CRIMINAL LAW practice
I handle exclusively criminal cases. This focus allows me to develop deep expertise in criminal procedure and investigative practice, and to give maximum attention to clients' cases in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.
Crimes Against the Person
Defense in cases involving offenses against life, health, freedom, and human dignity.
I work on behalf of the accused and suspects, and in some cases represent the interests of victims. I pay particular attention to analyzing initial case materials, witness statements, and possible procedural violations.
Crimes Against Property and Economic Offenses
Criminal cases involving theft, fraud, embezzlement, robbery, and other offenses against property, as well as select categories of economic crimes.
In such cases it is essential to understand the actual business context. The defense's task is to present the court with a complete picture of events and achieve the greatest possible mitigation of legal consequences.
Drug Offenses and Crimes Against Public Health
Cases involving the illegal trafficking of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, as well as other offenses against public health.
In this category, the circumstances of arrest, searches, and forensic examinations are especially significant. Defense is built on a thorough review of the legality of law enforcement actions and the evidentiary basis.
Traffic Accident and Road Safety Cases
Criminal cases arising from traffic accidents that caused serious consequences for road users.
In such cases it is important to accurately reconstruct the events, assess the findings of automotive technical expert examinations, and review eyewitness accounts. In some situations, expert conclusions are of key importance.
Offenses Against Public Safety, Order, and Authority
Cases involving violations of public order, mass public events, and crimes against state authority.
What matters here are the circumstances of the arrest, the reliability of the collected evidence, and the conduct of law enforcement officers. The defense's task is to secure the most balanced approach from the court.
Rights of Children, Family, and Sexual Integrity
Criminal cases involving the rights and legitimate interests of minors, family members, and matters of sexual integrity.
This category requires an especially sensitive approach, strict respect for privacy, and an understanding of the psychological aspects of the case. I work carefully with both the legal side and the family.
What Stages I Can Join
I can join a case at any stage of the criminal process:
Pre-Investigation Inquiry
Verification of a report of a possible crime and initial actions.
Arrest and Preventive Measures
Involvement at arrest, and the selection or modification of preventive measures.
Preliminary Investigation
Defense during the investigation and inquiry stage.
Trial Proceedings
Representing interests and working with evidence at the trial court.
Appeal and Cassation
Challenging court decisions, up to and including the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.
Sentence Execution
Parole, replacement of punishment with a more lenient form, supervision, and release due to illness.
