When Law Enforcement Knocks — You Have Rights. We Will Make Them Respect Them

The stress of a search shuts down your ability to think. Investigators know this and use it. They pressure, intimidate, and force you to sign protocols that will later become your verdict. Without an attorney you are alone against the system.

O'LAW attorneys in Lviv are your emergency button. We arrive at the scene in Lviv and the region immediately. We know how to turn an aggressive law enforcement raid into a dry procedural action. Current as of 2026.

Your Rights During Detention and Search (CPC, Constitution)

  • Right to silence — Art. 63 Constitution, Art. 42 CPC: no one is obliged to testify against themselves
  • Right to an attorney — from the first minute of detention (Art. 42, 46 CPC): denial of legal counsel is a violation
  • Right to one call — to notify relatives of detention
  • Right to know the reason for detention — Art. 208 CPC: without explanation — unlawful detention
  • Right not to provide passwords — Art. 63 Constitution: phone/computer passwords need not be disclosed
  • Right to demand court order — Art. 234 CPC: search without investigating judge order is illegal
72

Critical Deadline: 72 Hours

Maximum detention period without serving suspicion notice (Art. 211 CPC). After 72 hours — investigator must either serve suspicion or release. If deadline violated — O'LAW attorney immediately files motion for release. Also within 60 hours — court must be petitioned for a preventive measure.

Emergency Services (Response 24/7)

Attorney at Search

We record every action on camera. Block seizure of items not listed in the court order. Enter critical objections in the protocol. Verify that investigator actions comply with the court order — any excess = inadmissible evidence.

Defense During Detention

Demand immediate release if 72 hours pass without suspicion notice. Monitor lawfulness of force applied. Prepare for interrogation — define strategy: silence, testimony, or partial testimony. Prevent unlawful pressure at police station.

Return of Seized Property

Remove arrest from vehicles, equipment, cash through court. File complaint with investigating judge (Art. 303 CPC) — court reviews within 72 hours. Force investigators to return everything seized illegally or without connection to the case.

Interrogation Preparation

First interrogation without an attorney — the biggest mistake. We explain your rights, determine the correct position (silence or testimony), analyze documents presented to you. Your first statements are the foundation of the entire case.

What Investigators Are NOT Allowed to Do

  • Conduct search without investigating judge order — Art. 234 CPC (exception: flagrant offence)
  • Seize items not specified in the order — all excess must be returned or becomes grounds for complaint
  • Deny attorney access — Art. 46 CPC: attorney has the right to be present at any investigative action
  • Seize attorney materials — attorney-client privilege is absolute (Art. 22 Law "On Bar")
  • Use violence or threats — Art. 127 CC (torture) + complaint to prosecutor and court
  • Hold without notifying relatives — right to one call guaranteed by CPC
