earn money as much as they put in their efforts.

However, if you look at the state-appointed lawyers, even if you do 100 cases or two hundred cases, the fee you receive is the same.

That's why they're sober and don't do their best.

There is a saying

If you want to be acquitted, get a private attorney.

If the crime is just a felony and you have no choice but to live a sentence, get a free public defender.

To that extent, public-appointed lawyers these days are not well-received.

“I wondered if a small wave would come. I wonder if I can change with that one friend.”

“I really wish it were. All the guys are out these days. Sometimes, I just want to throw it down, not once or twice.”

Kim Han-gi talked about his feelings these days. Park Moon-soo burst out laughing at those words.

“I beg you. My bowl is small and I couldn't fill it all up. It was not a waste of seeing it overflowing, but it was fun, but there are so many incidents and injustices in publicly elected lawyers. They are also the people who actually control people's lives. Working differently from others sometimes comes with caution... … .”

“I know what you mean. As long as you are satisfied with your words, what can’t you do?”

Kim Han-ki poured alcohol into Moon-su's glass again. Alcohol is poured into a cold glass. The two drank again.

‘I wish I could come back and tell you what was going on in the wider world.’

Moonsu took a sip of his coffee. The coffee he drank was cafe mocha. He always scolded Tae-hoon for drinking only sweets, but it seems that he has been tainted by his friend.

It's disappointing, but I hope he will come back to his arms later.

Gi-tae appeared in court. plaintiff's loss. And Gi-tae, who stood on the defense of the defendant, won the case.

Even if they appeal, it won't change much.

Hearing the cries of the manuscript behind his back, his heart sank.

He sighed heavily involuntarily.

“Is your chest tight? The law only favored you. What?”

Someone comes up to him and asks. He was none other than Han Seong-ho, a lawyer. Gi-tae nodded at his words.

"Yes."

“Pity clouded judgment before the law. You just have to keep growing in your position.”

Han Seong-ho was particularly interested in Han Ki-tae. Of course, it is true that Ki-tae's grades were excellent at the Judicial Training Institute or during his college life.

It was only covered by Beomhyun or Taehoon, but he was also in the top class. He had, of course, dropped one bar exam, but that might not have been the case.

Rather, Beomhyun or Taehoon may be abnormal.

Han Seong-ho, who worked as a military judge similar to Tae-hoon and became a lawyer after being discharged from the military, was trying to raise him quite a bit.

Perhaps because of that, it had only been in for six months, but it had taken off quite a bit of growth.

In addition, in the case of Korean law firms, they mainly handle large cases.

The bigger the case, the better. The fee was increasing, and the Korean law firm was reaching out to various large corporations.

Even if you ask for just one such case and win, the drop in fees tends to exceed 100 million, but it was not given to those who were originally supposed to go through an internship like Gi-tae.

However, Seong-ho Han, who noticed him, joined the team he was in charge of and was developing him rapidly.

“If your heart is full, go for a drive. You've got a nice car, and you'll have a woman in line soon. If you stay at the villa with his parents, he can comfort you too.”

Han Seong-ho, who came with him to the parking lot, pointed to his car.

Ki-tae's car was a Benz. It's a bit old, but it's something people look up to.

Han Seong-ho gave him the car he had ridden in the past because he doesn't ride now.

“Attorney Han Seong-ho.”

Gi-tae carefully opens his mouth.

“Why but?”

“Why do you care so much about me?”

“Oh, it doesn’t make any sense. Wouldn't a friend like you be a real talent? I remember what you said in your first interview.”

He looked like he was reminiscing as he stroked his chin.

“I want to become a proud lawyer so that my mother at home can live a decent life. That is the goal. That alone can make you, who had excellent grades, ambitious and wonderful. From those words back then, I saw infinite possibilities in you.”

A bright color flashed across Ki-tae's face.

He was always heartbroken. This is because Han Seong-ho, who is called the best lawyer in Korea, seemed to recognize him.

He soon got into his car.

“If there is something complicated, you can take a break. After all, I won one victory today.”

"no. Let's go back to the law firm. I’m still new, so I can’t play.”

“I like that sincerity.”

Seongho raised his finger and pointed at him and smiled. Soon the car he was riding in left.

Han Seong-ho took a cigarette out of his arms and leaned his back against his car.

“On the other hand, the reason I chose you is because you seem to be able to do anything for money. Once they taste money, no one can stop them if they turn into monsters. Whoa.”

He exhaled cigarette smoke into the air.

CEO Park Moon-soo trimmed Tae-hoon's outfit. The badge on his left chest is also trimmed.

“I’m worried.”

"Yes?"

Taehyung made a puzzled expression. Tae-hoon goes to an interview with a public defender. When he says that he is worried, he looks like he is worried that he will fall.

"I'm afraid you'll stick to it. I tried to eat this with you for the rest of your life... … .”

Moonsu smiled playfully as if he was sorry.

“I have to stick with this in order not to be bullied for the rest of my life under CEO Park Moon-soo.”Taehoon, knowing that his words were a joke, smiled.

“Stop the interview!”

“Tell me, interviewer, that your feet stink!”

“Go away, lawyer Kang Tae-hoon!”

Everyone was hoping for their own victory (?). Of course, it was also a joke, and it is true that I have a slightly sad heart.

However, everyone had the same desire for Taehoon to succeed in everything he did.

Soon, Tae-hoon dignifiedly made his way to the office where he would interview public defenders.

The public attorney's office was located in the immediate vicinity of the courthouse.

Tae-hoon, who entered the building and took the elevator to the second floor, followed the instructions of the guide and attached an interview ticket with his face on it.

“You can wait in here.”

"Yes."

Taehyung nodded his head and went inside.

He went inside and widened his eyes.

The men and women who wore the badges of more than 100 lawyers in a place that were likely to be about 40 pyeong were nervous.

Well, it is true that public prosecutors and military judges are popular these days.

Then what would you do?

They are passionate now, and if they pass right away, they will stand up for defense again with tic tic tidiness.

One by one, according to the numbered table, people left the room and moved to the interview room.

“Isn’t this Kang Tae-hoon’s lawyer?”

“Oh, yes.”

Quite a few lawyers recognized Tae-Hoon and greeted him. Although he is a human rights lawyer, Tae-Hoon is quite well-known, so it was only natural for him.

Regardless of their age, they come to each other wanting to build friendships with Tae-hoon.

At that moment, Taehoon's number was called.

'thank God.'

He walked away from them, sighed in relief, and went into the interview room for the public defender.

Taehoon entered him, spread his hands out, his palms facing the floor, and then pointed his right hand at his nose.

it was sign language Tae-hoon learned sign language whenever he had time. This was because state-appointed lawyers also had deaf people as clients.

There were a total of three interviewers, and on the far right was lawyer Kim Han-gi.

'Hello. My name is Tae-Hoon Kang, a lawyer. nice to see you.'

He skillfully unraveled Taehoon's sign language. Oh Tae-jong, an interviewer at the level of the chief judge, who sat in the center, looked puzzled.

“You are very good at sign language.”

Kim Han-gi smiled brightly. Taehoon smiled as if he was satisfied and introduced himself again.

“Currently, my name is Kang Tae-hoon, a lawyer working in Hanmaeum, a public interest lawyer group.”
