I am Mariya Borevich, your personal lawyer. My primary goal is to help clients find optimal solutions to current legal issues, ensuring reliable protection of their interests. I specialize in family, civil, and military law, which allows me to effectively handle a variety of situations and cases. In family law, I provide support in resolving issues related to divorce, property division, establishing and challenging parental rights, alimony, and child custody. I understand that these matters are often emotionally complex, so I always strive to find the most delicate and fair solutions for all parties involved. In civil law, I assist in settling disputes related to contracts, property rights, compensation for damages, inheritance, and other issues concerning the protection of personal and property interests. Special attention is given to military law — supporting servicemen, protecting their rights and interests related to military service, social guarantees, and legal disputes. This area requires deep knowledge and understanding of the specifics of military service and the legislation regulating it.
Legal Case of Mariia Borevych: Challenging the Decision of the Military Medical Commission (MMC) to the Central Military Medical Commission (CMMC) Introduction: Why Military Medical Commissions Are Key to Protecting the Rights of Conscripts
In modern Ukraine, which is under conditions of full-scale war, decisions of military medical commissions (MMC) are critically important for conscripted individuals. They determine the degree of fitness for service, the presence of restrictions, the need for treatment, and even exemption from military service. Often, MMC decisions may be made with violations of legislation, citizens’ rights, or without proper justification. In such situations, filing a complaint to the Central Military Medical Commission (CMMC) is an important option for protection.
One vivid example of effective client rights protection is the case of lawyer Mariia Borevych. Her professional approach and deep knowledge of medical, military, and administrative law allowed her to prepare a legally flawless complaint against the MMC decision within an extremely short period — only three working days.
Problem Statement: Why MMC Decisions Need to Be Challenged
MMC decisions are often made under conditions of limited information and time constraints. Medical documentation may be incomplete, administrative pressure excessive, and expertise superficial. As a result, individuals with genuine medical indications of unfitness or limited fitness for service receive unfavorable conclusions.
Problems clients face include:
- MMC did not consider submitted medical documents;
- The conclusion contradicts existing diagnoses or the actual health condition;
- The MMC procedure was not properly followed (e.g., a specialized doctor was not invited);
- MMC failed to assess the combination of diagnoses and issued a standard, template conclusion;
- Ignoring the Law of Ukraine “On Military Duty and Military Service” and the Regulations on MMC procedures.
Lawyer’s Task
Mariia Borevych faced a specific task: to quickly study the documents provided by the client, assess legal prospects, form a defense position, and prepare a well-founded complaint to the CMMC in full compliance with legal requirements.
Case Implementation Stages
- Initial consultation and case analysis. The lawyer received from the client: the MMC conclusion; medical history and documents; service records (if any); and a statement briefly describing the situation. At this stage, Borevych: conducted legal qualification of circumstances; identified violations of regulatory acts, including the Ministry of Defense Order No. 402; Cabinet Resolution No. 413; Articles 14 and 23 of the Law “On Military Duty and Military Service”; and developed a legal defense plan.
- Analysis of medical documents and formulation of legal position. This stage required cooperation with medical experts. The lawyer: determined which client diagnoses fall within the list of diseases justifying unfitness; established that the MMC disregarded chronic illness progression, rehabilitation after injury, and comorbidities; prepared a medico-legal assessment of the MMC conclusion’s validity.
- Drafting the complaint. Based on collected data, Borevych drafted a legally substantiated complaint to the CMMC, which included: an introductory description of the situation; analysis of violations in the MMC decision; references to legislation and medical standards; evidence supporting the client’s position; and formulation of demands for review of the MMC decision. The complaint was prepared in accordance with the Administrative Code and internal Ministry of Defense regulations, expediting its consideration.
- Filing the complaint on behalf of the client. Importantly, the lawyer not only prepared the documents but also represented the client’s interests before the CMMC. The complaint was submitted within all deadlines and procedures prescribed by current legislation.
- Communication with authorities and further support. After filing the complaint, the lawyer: maintained communication with the CMMC; responded to requests for additional documents; monitored deadlines and recorded actions of authorities for possible further judicial protection.
