As reported by the Andriy Yermak Defense Group, servicemembers and their families are increasingly encountering fake lawyers who extort money for legal services, and unscrupulous attorneys who take payment but do not fulfill their obligations.
At a meeting of the Ukrainian National Bar Association Committee, they discussed this problem and mechanisms for responding to violations. In particular, Viktoriia Haivoronska, Chair of the Bar Council of Kharkiv region, described a lawyer who received from servicemembers from 10 to 50 thousand hryvnias for empty promises to secure a recalculation of payments. After numerous complaints and disciplinary proceedings, he was disbarred.
Andriy Yermak urged the legal community to document such cases and to take principled action on confirmed violations.
