Changing the category of eligibility for military service

We have teamed up with doctors that help us determine whether there are any grounds to downgrade the eligibility category. If additional medical checkups are needed to get a category exempting from military service, the doctors will prompt on such and, most likely, complete them. We also have forensic experts that can aid in case of a dispute with the military recruiting office.


Legal assistance at military recruiting offices and law enforcement agencies

To avoid any infringement of our principals’ rights, we accompany them to military recruiting offices when they receive conscription notices. For instance, we make sure they get the deferment they are entitled to. We also provide assistance to our principals in law enforcement agencies in relation to military duty. For example, when the police summon an army recruit to verify if there are any grounds to institute criminal proceedings regarding the military service evasion.

During military mobilization period, we have protected dozens of citizens from illegal recruitment, including by compiling appeal letters to the military prosecutor’s office.

 

Appealing against illegal recruitment and other acts of military recruiting office

We help appeal against illegal conscription into the armed forces, and military mobilization. For instance, in cases when military recruiting offices ignore the existing deferment or have assigned a wrong eligibility category.

 

Consulting hotline for employees of companies

Sometimes, companies engage us to aid their employees. If any employees have issues related to military service, our lawyers will help tackle them by giving consultations, visiting military recruiting offices, and drawing up appeal letters.

During the military mobilization period, we have consulted 300+ persons via the hotline.

 

Preparing opinions on most controversial issues

Sometimes, our principals may have issues related to military duty and mobilization, which they are unable to solve on their own. We aid them and prepare legal opinions justifying our view based on laws.

If requested by our principals, we prepare quality analytics that cover new laws. For example, after the Law on Electronic Conscription Notices was announced, there were many issues concerning its practical applicability. We aided our principals to find out, evaluate the degree of impact on their activity, and produce an algorithm of adaptation to new features.
