Services of a civil law attorney from the Law Firm «Nakaz”

Three reasons why a lawyer’s assistance is necessary at all stages of dispute resolution:

1. A civil dispute can arise for anyone, since we encounter this type of legal relations every day. When a dispute arises, you assess the situation from the standpoint of morality, emotions and justice. Your view, in this case, may not coincide with that of the legislator. A civil lawyer will evaluate the real prospects and possible outcome of the case. Only then will you be able to make the right decision about your further actions so as not to worsen the situation.
2. Given the large volume of possible civil cases, you should understand that there is no single consolidated act that would regulate your situation. You will have to review hundreds of pages of legislative acts to prepare a small statement to a bank of only up to 3 pages. A lawyer in the civil process will be able to operate with the maximum possible theoretical basis to protect your interests.
3. Even if you manage to obtain compensation for material damage, considering the time and moral (and sometimes material) costs for various proceedings, moral compensation would be very appropriate. But in Ukraine this type of compensation is not as common as abroad. There are no clear guidelines on how to substantiate and prove the need for moral damage compensation. Therefore, it is often very difficult to do. Civil attorneys possess real practical experience that will allow them to maximize your chances.
