The main tasks of a lawyer in a criminal case

Let's start with the fact that in Ukraine only the bar is responsible for providing professional legal assistance. This means that the lawyer has the right to represent the interests of the suspect in order to defend him against criminal charges.

Criminal proceedings are one of the specific types of activity of authorities authorized by the state (we are talking about pre-trial investigation bodies, the court and the prosecutor's office). The result of any criminal proceeding is the adoption of a reasoned decision.

During the pre-trial stage and consideration of the case in court, both natural and legal persons become the main actors of criminal procedural relations. This means that they have their own duties, rights and legitimate interests. Their list depends on the status of a specific subject in a criminal case: suspect, witness, victim, etc. Regardless of the assigned status, each person wants to receive real professional help.

For example, when communicating with representatives of law enforcement agencies and the investigating judge, it is very important to have relevant knowledge, skills and abilities that will allow you to defend your legal rights. Unfortunately, not all participants in criminal proceedings can do this on their own. It is in these cases that professional lawyers come to the rescue.

Most often, a lawyer acts as a defender in criminal proceedings. This is regulated by current Ukrainian legislation (part one of Article 45 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine).
