Two levels of legal aid
Primary legal aid
Available to everyone under Ukraine’s jurisdiction. A lawyer explains your rights, suggests what to do and helps prepare non-procedural applications or complaints.
Secondary legal aid
Available to categories defined by law. It includes defence, representation of interests in court and assistance drafting procedural documents.
Who provides the service
Advice may be provided by Free Legal Aid system lawyers. Defence or representation may be provided by system lawyers or independent lawyers cooperating with the Free Legal Aid system. Their work is funded by the state, but the lawyer remains professionally independent.
You do not need to know which type of aid you require. Explain the situation, and a lawyer will identify the next step and any documents you may need.
