Comprehensive Defense In Criminal Cases
Criminal proceedings in Ukraine are not a formality, but a real risk to freedom, reputation, and property, both for any citizen and for business as a whole. The first hours after being summoned for questioning, searched, or served with a notice of suspicion are crucial: this is when your further procedural position is established. Without professional support, it is easy to lose evidence, give incomplete or unnecessary explanations, and miss important procedural deadlines. Comprehensive defense involves the immediate involvement of a criminal lawyer in Ukraine at any stage of criminal proceedings. Effective defense combines knowledge of the Criminal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure with the practice of their application in real cases. A clear strategy from the very beginning minimizes risks and lays the groundwork for further consideration of the case in court.
Persha Yuridichna Law Firm provides reliable, professional, and confidential defense in criminal cases of any complexity. Our criminal defense attorneys have been successfully defending clients since 2008, providing comprehensive support from the first days of the pre-trial investigation to the final court instances. Clients who are outside Ukraine also receive full protection: we represent your interests in Ukraine and keep in touch with you online.
The criminal lawyers at “First Legal” defend clients at all stages of the criminal process:
- Participation in the pre-trial investigation stage. The lawyer participates in investigative actions (interrogations, searches, etc.), monitoring compliance with your rights, submitting necessary motions and complaints (for example, regarding a change in preventive measures) and developing an effective strategy for your defense;
- Legal representation in the court of first instance. We provide defense for the defendant in the court of first instance. We carefully prepare for each hearing: we examine the case materials, interrogate witnesses, and challenge inadmissible evidence presented by the prosecution. In court debates, we present convincing arguments in your defense and defend your rights and freedoms.
- Appeal against the court’s verdict. If the verdict is unfair, we will prepare a well-founded appeal. We analyze the court’s decision, find errors or violations, and set them out in the appeal. We represent your interests in the court of appeal, seeking to overturn or change the verdict of the court of first instance.
- Cassation appeal of the court verdict. We provide defense in the Supreme Court (cassation instance). We prepare a cassation appeal, detailing the incorrect application of the law or errors made by the court. We represent your interests in cassation proceedings and insist on a fair decision.
In addition to defending suspects and defendants, our criminal lawyers represent victims and witnesses when necessary, helping them to defend their legal rights and obtain compensation for damages in Ukraine.
