Marriage relations are a sensitive area of life for Russian citizens. The spouses resolve misunderstandings within the family circle, and unresolved problems accumulate and develop into confrontations. The divorce procedure is associated with emotional turmoil and the reluctance of the parties to make mutual concessions. The complexities of family law disputes involve the complex process of collecting and classifying evidence, as well as the proper presentation of materials in court.
With the death of a husband or wife, the relationship automatically ends, but financial and property issues remain unresolved.

Migration legislation has become more stringent, so cases of expulsion of foreign citizens or stateless persons from the territory of the Russian Federation have become more frequent. To avoid forced deportation, you will need to familiarize yourself with the current legislative regulations and the procedure for legal stay in the country. Professional lawyers of the “Zashchitnik” Legal Center will take care of providing advice on compliance with current regulations. The procedure for deporting persons who have violated the deadlines or regulations for staying in Russia is launched after the adoption of the appropriate court order. Employees of the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs dealing with migration issues are authorized to execute court verdicts.
It is not permitted to apply deportation sanctions to those who:
A set of regulations and accompanying documentation from 2019 initiated changes in the time spent on Russian soil, as well as simplification of the established procedure for obtaining a residence permit and citizenship. The basis for applying the provisions of the law is a marriage with a Russian citizen that lasted for at least 3 years. Expedited processing of documents applies to migrants who do not need to reside continuously for 5 years to obtain a residence permit. Additional benefits speed up and simplify the formal process previously in place. Amendments to Law No. 62-FZ took place on December 27, 2018, and entered into force on March 29, 2019. The updated document numbered 544-FZ corrects Article 14 Part 8 and 29 Part 1.
The President of the Russian Federation is given the exclusive right to determine the categories of migrants who are entitled to receive preferential conditions when not needed:
If a person does not have any civil status, then this means that there is no party who is obliged to accept the deported person. The decision of the judicial authority is in the format of life imprisonment. Such verdicts may be considered too harsh to be reviewed on appeal. Appeals against decisions are possible within a 10-day period after the official announcement. The assistance of a practicing lawyer from the “Zashchitnik” Legal Center is intended to provide the court with a convincing argument that the decision is unfounded.
The professional lawyers of the Legal Center “Defender” have many years of experience in resolving disputes in migration law. The client will receive comprehensive answers to questions, detailed legal explanations and recommendations regarding the use of winning tactics in the courtroom. Legal representation will protect the defendant, preserve reputation, and help counter bias and abuse by government agencies.
Deportation requirements apply to foreign nationals who:
Sanctions are applied voluntarily, as well as forcibly, when the perpetrator is expelled from the country under escort. If the maximum stay period has expired, then within a three-day period the foreign citizen must independently cross the state border. Violation of legal requirements may result in placement in a special detention center, where the foreigner will await a final court decision. When permits are canceled for justified reasons, 15 days remain for voluntary departure outside the Russian Federation.
Violators of the law are tried in accordance with standard administrative or criminal proceedings. Punishment is imposed in accordance with the severity of the offense committed. After serving the required prison or suspended sentence, the convicted foreigner is deported from the country. Employees of the “Defender” Legal Center will help those accused of violating the rules of stay set out in Article 18.8 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
As part of legal representation, experienced lawyers initiate:
The deported person is given an entry restriction ranging from 3-5 years. In some circumstances, the offender is not informed of the ban period. When attempting to cross the border, such a foreigner faces the consequences of sanctions. Upon arrival or arrival in Russia, the person is again expelled from the country. To avoid such misunderstandings and unforeseen financial expenses, it is important to contact the center’s lawyers in advance, who will provide comprehensive information about the client’s status and special conditions for staying in the Russian Federation. At the request of a lawyer, legal experts request information held by the border service, as well as the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Employees of the Legal Center “Defender” will deal with the legal formalities and features of the incident, and offer solutions.
Deportation is carried out at the expense of:
Some Russians, experiencing inconvenience due to the illegal presence of illegal immigrants, report the whereabouts of such persons to law enforcement agencies. The legislation provides for an arbitrary written application, which does not require the signature of the applicant. This method is designed to protect the interests of a citizen who is concerned about his own well-being. You will be required to present your passport when submitting a complaint. The text of the appeal details the circumstances, known names of the perpetrators and details of the violation.
It is possible to avoid deportation if you comply with legal justifications that allow you to remain on the territory of Russia. The presence of justifiable cause does not automatically guarantee the charges will be dismissed. You will need to use the services of professional lawyers who will collect a package of documents, draw up and file an appeal. During the court hearing, authorized representatives will file petitions, take part in debates, and present convincing evidence - grounds for the legal reversal of the verdict of the trial court. Employees of the “Defender” Legal Center will monitor the collection of objective evidence in the case and compliance with the filing deadlines, as well as the stage-by-stage consideration of the appeal.
Deportation is subject to cancellation when the following reasons exist:
For minor migration registration offenses, punishment has become more severe. Penalties are designed to prevent repeated incidents and discipline foreign citizens. Those who work without official permission face a fine of up to 7,000 rubles, in addition to deportation outside the country. Instead of direct deportation, a foreign national will face administrative deportation, which is not much better than the standard deportation procedure.
Following simple rules will protect foreigners from problems with the law:
There is a special procedure for HIV-infected citizens, which was clarified by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. After the appeal of foreigners who permanently reside on Russian territory, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation indicated the inadmissibility of deportation due to an incurable disease. Since the courts of first instance did not take into account marital status and the presence of relatives who permanently reside in the Russian Federation, some patients were denied a residence permit and had their previous legal permits annulled. Sanctions are applied to HIV-infected foreigners if a violation of the regime or the commission of a crime is proven. “Legal Center “Defender”” will take care of presenting convincing evidence and arguments in favor of abolishing illegal methods of deportation, in excess of official authority.
It is possible to appeal against illegal expulsion through administrative or judicial proceedings. A decision made at the border by the responsible border service officer can be appealed using an application addressed to the head of the department. The appeal indicates the reasons for the illegality, as well as factors that were not taken into account or were completely ignored. The motivational part contains links to legislative acts, explanations of the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, cases from judicial practice in similar cases. You can file a complaint with the court against an unlawful order within 10 days after receiving the order. The employees of the “Defender” Legal Center will help you understand the situation and provide effective support, taking into account the current stage of consideration of the issue.
Professional lawyers will take care of the following legal details:

The regulating legal document on the protection of consumer rights is Law No. 230-1-FZ, in an updated version with additions. The guidelines set out in the legislative act regulate the specific sphere of relations between sellers or distributors of goods and buyers, as well as purchasers of services. Conflict situations arising due to unsuitable quality of products or paid services provided are resolved through pre-trial claims or litigation if the parties were unable to reach a peaceful settlement of the dispute.
The consumer has the right to be fully informed about technical characteristics, safety for human health and the environment, as well as additional information about the manufacturer of the product item or the direct contractor of the work. The seller must take care to provide such information in order to avoid misunderstandings or erroneous decisions by the buyer. The preamble to Law No. 230-1-FZ provides definitions of terms that are used in the main text of the regulatory act. General provisions determine the objective side, legal aspects of relations, the procedure for exchange and return of commodity items, refusal to accept ordered services. It also stipulates the right to claim compensation for material or moral damage caused.
The contents of the next three chapters of the Consumer Rights Protection Law cover the following:
Employees of the “Defender Legal Center” will provide legal assistance to clients in the pre-trial phase of dispute resolution and during legal proceedings. Experienced lawyers will help citizens protect their own rights and prepare the text of claims to the management of wholesale or retail outlets. Lawyers will be involved in drawing up and filing complaints to protect consumer rights, will undertake the preparation of a statement of claim in court, and will provide comprehensive legal support.
The help of a professional lawyer will be indispensable at the stages when:
A 14-day period is established by law for exchanging goods for a similar option, returning and claiming the money paid back. There are additional factors that affect the implementation of government guarantees. Compliance with packaging standards, the presence of the original sales tax receipt and the absence of traces of repeated use increases the chances of resolving the issue positively. The seller's dissatisfaction and open intimidation should not be taken into account, guided solely by the law.
If the following conditions are met, the purchase must be returned within two weeks:
You will need to wait for an expert opinion on the condition of the purchased product, the probable causes of failure or manufacturing defects. There is a documented list of things that cannot be returned under any circumstances. Non-refundable purchases include personal care products, cosmetics, medications, kitchenware, weapons and live plants. Deliberate evasion of compliance with the requirements of the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights is fraught with serious administrative, civil or criminal liability. In the latter case, serious health problems or a fatal outcome are grounds for initiating criminal proceedings.

Labor legislation is designed to regulate the official relationship between employees and employers. Violation of obligations voluntarily assumed by the parties leads to the need to use special legal instruments. Resolving labor disputes and protecting the infringed interests of participants in the work process are feasible tasks assigned to labor law lawyers. Lawyers of the “Legal Center “Defender”” company will take care of preparing for the judicial consideration of claims and will monitor compliance with formal procedures.

At the preparatory stage, the assistance of a lawyer will be required to formulate a legal position:
“Defender Legal Center” is focused on results, so employees work with maximum dedication, achieving a fair solution for the client. The final result depends on the convincingness of the arguments, the presence of significant evidence and documented responses from the labor inspectorate or prosecutor's office. Lawyers will ensure compliance with established deadlines, regulatory requirements and procedures when filing complaints with the labor inspectorate or initiating a claim for illegal dismissal of an employee. During the initial consultation, the client will be advised of the risks and the likelihood of an inappropriate judgment.
The center provides legal support services to individuals and companies in the following cases:
The activities of lawyers are regulated by Federal Law No. 63-FZ “On the Bar and Legal Activities”, the Code of Professional Ethics of Lawyers, as well as special norms of the Criminal Procedure Code, Civil Procedure Code, Arbitration Procedure Code and the Code of Administrative Procedure.
Lawyers can be members of colleges, law bureaus, or operate in a law office. Each lawyer has his own number in the register of lawyers and is a member of the Bar Association of one of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
The participation of a lawyer in criminal proceedings is mandatory. A lawyer defends accused and suspects in criminal cases at the stage of preliminary investigation, inquiry and in court. A lawyer can defend a criminal case as assigned by the investigator and the court, or by agreement, which can be concluded by both the accused (suspect, defendant) and his relatives, friends, and other interested parties.
In criminal cases, a lawyer has the right to defend accused, suspects, defendants in the courts of the first, appellate and cassation instances, in the Supreme Court. This applies not only to the stage of consideration of a criminal case by the court, but also at the stage of preliminary investigation or inquiry. The participation of a lawyer is mandatory when choosing a preventive measure in the form of detention, house arrest, or placement in a psychiatric hospital. Decisions, as well as actions and inactions of the investigator, can be appealed to the court.
The work of a lawyer in criminal proceedings is not limited only to the interests of the accused, suspects, and defendants. A lawyer can represent the interests of victims and witnesses at any stage of criminal proceedings.
It is very important to contact a lawyer in a timely manner. You should not come to the investigator alone, or communicate with operatives without protection. A visit to the Investigative Committee as a witness without a lawyer can result in a quick change in procedural status and imprisonment. You don't have to commit a crime for this to happen. Even the most truthful and harmless testimony given by you without a lawyer can be recorded and interpreted exactly the opposite.
Very often, an honest businessman, as a result of interrogation, becomes a “casher,” a doctor becomes an “iatrogenic criminal” and a villain, a police officer or military man who conscientiously performed his duty can be called a criminal who exceeded his official authority. No one is immune from criminal prosecution. Neither the prosecutor, nor the deputy, nor the officer.
The task of a lawyer in a criminal trial is not to “excuse” a criminal from a fair punishment, but to alleviate the fate of the guilty and prevent the punishment of the innocent. The last of these tasks is the most difficult, but the most honorable.
The opposite problem also happens. Protect the victims and punish the perpetrators. Unfortunately, very often it is impossible to resolve it without the participation of a lawyer.
It is not so easy to get a criminal case initiated on the side of the victims. Sometimes this takes years of difficult, painstaking and systematic work. It is very difficult for an ordinary citizen, without a legal education and relevant experience, to make the law enforcement machine work in the right direction.
A separate field of advocacy is the protection of the rights of convicts, the replacement of punishment with a more lenient one, parole, and the expungement of a criminal record. The convicted person can write petitions and go to court himself, but with the participation of a lawyer this happens faster and more efficiently. The secret is simple: for a convicted person, his case is usually the first and only one, and the lawyer has experience in solving such problems, amounting to tens and hundreds of cases.
Of course, a lawyer can work not only in criminal, but also in civil cases. “Criminal lawyer” is a misnomer. A good lawyer will understand any area of law. But sometimes a lawyer chooses a narrow specialization. If he previously served in law enforcement agencies, it is not easy to understand civil and arbitration cases.
Among the civil cases in which a lawyer can participate, it is worth mentioning divorce proceedings, division of property jointly acquired by spouses, determining the place of residence of children, inheritance disputes, housing disputes, challenging contracts, collecting penalties under the DDU, protecting the rights of patients in “medical cases” .
A rash transaction with real estate or other expensive property can lead to the most unfavorable financial consequences. It’s always worth remembering that scammers don’t have days off. It is always better to get timely advice from a lawyer and support of the transaction by a lawyer than to become a victim in a criminal case in the future.
Our lawyers have positive experience in terminating criminal prosecution at the stage of investigation and inquiry, including on rehabilitative grounds. Participated in criminal cases in which acquittals were made. They have experience in the rehabilitation of acquitted persons.
