Case: We defended a client in criminal proceedings under Part 2 of Article 345 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine
A Client approached the law firm «Prikhodko & Partners» after being accused of committing a criminal offense under Part 2 of Article 345 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — intentionally causing bodily injury to a law enforcement officer in connection with the performance of their official duties.
The lawyer’s task was to develop an effective defense strategy, minimize the criminal-law consequences for the Client, and prevent the Client from actually serving a custodial sentence.
Client’s situation
The criminal proceedings were initiated following a conflict between the Client and police officers who arrived in response to a call concerning a disturbance of public order. According to the prosecution, during the incident one of the law enforcement officers sustained bodily injuries in connection with the performance of their official duties.
The Client’s actions were classified under Part 2 of Article 345 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which created a risk of punishment involving actual restriction or deprivation of liberty.
Lawyer’s work
At the initial stage, the lawyer conducted a detailed assessment of the legal situation and the prospects of the criminal proceedings, identified potential risks for the Client, and developed a defense strategy.
Subsequently, the lawyer:
- conducted a comprehensive analysis of the criminal case materials;
- reviewed the circumstances of the incident and the evidence underlying the charges;
- examined additional facts and materials relevant to the Client’s legal position;
- analyzed the defendant’s personal circumstances and other factors that could be taken into account by the court when determining the type and severity of the sentence;
- conducted negotiations regarding the possibility of resolving the conflict with the victim;
- prepared and coordinated the terms of a reconciliation agreement between the victim and the defendant;
- prepared the legal position for the court proceedings and represented the Client’s interests in court.
Result
As a result of the work carried out, the court approved the reconciliation agreement between the victim and the defendant.
Instead of actually serving a sentence of 2 years’ imprisonment, the Client was given a 1-year probationary period.
