Our Legal Services
01
Criminal Defense
When you are facing criminal charges in Korea, the stakes could not be higher. A conviction can mean prison time, deportation, or a permanent record that follows you for life. Attorney Soobin You is a former Korean prosecutor who spent years on the other side of the courtroom — which means she knows exactly how investigators build their cases, what evidence they rely on, and how to dismantle their arguments. She handles the full range of criminal matters including DUI, refusal to take a breathalyzer test, drug offenses, sexual crimes, illegal filming, assault, and fraud. Whether you need representation at the investigation stage, trial, or appeal, Attorney You will fight for the best possible outcome from day one.
02
Immigration & Visa Issues
Living in Korea as a foreigner comes with a unique set of legal risks that many people don’t fully understand until it’s too late. Overstaying your visa, even unintentionally, can result in heavy fines, deportation, and a re-entry ban lasting up to ten years. In serious cases, criminal charges under Korea’s Immigration Control Act may also apply — turning what started as an administrative issue into a full criminal matter. Attorney Soobin You handles immigration violation cases regularly, including deportation defense, entry ban appeals, and criminal charges arising from immigration law breaches. If you have received a notice from immigration authorities or are concerned about your visa status, contact her immediately.
03
Family & Divorce
Going through a divorce or custody dispute in a foreign country is one of the most stressful experiences a person can face. Language barriers, unfamiliar legal procedures, and cultural differences can make an already difficult situation feel overwhelming. Attorney Soobin You provides clear, English-language guidance to foreigners navigating Korea’s family court system. She handles divorce proceedings, division of assets, child custody disputes, child support, and other family law matters with professionalism and care. Whether you are the one initiating the divorce or responding to a petition, she will make sure your rights and interests are fully protected throughout the process.
04
Civil, Administrative & Contract Matters
Not every legal issue in Korea involves a criminal charge or a family dispute — but that doesn’t make it any less serious. Contract disagreements, property disputes, administrative appeals, and civil lawsuits can have major financial and personal consequences if not handled properly. Attorney Soobin You has successfully represented clients in civil litigation, building possession claims, and administrative proceedings. She also provides contract review and legal advisory services for foreigners doing business or signing agreements in Korea. Whatever your civil or administrative matter, she can help you understand your position under Korean law and take the right steps to protect your interests.
