Lawsuits & Disputes

Uusimaa Lakimiehet Oy resolves disputes with professionalism

In legal parlance, litigation refers to matters involving a private law claim between two or more parties. Typical disputes are, for example, damage compensation cases, trade disputes, price reduction claims, housing and real estate disputes, car sales disputes, rent disputes, employment disputes, debt issues and inheritance disputes.

If it has become clear that it is not possible to reach an agreement with the other party in your case, you should contact Uudenmaa Lakimiehet Oy. Uusimaa Lakimiehet Oy can assist you in contract negotiations, and if a settlement cannot be reached even with the mediation of a lawyer, the matter can be referred to the court for resolution if necessary.

The point when it is worth taking the matter to court depends in practice on whether sufficient evidence can be presented to support your claims. If there is enough evidence, it is possible to take even a lower-value dispute to court, because the court will order the losing party to compensate the winner's costs.

In consultation with a lawyer, you will find out whether there is sufficient evidence to support your claims. If it is decided to go to trial in the case, our lawyer will obtain the necessary expert opinions and other reports to support your claims, as well as perform all other necessary measures to handle the trial. In most cases, the customer does not have to participate in the trial in any way, but it is enough for the customer to sign a power of attorney to handle the matter.

During the negotiations, we will also find out what kind of costs are incurred by handling your case, and if you have legal protection insurance available, our lawyer will take care of obtaining legal protection benefits for you from your insurance company.

If you want to find out what kind of measures should be taken in your case, you can make an appointment for a free initial consultation with Uudenmaa Lakimiehet Oy. In urgent matters, the negotiation can even be arranged for the same day. You can contact Uudenmaa Lakimiehet Oy confidentially in your disputes. Take contact!

Legal expert for police interrogations and criminal trials in Helsinki

Uudenmaa Lakimiehet Oy offers professional legal assistance for police interrogations and criminal trials. We operate extensively in Helsinki and the rest of the capital region. We serve both private individuals and companies.

Police interrogation

When you are questioned by the police as a suspect of a crime, you have the right to bring a legal assistant to the questioning. Including a legal expert or a lawyer in the police interview is justified, especially if you believe that you are unjustifiably suspected of a crime. A legal assistant can influence that issues supporting innocence are sufficiently taken into account in the investigation.

The police investigation and interrogations are practically the most important stage in terms of the outcome of the criminal process, so it is worth considering using legal assistance. Mistakes and omissions made during interrogations are often impossible to correct in the actual trial.

Even when you are interrogated in the position of an interested party, i.e. a victim of a crime, you have the right and often a justified reason to use a legal assistant during the interrogations. It is also difficult to correct mistakes or omissions made by the interested party during the preliminary investigation at a later stage of the process.

If you are arrested by the police on suspicion of a crime, you have the right to see a lawyer of your choice for legal advice. The use of legal assistance in an arrest situation is justified in the same way as above in the case of police interrogation.

Criminal trial

If you are summoned to respond to criminal proceedings as an accused, you have the right to use a lawyer as an assistant. By using a lawyer, you ensure that all the information relevant to you is presented to the court. Even in that situation when you are innocent, incomplete explanations may lead to a criminal conviction and sentence, as well as an obligation to pay damages.

It is also recommended to use a lawyer's help in the event that you have admitted your guilt to a crime. The scale of punishment is often broad, and claims for damages can often become unreasonably large.

If you are an interested party in criminal proceedings, with the help of a lawyer you will secure sufficient compensation for yourself. For example, if you have legal protection insurance related to your home insurance, your insurance company can reimburse the costs of using a lawyer. Uusimaa Lakimiehet Oy handles the application for legal protection benefit from your insurance company on your behalf.

Both the accused and the interested party can also receive the so-called a free trial (((LINK: Free trial))) and an assistant order, in which case the lawyer's fees are paid either partially or entirely from state funds. In order to assess whether it is worth using a lawyer in your criminal case, you can make an appointment for a free initial consultation with Uudenmaan Lakimiehet Oy. Take contact!

Legal services related to divorce, partition and child support

Uudenmaa Lakimiehet Oy assists in all legal matters related to divorce, partition and child support with solid professional skills.

Divorce

According to the Marriage Act, a divorce can be granted upon application after a six-month consideration period, or immediately upon application if the spouses have lived apart for at least two years.

Uusimaa Lakimiehet Oy can handle the divorce process from start to finish on your behalf, without you having to personally participate in the process or obtain reports for justice. All you have to do is sign a power of attorney in our office to apply for a divorce, and the process will be handled effortlessly for you.

Custody of children, visitation rights and alimony

In connection with the divorce process, matters concerning custody of minor children, visitation rights and alimony are also usually arranged. These matters can either be agreed upon between the parties, or if an agreement cannot be reached, the matters concerning the children can be taken to court for resolution. Uusimaa Lakimiehet Oy also handles assignments related to children's rights, so you can turn to our lawyers in those matters as well.

Changing the decision regarding child care, visitation rights or alimony

If the circumstances have changed after the matters concerning the child have either been agreed upon, or the court has issued a decision regarding them, it is possible to request a change to the said matters.

Thus, for example, alimony can later be demanded to be either increased or decreased, or joint maintenance can be demanded to be changed to sole custody and meetings can be demanded to be either increased or reduced, etc. If the other party does not agree to agree on the changes, it is possible to demand changes in court. In this case, it is a usual court case, which most often requires the help of a lawyer. Uusimaa Lakimiehet Oy assists you in all matters related to children's rights.

Property division

In connection with a divorce, it also makes the most sense to organize matters related to the division of the spouses' property, i.e. partition. The main principle of the Marriage Act regarding the division of property is the so-called halving principle, but it can be deviated from under certain conditions.

If the spouses cannot reach an agreement on the division of their assets, the division can be delivered by obtaining an estate division order from the court. After receiving the order, the estate distributor can carry out the division, even if the other party objects to the division. Both spouses are half-responsible for the costs incurred in obtaining an estate distributor, even if only one party was applying for an estate distributor's order from the court.

If you cannot reach an agreement on the division of your assets and debts, you can turn to Uusimaa Lakimiehet Oy to achieve division. Our lawyer first tries to reach an agreement between the parties, and only if this does not lead to a result, it is the turn to get a property distributor. Uusimaa Lakimiehet Oy assists you in all stages of the matter to ensure the best outcome for you.

Expertise and legal knowledge in inheritance matters in Helsinki

Uudenmaan Lakimiehet Oy offers professional legal services in inheritance matters in Helsinki and elsewhere in the capital region.

Testament

A will can provide instructions on how the property of the testator is to be distributed after his death. In order for the document to have the legal effects of a will, the will must be drawn up in the form prescribed by law. If the will is burdened by a formal error, it can be declared null and void, and the will of the testator will not be fulfilled. The will of the testator may remain unfulfilled also because the will itself, which is properly formally drawn up, is so open to interpretation or unclear in content that the will of the testator cannot actually be ascertained.

There are several different types of wills, there are wills of ownership, wills of possession, general wills and special subsequent decrees and mutual wills. With the help of Uusimaa Lakimiehet Oy, we can find out which type of will is the most meaningful choice in your case.

By making a will with a lawyer, you also ensure that the will will be made in the correct form and in such a way that the will of the will maker can be clarified in time. This way you can make sure that your property will be distributed in the way you want. When you make your will at Uudenmaa Lakimiehet Oy, you will also receive a binding cost estimate of the commission's costs in advance.

Basic writing

Each partner in the estate is responsible for delivering the original document after the deceased. The deed of foundation is a delivery in which the property and debts of the deceased are listed, and it is determined who is entitled to the inheritance, etc. Based on the deed of foundation, inheritance tax is imposed on the shareholders.

Uudenmaa Lakimiehet Oy will assist you in obtaining the necessary family history and other required information for the registration of birth and will otherwise take care of the delivery of the registration of birth. If the original document has not been submitted within three months of the death of the testator, and no extension has been received for the deadline, the result will be an increase in inheritance tax. It is therefore worth contacting Uudenmaa Lakimiehet Oy in time, so that all the necessary reports can be obtained within the deadline.

Division of inheritance

Once the deed has been delivered, the partners of the estate can agree on how the inheritance should be divided. The consent of all shareholders is required for the inheritance agreement. If the partners cannot reach an agreement on the division of the inheritance, an estate distributor can be obtained for the estate, who can carry out the division, even if one or some of the partners oppose the division.

If a shareholder is dissatisfied with the division carried out by the estate distributor, the shareholder can complain about the division of the inheritance in the district court, i.e. demand a change in the division. Complaints must be filed within six months from the delivery of the distribution of the inheritance.

Uusimaa Lakimieht can assist you, if necessary, in all the steps mentioned above to ensure that you can receive your share of the inheritance. If you want to find out whether in your case it is worthwhile to proceed with, for example, a will or distribution of inheritance, you can make an appointment for a free initial consultation with Uudenmaan Lakimiehet Oy.
