CRIMINAL LAWYER according to Article 149, 303 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

The lawyer Alexander Nikolaevich Evsutin and other lawyers - partners of the Bureau specialize in criminal law and criminal proceedings related to charges of trafficking in human beings, illegal transactions with people and other related crimes.

We have extensive practice with positive results in this category of cases. In almost all cases of this category, we found a compromise in court and sought to either release our clients or obtain short prison sentences below the lower limit (1 year or 1.5 years l / s), if that suited our client. Also in cases of this category there are great chances to seek an acquittal.

Our lawyers have extensive experience in protecting citizens in criminal proceedings in these categories of cases, both at the stages of pre-trial investigation, and in courts of both local levels, and in appeals and cassation courts.

Many lawyers previously worked as investigators and prosecutors, they know all the secrets of the work of these units, and are able to use their knowledge to protect our Trustees.

Managing partner of the Bureau, lawyer A. Evsutin He has personally been involved in the fight against human trafficking since 2005, he led this special topic in the implementation of prosecutorial supervision, working in the prosecutor's office for 2 years and supervising the departments of the UBTPL, the Organized Crime Control Department and the Gobkop USBU investigating cases of this category. Since 2007, he has been conducting personal law practice in these cases, using the accumulated experience.

Law enforcement officers in most cases provoke future suspects to take certain actions to relocate the girls, specially creating the conditions for their accusation. However, the corpus delicti of these articles is very peculiar and actually difficult to prove. We recommend that you do not testify without consulting an experienced lawyer specializing in this category of cases.
