Our experience allows us to respond quickly to violations by law enforcement agencies and effectively protect our clients' rights at the pre-trial investigation stage.

Pre-trial appeals allow you to respond quickly to illegal actions or inaction by law enforcement agencies in criminal proceedings.

Consultant's lawyers professionally accompany the appeal process, from preparing the complaint to representing you in court.
Appealing the inaction of an investigator or prosecutor: when and how to act
One of the most common requests in criminal proceedings is to appeal against the inaction of an investigator or prosecutor. Such inaction may manifest itself in:
- failure to enter information into the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations;
- delaying investigative actions;
- refusal to grant motions or provide access to materials;
- failure to comply with the rulings of the investigating judge.
Consultant's lawyers quickly prepare complaints in accordance with the requirements of Article 303 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine and accompany the client in court, where it is necessary to prove the illegality of actions or inaction.
Appealing the closure of criminal proceedings: restoring justice
Closing proceedings without a full investigation is a gross violation of the rights of victims or the defence.
We help clients appeal the closure of criminal proceedings for the following reasons:
- lack of evidence of a crime without proper investigation;
- formal grounds for closure;
- attempts to avoid bringing the guilty parties to justice.
We not only appeal the decisions of the investigator or prosecutor, but also prove in court the need to reopen the investigation.
Complaint to the investigating judge in criminal proceedings: quick response
If the prosecutor does not respond to complaints or is himself the subject of the violation, the best option is to file a complaint with the investigating judge. This allows you to:
- require information to be entered into the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations;
- appeal against unlawful inaction;
- defend the right to participate in the proceedings (for example, as a victim or defence counsel);
- reopen the investigation after the unlawful closure of the case.
Consultant's lawyers competently formulate the legal position, quickly file a complaint and accompany the client in the court of first instance.
