Information for clients

Basically, the client turns to a specialist with a request to provide a service, if possible (time, qualification) by the specialist to provide this service is determined by the fee and then the specialist begins to perform. Basically all services are provided for full prepayment.

No, all specialist consultations in our company are provided on a paid basis in accordance with the tariffs. Our specialists have studied and practiced for many years to gain their knowledge and experience, in this regard, we consider it fair to indicate a fee for a consultation in which the specialist to share their experience and knowledge.

The consultation can be conducted offline (in the office) or online (Call / Viber / WhatsApp / Skype / Zoom / Google meets, etc.). Appointment of the date and time is in communication with a specialist. Payment can be made: in the office, by bank card, PayPal, USDT.

We ask you to do this during business hours (Mon-Fri 9-18). During non-working hours, weekends and holidays, we ask you to address only emergency issues that do not tolerate delays until working hours (detention, accidents, searches, etc).

No, all issues that require a legal view, conclusions, analysis, clarification of the legal framework are discussed with a specialist only in the format of legal advice (online or offline). Chats are created to capture circumstances and facts. Why so? Because sometimes even a technical issue with an incorrect legal assessment, with the wrong reaction, with a “narrow” perception can lead to significant negative consequences. We treat every issue / situation responsibly, so we study everything in detail and give a comprehensive, proper assessment at the consultation. We consider the answer “in a nutshell” to be the wrong format and we recommend avoiding it.

We ask you to understand that in order to answer a simple technical question, a specialist needs to postpone the current lesson, remember the aspects of the case being asked, think about the possible legal consequences and only then give an answer. We do our best to answer questions quickly, but this is often hindered by circumstances: participation in court hearings, searches, registration of road accidents and other urgent measures.

Basically, all draft documents are drawn up in order. This process is also influenced by the overall workload of the specialist and the complexity of the draft document. Typically, this process takes 4-7 working days from the time the fee is paid, all data, information and more are provided to the specialist. If you need expedited compilation, please declare it, use the service “Express preparation of documents” and pay an additional fee for this service.

We ask you to read the draft document carefully and check it. If you find minor inaccuracies to save time, we recommend that you correct them yourself. In case of significant remarks, objections, we ask you to draw up a protocol of remarks / objections, in which you set out in detail all the remarks and objections, then send this document to a specialist. If there are no comments, we recommend that you take the step of using the document.

Basically, all documents that are prepared on behalf of clients are signed and submitted by clients on their own. We have a service for the formation of packages of documents and their submission. In urgent cases, an authorized specialist may sign and submit a document on behalf of the client upon agreement of the text with the client, except for those documents, the signing of which, by virtue of the Law or by virtue of our corporate rules, is exclusively a personal signature of the client. The documents that are basically signed exclusively by the client include: complaints against a judge, a prosecutor, an investigator, a statement of a criminal offense, a statement of claim, a response, a statement of refusal of a claim, a settlement agreement, an appeal and cassation complaints, responses to an appeal and a cassation complaint, etc.

Yes, there is such a possibility. To do this, it is necessary to declare such a desire before starting work, as it requires more work on the part of the specialist (preparation of invoices, acts, inclusion in procedural documents, etc.). Basically, this option adds + 20% to the cost of legal services. Payment in this case is made only to the account of the law firm. There are no guarantees of recovery of these costs or recovery in full, but the probability is almost high.

There are situations when personal participation is mandatory, for example, the court has decided on the mandatory appearance of a person at a court hearing or it is necessary to interrogate a party as a witness. In most cases, attendance is optional and the issue of personal participation is only in the plane of your desire, for example, some people want to go to court because of the desire to control their case and the work of a lawyer in person, or simply because of interest to see how the process goes.

Each court has a page on the Internet where you can find basic information, for example: https://fr.hr.court.gov.ua/sud2033. Similarly, most other bodies are represented on the Internet today.

This information is presented on the following resources: https://court.gov.ua/fair and https://reyestr.court.gov.ua.

Basically, if information about the postponement / cancellation became known at least one day before the day when the corresponding court session (other procedural action) is to take place, the fee is not paid. If such a postponement/cancellation becomes known later than 24 hours, but no later than 1 hour before the start, a fee of 50 percent is paid. In other cases, in particular, if the transfer / cancellation became known later than 1 hour before the start – the fee is paid in full.

Why is that? Because the actions of a specialist begin with a preparation process, no one wants to work with a specialist who does not remember what the case is about, and keeping information on each case in detail is a physiologically impossible process. Also, the specialist reserves his time for the relevant court session (procedural action) and cannot assign other cases at the present time.

Copies of documents, the originals of which you have, must be certified. To do this, write on each page copies of such documents “According to the original”, your name and initials, date of certification and your signature.

The e-court allows participants in court proceedings to submit documents to the court in electronic form, as well as to send such participants in procedural documents in electronic form in parallel with documents in paper form in accordance with procedural law. You can register at the link: https://id.court.gov.ua.

No, usually any action has a clearly defined procedural term, the omission of which usually leads to the loss of the relevant right.

We categorically do not recommend leaving your litigation unattended and letting it drift. However, if this happened, we recommend that you at least draw up a petition for consideration of the case in the absence of the plaintiff. The court may refuse to satisfy this petition and leave the claim without consideration in the event of the plaintiff’s failure to appear (as a rule, two failures to appear at the court session).

Unfortunately, today in the courts violation of procedural deadlines is a very common phenomenon. Therefore, if it is in your best interest to assert your rights to a trial within a reasonable time, we recommend that you appear in court each time and demonstrate this, otherwise the practice of adjournment may develop to a significant extent.

There are three ways. The first is sending documents by mail. It is recommended to use only Ukrposhta and send by registered mail by courier with a notice of delivery and a certificate of description. The second is the submission directly to the body (authorized person). In this case, you should have another copy of the document, which should be submitted with attachments (if any), which after receipt will be marked with acceptance with the date and usually the signature of the person and the seal. The third way is to use electronic filing if it is provided, for example, through the e-Court system.

After that, submit the required number of copies of the statement of claim together with the appendices and the statement on securing the claim with the appendices (if any) to the court.

Save the receipt and consignment note. If you are going to apply directly to the Kharkiv court office, bring your copy of the statement of claim with you, so that the office can put a mark on it stating that your documents have been accepted. After filing a lawsuit, please send a photo of the receipts from the Ukrainian Post Office or a photo of the claim page marked with the office in this chat.

Quite often there are situations when, for various reasons, the planned action may not take place or may not go according to plan. For example, the court session will not take place because the judge is ill. The plaintiff’s side ensures that the witnesses appear in court, they skip work to find out about the hospital judge in court and just go about their business, wasting time. It is also not rare that certain aspects need to be focused on and reminded of. For example, a request for participation in the format of a video conference was submitted, but due to the busyness of the court, it was ignored. As a result, the party is waiting for the start of the court session online, and it is delayed due to non-appearance because the court was expecting the party in the courtroom.

In particular, in order to avoid or try to reduce the influence of such factors, the “support” service was created. Our specialists are trying to contact the agency conducting the action, get updates, find out relevant information, remind certain working moments, etc. Of course, this is not a 100% guarantee of avoiding adverse consequences, but in practice it is an effective safeguard against them.
