FAQ

HOW TO CHOOSE A GOOD LAWYER FOR A CRIMINAL CASE?

Pay attention to experience, client reviews, and specialization. It's important that the lawyer is prepared to represent you at all stages of the case—from interrogation to trial.

WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE NEEDED TO FILE A FAMILY DISPUTE CLAIM IN COURT?

For divorce, alimony, or property division, you'll need a passport, marriage certificate, property documents, receipts, and bank statements. The full list depends on the situation.

HOW TO CONTEST A WILL AND INHERIT AN INHERITANCE IF THERE ARE DISPUTES?

If you believe a will is invalid, you can appeal to the court, proving the testator's incapacity or pressure. You can also declare the heir unworthy.

HOW TO CORRECTLY DRAFT A REAL ESTATE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT TO AVOID RISKS?

The contract must include all important terms: price, terms, rights, and obligations of the parties. Be sure to verify the legal status of the property before the transaction.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU FACE DEPORTATION OR RESIDENCE PERMIT DENIED?

In such cases, it is important to act quickly: appeal the decision in court, gather additional documents, and contact an immigration lawyer. 

HOW DOES DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS AND PROPERTY DIVISION WORK IN COURT?

If there are disputes, the divorce proceeds through the courts. Property is divided equally, but nuances (children, loans, and contributions to the purchase) are taken into account. The process can take from one to six months.

Olga Chernuhina
Lawyer, member of the Bar Association "Guild of Moscow Lawyers" Burdelov and Partners"
"Don't communicate with amateurs, communicate with professionals. Jurisprudence is like plastic surgery - full of people who want to make money and few real specialists. It's better to do it right the first time than to redo it and overpay for something that was done poorly. Lawyers who have less than 10 years of experience and low qualifications appear when you have problems and the longer your problems are not solved, the more profitable it is for them. I work not for the process, but for the result. When I take on cases, I bring them to a positive result!"
