Seven years in the court system have given me a deep understanding of the specifics of each case, procedural requirements and the criteria for assessing evidence. In civil, criminal and commercial cases, I offer my clients not false promises but objective legal analysis, a precise strategy and representation of the highest standard within the law.

Common questions
How does the first consultation work?
I listen, look at your documents and explain the possible routes, the risks and rough timelines. We can meet at the office, by phone or online.
How are fees set?
Fees depend on the complexity and scope of the case. The amount and payment terms are set out in a written contract before work begins.
Can you guarantee the outcome?
No advocate can guarantee a court’s decision, and the Bar’s rules of conduct forbid promising one. My commitment is to prepare the case carefully, be open about the risks and defend your position at every stage.
Will my information stay confidential?
Yes. Everything about your enquiry and your case is covered by advocate–client privilege and protected by law.
I am a foreigner. Can you help me?
Yes. I advise in English and Russian and help with registration, residence permits, buying property, and dealings with the police and courts.
