Questions
Before you call, the essentials
Not covered here? Ask an attorney directly during your consultation.
Can you defend me if I am outside Ukraine?
Yes. A defence lawyer can act in the proceedings, review the case file and challenge procedural decisions while you are abroad.
Does Ukraine extradite its own citizens?
No. The Constitution of Ukraine prohibits the extradition of Ukrainian citizens to another state.
Can an Interpol notice be removed?
An application can be made to the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL's Files if the notice is politically motivated or does not meet Interpol's rules.
What should I do if investigators come with a search warrant?
Call your lawyer immediately, do not obstruct the search, ask for a copy of the court ruling and do not sign the record without reading it.
Is everything I tell my lawyer confidential?
Yes. Attorney-client privilege protects all information you share with your lawyer.
Let's put an end to the uncertainty.
Tell us about your matter. An experienced attorney will review it and lay out your options — clearly and in English. We always see the matter through to the end.
