As reported by the Andriy Yermak Protection Group, servicemembers and their families are increasingly encountering fake lawyers who extort money for legal services, and unscrupulous attorneys who take funds but do not fulfill their obligations.
At a meeting of the NAAU Committee this problem and response mechanisms to violations were discussed. In particular, the head of the Kharkiv Region Bar Council, Viktoriia Haivoronska, spoke about a lawyer who received from servicemembers from 10 to 50 thousand hryvnias for empty promises to secure recalculation of payments. After numerous complaints and disciplinary proceedings he was stripped of the right to practice law.
Andriy Yermak called on the legal community to document such cases and respond firmly to confirmed violations.
