A criminal defence lawyer in Ukraine specialises in Ukrainian criminal law and criminal procedure and holds a valid licence to practise law as an attorney. A criminal lawyer provides legal services and defence representation to individuals in connection with criminal offences.
A criminal defence lawyer is prohibited from disclosing data or other information obtained in connection with the performance of their professional duties as an attorney. Documents relating to the performance of an attorney's professional duties may not be inspected, disclosed, or seized without the attorney's consent.
Categories of criminal cases: murder, war crimes, drug offences, weapons offences, road traffic accidents, vehicle theft, fraud, bribery, smuggling, extortion, theft, armed robbery, robbery, bodily injury, hooliganism, and arson.
A criminal defence lawyer may participate at any stage of criminal proceedings once their involvement has been duly authorised in accordance with the applicable procedural requirements. An investigator, prosecutor, or court must provide assistance in establishing contact with a lawyer or independently ensure the participation of defence counsel in criminal proceedings in cases prescribed by law. Where necessary, we can provide our clients with the services of an English-speaking criminal defence lawyer or arrange professional interpretation in foreign languages for the case.
A separate category of cases involves legal assistance in connection with road traffic accidents and related criminal proceedings. One of the key factors in successfully handling the investigation and court proceedings in a criminal case is an experienced criminal defence lawyer with substantial practical experience and a proven record of successfully handling criminal matters.
