Civil Disputes — This Is About Your Money, Property, and Peace of Mind

Property disputes
Debt recovery
Contract disputes
Damage compensation

Civil disputes are conflicts where your money, real estate, or reputation is at stake. A neighbor flooded your apartment and refuses to pay. A debtor disappeared with your funds. An insurance company undervalues your claim. A contractor abandoned unfinished work without returning your advance payment. In such matters, emotions are poor advisors. You need clear calculation and knowledge of procedural traps.

Our approach: Turnkey — from claim to receiving funds

01
Analysis and strategy

We review documents, assess chances, and determine the optimal path: mediation, order proceedings, lawsuit, or formal claim. We calculate economic feasibility.

02
Pre-trial settlement

A formal attorney claim letter is sufficient in 60-70% of cases. If mediation fails — we prepare the claim, gather evidence, file for interim relief (asset freeze).

03
Court proceedings

Representation in local court, appellate and cassation courts. Challenging procedural violations. Motions to expedite proceedings. Electronic proceedings.

04
Judgment enforcement

Receiving the enforcement writ is just the beginning. We work with state and private enforcement officers, search for assets, and achieve actual fund recovery.
