Legal assistance of lawyers in criminal cases in Kyiv
The Right to Protection Law Firm offers its clients qualified assistance in criminal cases in Kyiv. Whichever side you are on in the process, thanks to the services of an experienced criminal lawyer, you will have a chance to protect your rights and freedoms, avoiding violations by investigative and judicial authorities. Over the years, our specialists have helped to save many clients from unjustified convictions, as well as ensure that the court delivered guilty verdicts in criminal cases in which our clients acted as plaintiffs. We work with various categories of cases, including administrative cases reclassified as criminal cases, as well as appeals against court verdicts.
Participation in proceedings related to law enforcement agencies is extremely frightening for most citizens, which is not surprising given the consequences that may arise in the event of an unfavorable verdict. Indeed, unlike civil cases, where the maximum penalty is usually a fine or restriction of rights, a criminal case, especially if you do not have a lawyer to defend you in court, can result in imprisonment. However, there is no need to panic ahead of time – if there is an opportunity to avoid detention or mitigate the sentence, our criminal lawyer will take advantage of it.
By the way, not only the defendant or the plaintiff, but also witnesses may need the help of a criminal lawyer. If you don’t want to face the arbitrariness of officials and become an accused, it makes sense to play it safe and enlist professional legal support. Moreover, by cooperating with our firm, the services of a criminal lawyer in Kyiv will cost you a moderate amount, and the result will be even better than you could have expected.
Who is a criminal defense lawyer and what are his or her powers?
Criminal cases, both private and public prosecution, are necessarily considered in court, which implies that each participant has a qualified defense counsel. Given the complexity of the trial, in this case, you need a criminal defense lawyer who understands criminal law and can adequately represent your client, whether a victim, accused or witness. Ideally, you should hire a certified lawyer at an early stage of the proceedings, as their assistance will be much more effective than if you take care of the defense after the verdict is reached.
According to the current legislation, a criminal defense lawyer in Kyiv can be appointed by an investigator in case of an accident, fraud or other crime. However, it is risky to use the services of a public defender – they have no interest in defending your rights and seek to close the case as soon as possible, regardless of how it ends for you. It is equally dangerous to refuse the assistance of a criminal defense lawyer altogether, because it is impossible to develop and implement a successful defense strategy without highly specialized knowledge and skills. The only right decision would be to hire a competent criminal lawyer from a trusted company, such as the Right to Protection Law Firm.
The range of services and powers of a criminal defense lawyer in Kyiv is quite extensive, in particular, he or she can
– get access to all case materials;
– Participate in investigative activities, including interrogations, experiments and searches, which are attended by his client
– Provide legal advice in criminal cases, without any restrictions on the duration of conversations and without the presence of observers from law enforcement agencies;
– search for and collect evidence that may influence the court’s decision;
– draft and submit documents on behalf of their client;
– participate in court hearings and voice arguments in favor of confirming the words of their client;
– appeal against the verdict and take measures aimed at re-examination of the case;
– file petitions related to improving the conditions of detention of a detainee in a pre-trial detention center or a prisoner while serving a sentence in prison.
It is the professionalism and experience of the lawyer providing defense in a criminal case that determines whether the accused will be convicted or acquitted, what punishment he or she will receive, and what damage the victims will have to compensate.
