Retainer agreements can be signed electronically with no office visit required.

Question 8

What should I do if I am arrested or summoned by police in Korea?

Accepted Answer

Do not make any statement without first consulting an attorney. You have the right to have a lawyer present during all police and prosecutor interrogations in Korea. Contact Attorney Doyun Lee immediately at dylee@newlawyer.co.kr — mark your subject line URGENT. Statements made without counsel become part of the official record and are very difficult to retract.

Question 11

Do I need a lawyer or an administrative agent for a Korean visa problem?

Accepted Answer

An administrative agent (행정사) can handle routine visa paperwork, but when a visa denial, change of status, deportation, or travel ban is tied to a criminal case, divorce, or a disputed fact, you need a licensed attorney. A criminal charge can trigger visa cancellation or deportation, so the criminal and immigration issues must be handled together. Attorney Doyun Lee reviews both in English. Email dylee@newlawyer.co.kr.

Question 12

Can a foreign tenant recover a jeonse or monthly deposit in Korea?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Foreign tenants have the same rights as Korean tenants.

Attorney Doyun Lee assists foreign tenants with deposit recovery and lease disputes in English and Chinese.

Question 13

How does divorce in Korea affect my visa as a foreigner?

Accepted Answer

For a marriage-migrant (F-6) spouse, divorce can affect your right to remain in Korea, and whether you keep residency often depends on who is found responsible for the marriage breakdown, child custody, and property division.
