Practice areas
Criminal defense at every stage — from pre-investigation checks to appeal. I take cases of any complexity, with a focus on drug cases (Art. 228 of the Russian Criminal Code) and fraud (Art. 159), plus other offenses.
Urgent 24/7 response
Arrest, search, interrogation, confrontation — I arrive anywhere in Moscow within 30–40 minutes. Round the clock, I pick up personally. First phone consultation is free.
Drug cases
(Art. 228)
Defense under Articles 228 and 228.1: arrest, investigation, trial, appeal. Dead drops, large and especially large quantities. Right-to-silence strategy, house arrest instead of pre-trial detention.
Fraud
(Art. 159)
Defense under Art. 159 and IT-related offenses: P2P crypto, money mules, credit fraud, computer crime. Bank account freezes (Federal Law 115-FZ), episode-by-episode work.
Defense in other criminal cases
Smuggling (Art. 226.1, 229.1, 200.1), theft and bank card theft (Art. 158), self-help (Art. 330), fights and bodily injury (Art. 111, 112, 115, 116, 119). All stages: investigation, trial, appeal.
Why clients choose me
Honest case assessment
Before signing a retainer — clear analysis and realistic forecast of the outcome. No sweet promises.
Transparent pricing
Fixed fees agreed before work starts. No surprise charges mid-case. Pay per stage separately.
Urgent response 24/7
Arrest, search, interrogation — I arrive within 30–40 minutes anywhere in Moscow. Round the clock, I pick up the phone personally.
Insider experience of investigation
Before private practice I worked in criminal investigation (Articles 159 & 228 of the Russian Criminal Code). I know procedural mechanics from the other side.
Attorney-client privilege
Everything you tell the attorney is protected by Russian law. Neither investigators nor the court can compel disclosure.
English via certified interpreter (C1)
Full support in English through a certified interpreter who works with me regularly. Comfortable and precise communication at every step — negotiations, interrogations, court hearings.
My clients and their families will never hear from me what they want to hear — only how the situation actually stands and what the realistic outcome can be. Experience lets me forecast most scenarios in advance. I don’t make sweet promises to sign a retainer — I work with facts, not expectations.
