Appealing Decisions and Actions of Law Enforcement Agencies in Kyiv

The justice system is a complex mechanism in which it is easy to become a hostage of bureaucracy, formalism, or even arbitrariness.Unlawful detention, illegal property seizure, application of excessively harsh preventive measures, and verdicts inconsistent with evidence — all these are not just legal mistakes but real risks to freedom, reputation, and financial stability.

PRAGNUM Law Firm provides professional legal assistance in appealing law enforcement actions and court decisions, protecting your interests in the most challenging circumstances.

Who needs to appeal law enforcement decisions?
Legal support and professional response to unlawful actions are not a luxury, but a necessity if you have:

Become a victim of unjustified property seizure, blocking business activities or depriving access to vital assets.
Faced excessively harsh preventive measures such as detention, house arrest, or travel bans without proper justification.
Planned to appeal a court verdict issued unlawfully or based on insufficient evidence.
Sought to achieve requalification of charges, since the accusation does not correspond to actual circumstances and imposes excessive liability.

In each of these cases, our legal team is ready to intervene, assess the situation, and propose an effective legal strategy.

Legal appeal against preventive measures

What do appeal services against law enforcement decisions include?

Appeal of property seizure.

Analysis of seizure legality. PRAGNUM lawyers examine procedural documents to determine if CPC requirements were met. Often, seizures are applied without proper justification.
Preparation of a motion to lift seizure. We draft legally sound applications with supporting evidence and court practice references.
Court representation. We represent clients before investigative judges or appeals courts, arguing for seizure cancellation.

Appeal of preventive measures.

Assessment of justification. We evaluate whether detention or custody was warranted, checking for risks of absconding, influencing investigation, or destroying evidence.
Preparation of documents for alteration. We file motions to replace custody with softer measures — bail, personal obligation, etc.
Court representation. Our lawyers advocate in court, proving restrictions unjustified and protecting clients against prosecutorial abuse.

Legal assistance in appealing law enforcement and court decisions

Stages of legal assistance.

Initial consultation.
Assessment of the situation and available remedies. The lawyer reviews case files (rulings, search protocols, investigator’s orders, verdicts, etc.) and clarifies facts. We:

Verify legality of actions by police and courts;

Form a list of tools (judge complaints, appeals, cassations, review motions).

Result: a clear algorithm of next steps and preliminary case forecast.

Preparation of documents.
Drafting appeals, motions, objections. We prepare documents with flawless reasoning:

Appeals and cassations with CPC, Supreme Court, and ECHR references;
Motions for lifting seizures, changing preventive measures, requalification, or excluding evidence;
Objections against prosecution arguments with detailed evidence analysis.

Each document is supported by case law and expert opinions to maximize chances of success.
