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.
In the social protection system in Ukraine, pension recalculation may become necessary for various reasons. This process may be triggered by changes in legislation, improvements in pension calculation conditions, or other reasons.
