Hello! My name is Kyrylo Tomakh, I am a practicing lawyer and co-founder of the law firm DKVA Legal Group. For over 3 years, I have been helping clients protect their rights, find solutions to complex legal situations, and successfully resolve disputes both pre-trial and in court.
Obtaining a Mobilization Deferral — Full Legal Support from Document Preparation to Final Result in "Reserv+"
In 2024, a client approached me — he was the half-brother of a fallen serviceman. His goal was to obtain a lawful deferral from mobilization, as provided by Article 23 of the Law of Ukraine “On Mobilization Preparation and Mobilization.” The main issue was the lack of proper supporting documents at the time of the request and the difficulty of communication with the territorial recruitment center.
The client had not received an official notification of his brother’s death, which made obtaining a deferral impossible. Only after I submitted an attorney’s request was the family officially issued the necessary notification. Together, we gathered a complete set of documents, including the death certificate, a statement from the military unit, and confirmation of the family relationship.
What Steps Help You Obtain a Deferral?
- Legal analysis of the case and verification of deferral grounds. Reviewing the family situation, relationship to the fallen serviceman, cause of death, and availability of supporting documents.
- Obtaining confirming documents via attorney request. Submitting an official request to the military unit and relevant authorities to obtain the missing death notification.
- Preparation of the full document package. All necessary documents were collected: death certificate, official statements, Unified State Register excerpts, confirmation of kinship, etc.
- Submission to the TRC and accompaniment. Personal escort of the client to the Territorial Recruitment Center, verification of proper document filing, and legal support on site.
