Trust and professionalism. Your reliable partner in resolving criminal matters.
Defense during the pre-trial investigation and in courts of all instances. Involving a lawyer early is the best defense strategy.
I help people defend their rights in courts across Ukraine. I work honestly: I explain the case's prospects and the full cost before starting any work.
The exact cost of handling your case can only be determined after a consultation.
A minor was charged under Part 2 of Article 121 of the Criminal Code (causing grievous bodily harm); the indictment contained numerous violations of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC): no clear wording, inaccuracies about the circumstances, time, and place.
The lawyer prepared a motion to return the indictment to the prosecutor due to non-compliance with Article 291 of the CPC, plus a motion to lift the seizure of property.
The court returned the indictment to the prosecutor to correct the defects. The client avoided having the case heard in that form.
Case in the register ↗The client was sentenced to 7 years under Part 2 of Article 121 of the Criminal Code. The court merely repeated the wording of the indictment, in violation of Article 374 of the CPC.
The lawyer filed an appeal, proving material violations of procedural law and of the principle of directness in examining evidence.
The court of appeal overturned the verdict and ordered a new hearing. The client avoided serving the 7-year sentence pending the new proceedings.
Case in the register ↗After the verdict was overturned, the case was sent back for a new hearing; the client again faced a risk of an actual prison term under Part 2 of Article 121 of the Criminal Code.
The lawyer analyzed the prosecution's earlier mistakes and filed a series of motions to protect the client's rights.
The case was accepted for hearing taking into account the appellate court's findings — the defense has a chance to influence the outcome.
Case in the register ↗A financially liable person was convicted of misappropriating funds; the defense pointed to the inadmissibility and incompleteness of the evidence.
Appeals were filed arguing that intent was not proven, that the inventory procedure was flawed, and that there was no direct evidence.
The 3-year prison sentence was overturned due to material violations; a new hearing was ordered.
Case in the register ↗The defendant was considered involved in submitting false data to register a legal entity; the court imposed a fine and a ban on certain activities.
The lawyer challenged the insufficiency of evidence of the client's direct involvement and procedural violations by the prosecution.
The appeal was partially granted: the client was released from punishment due to the expiry of the limitation period.
Case in the register ↗You submit a request through the website form or a messenger, or call me directly.
At the consultation you describe your situation, I review the materials, form a position, and advise on the next steps.
We sign a legal services agreement — and get to work.
Answer. You have the right to know the reason for the detention, the right to a lawyer and confidential communication with them, the right not to testify against yourself or your relatives, and the right to require a report (protocol) to be drawn up. Without a lawyer, it is better to refrain from giving explanations.
Answer. Stay calm and use your right to a lawyer. Do not give explanations without your lawyer present and do not try to "prove your innocence" yourself when talking to the investigator. The lawyer will build a defense position and gather evidence in your favor.
Answer. Answer clearly and only the questions asked; you have the right to decline to answer questions that could testify against you. Give all explanations in the presence of your lawyer. Do not sign the report (protocol) if it does not match what you said.
Answer. A person serving a sentence of imprisonment is not subject to mobilization. Mobilization is only possible after serving the sentence and after the criminal record is expunged or spent, provided there are no other restrictions.
Answer. Demand to see the court order and check its details. Call a lawyer, record the actions of law enforcement officers on video, read the report (protocol) carefully before signing, and require that any objections be noted if there were violations.
Answer. Yes, in many cases this is possible if there are grounds provided for by the Criminal Procedure Code (changed circumstances, health condition, bail, etc.). A motion with proper evidence must be filed; the lawyer will prepare the documents and represent your interests in court.
Answer. Contact a lawyer immediately and do not sign any documents without reading them first. You have the right to review the materials of the suspicion notice and submit your own evidence. Early involvement of a lawyer helps avoid serious mistakes.
Answer. At the first consultation (up to 20 minutes) we will go through your situation in detail. I will review the documents, honestly assess the case's prospects, and suggest a concrete step-by-step plan of action. You will get clarity, even if you decide not to continue working with me.
Answer. The first consultation is free. The cost of further services depends on how complex the case is. I always state the full, transparent cost before starting any work. No hidden fees.
Answer. No professional attorney can promise a 100% win, since the decision is made by the court. What I do promise is a thorough analysis of the case, my full effort, complete confidentiality, and the use of all my experience to protect your interests.
Answer. Completely. Everything you discuss with me is protected by attorney–client privilege from the first second of our conversation — even during the free consultation. This is an inviolable rule of the profession.
