Search Response
Release from Detention
White-Collar Crime
In Criminal Proceedings the First 24 Hours Decide Everything
Under psychological pressure, after hours of interrogation, people make fatal mistakes — sign confessions, testify against themselves, agree to a "plea deal". The golden rule: "Stay silent. Call your attorney. Stay silent."
Criminal defense attorneys O'LAW in Lviv work proactively. We dismantle prosecution scenarios, find procedural violations, and get clients released from custody. From search to the last word in court. Current as of 2026.
Case Categories Where We Are Essential
White-Collar Crime
Tax evasion (Art. 212 CC), negligence in office (Art. 367), abuse of office (Art. 364), fraud (Art. 190). Defense of businesses and officials against BEB and prosecutor pressure.
Drug Offenses (Art. 307-309)
Police often provoke crimes or falsify weights. We attack the chain of custody, challenge legality of seizure, commission independent expert assessment.
General Criminal
Theft (Art. 185), robbery (Art. 186), bodily harm (Art. 121-122), traffic accidents with victims (Art. 286). Fighting for reclassification, acquittal, or mitigation.
Military Offenses
Unauthorized absence from unit (Art. 407), failure to follow orders (Art. 403). Specialized defense of military personnel in military courts and before command.
Preventive Measures: From Detention to Bail
O'LAW attorney applies for the mildest preventive measure — or changes the one already imposed:
Pre-trial Detention
Full isolation. Difficult to prepare defense. We fight for change at first hearings
Bail / House Arrest
Restricted freedom without isolation. You remain home and can participate in defense
Personal Undertaking
No isolation or monetary bail. Goal: prove the person is not evading justice
Our Work Process
01
Emergency Response (24/7)
We block unlawful actions during search, prepare for first interrogation, explain rights and strategy.
02
Investigation
We challenge the suspicion, apply to change preventive measure (detention → bail/house arrest), analyze case materials for procedural violations.
03
Court Proceedings
We dismantle prosecution evidence, have it declared inadmissible (Art. 87 CPC), cross-examine witnesses, file motions.
04
Appeal and Cassation
We challenge the verdict at the appellate court and Supreme Court. If the court committed violations — we correct them at the higher instance.
5 Fatal Mistakes During Detention
- Gave statements "to explain the situation". The investigator records every word — it then becomes evidence
- Signed the search report "to get it over with". Signature = confirmation of the legality of every investigator's action
- Agreed to a plea deal under pressure. Guilty plea excludes acquittal in court
- Did not demand the court order for search. Search without order is illegal — all evidence is inadmissible
- Refused an attorney "to not look guilty". Absence of attorney is not a sign of good faith — it is a loss of rights
