Military lawyer Kyiv
A military lawyer is a specialist who specializes in a wide range of issues in the field of military law. In particular, this concerns mobilization, military service and the protection of the rights of both military personnel and citizens liable for military service. Given that martial law is still in effect in Ukraine, the number of legal issues regarding the legality of conscription, the procedure for serving, dismissal from service, registration of a deferment from mobilization, payments to military personnel, etc. is growing.
If you are interested in truly high-quality assistance from a military lawyer, you can contact the specialists working in the team of the law firm “Prikhodko & Partners”. Providing services in the field of military law, as one of the key areas of our practice, we help clients effectively and keep our finger on the pulse of all legislative updates and industry news.
What should you know about military law?
The main regulatory legal acts on which a military lawyer relies are:
- Constitution of Ukraine. Particular mention should be made of Articles 17 and 59, which state that the protection of sovereignty is the business of every citizen. The Constitution also stipulates that everyone has the right to legal assistance.
- Law of Ukraine “On Military Duty and Military Service”. This normative legal act regulates the procedure for mobilization, service and dismissal of military personnel.
- Law of Ukraine “On Mobilization Preparation and Mobilization”. It defines the procedure for conscription, as well as the grounds for deferment or exemption from mobilization. In particular, these grounds can be found in Article 23.
- Law of Ukraine “On Social and Legal Protection of Military Personnel and Members of Their Families”. If you need to learn about the regulation of issues of benefits, payments and social guarantees, then you should look at this normative legal act.
Despite the fact that today there is no problem in finding laws or regulations on a particular issue in the public domain, to understand their content one needs to have knowledge of how their legal norms are applied in practice.
Military Lawyer Services for Military Personnel
Citizens liable for military service may contact a lawyer in the following cases:
- Checking the legality of the summons and the procedure for its delivery. In order for the summons to be valid, its content must comply with legal norms. It is also important to comply with the prescribed procedure for delivering the summons. According to the Procedure for organizing and maintaining military records (approved by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution № 1487 of December 30, 2022), the summons must be properly executed and delivered in person against signature. A lawyer will help assess the legality of the summons and the possibility of appealing it.
- Assistance in matters of deferment from mobilization. In accordance with the already mentioned Article 23 of the Law of Ukraine “On Mobilization Preparation and Mobilization”, certain categories of citizens have the right to a deferment. For example, these are parents with many children, persons with disabilities, students, etc. If you have a valid reason for a deferment, a lawyer will help you collect documents and correctly file a request for a deferment.
- Legal support during a visit to the TCC. Today, you can read a lot of news about cases of abuse of power by TCC officials, as well as force mobilization. The lawyer controls the legality of the actions of TCC officials so that such situations do not occur when communicating with a conscript. He checks the documents provided to the client and prevents possible violations of rights.
- Appealing against illegal conscription or mobilization. If a person liable for military service was mobilized in violation of the procedure, his lawyer will help appeal this decision. For example, we work in both administrative and judicial appeal formats.
Thus, a lawyer specializing in military law provides the client with a wide range of services in the context of mobilization processes.
Services of a lawyer in military law for the military
Active military personnel also often face legal issues. For example, our team’s specialists are contacted with the following requests:
- Protection of rights during military service. For example, military personnel often face illegal orders, breaches of contract terms, as well as problems with payments and social guarantees. A lawyer, taking on support for such cases, helps to defend the rights of military personnel in the relevant authorities and courts.
- Assistance in matters of dismissal from service. In accordance with Article 26 of the Law of Ukraine “On Military Duty and Military Service”, there are a number of grounds for dismissal from service. For example, this is the expiration of the contract, deterioration of health, some family circumstances, etc. A lawyer in such cases helps to correctly draw up documents for dismissal. Also, if problems arise during the procedure, he can challenge illegal refusals to dismiss.
- Appealing illegal orders and decisions of the command. If a serviceman considers the order illegal, he has the right to appeal it. In this case, a lawyer will help challenge the illegality of the order.
- Support in criminal and disciplinary cases. For example, in cases of accusations of desertion, insubordination or other offenses, a professional military lawyer is able to provide reliable legal protection for the client.
As you can see, we work not only with conscripts, but also with active military personnel.
Why is it important to contact a lawyer rather than try to solve the problem yourself?
Sometimes clients try to solve problems that arise in the legal field on their own. However, independent actions without proper legal knowledge often lead to serious negative legal consequences. For example, if you do not properly formalize a deferment, having grounds for this, you may be illegally mobilized or denied a deferment. In turn, a lawyer has experience and knows how to correctly draw up all the necessary documents. Our specialists understand well where to go and how to act in case of violation of clients’ rights. And, as current judicial practice shows, it is with legal support that the client has a much higher chance of successfully resolving the case.
Thus, a military lawyer is a key figure in matters of mobilization, military service and protection of citizens’ rights. The specialist helps both conscripts and servicemen in a number of legal issues, from obtaining a deferment from mobilization to benefits and other social guarantees.
