Lawyer request

Each lawyer, carrying out his professional activity, has the right to send appeals to state authorities, enterprises, institutions and organizations, regardless of their form of ownership, with a request to provide information or documents necessary to protect the interests of his the client Such an appeal is a lawyer request.

In essence, filing a lawyer's request is not a request to "correct" or change the situation or decision regarding the client. This is a request to provide information or documents that the lawyer lacks for quality protection of the client.

So in the field of migration law, for example, attorney requests are most often used in two cases:

1. When the state body violates the deadline for considering documents (especially for difficult procedures, such as obtaining a permanent permit or acquiring citizenship). The received response to the request makes it possible to understand exactly where the case is, in what state it is, whether it is necessary to expect a refusal from the state body, whether it is possible to appeal the delay in processing, etc.
2. When the client receives a refusal to receive this or that document. Usually, decisions on refusal indicate a formal reason provided by legislation without reference to a specific case and without details. A lawyer's request will make it possible to find out the specific reason and make a further decision: appeal the decision or correct an error in the documents and resubmit the documents.

Of course, a citizen himself can write a written appeal to the authority to clarify certain circumstances concerning him. However, the advantage of a lawyer's request is time. If the Law of Ukraine "On Appeals of Citizens" gives a month for consideration of an appeal, the Law of Ukraine "On Advocacy and Advocacy" only 5 days, and also defines responsibility for failure to respond to a lawyer's request. In this way, you save your time and you will be 100% sure that you will receive an answer to your question.
