Frequently asked
Straight answers
Why is the consultation paid?
A consultation is a lawyer’s work: going through your case, weighing the prospects and the risks, and leaving you with a plan of action. You leave with something you can use, even if you never sign a contract with us.
What exactly do I get at the consultation?
An assessment of your situation, a breakdown of the risks, an answer to the question of what to do and what not to do, a step-by-step plan, and a clear view of where the case can go.
Do you respond urgently when a matter cannot wait?
Yes. If there is a search, a detention or a summons for interrogation, call the number in the top bar. A lawyer can be reached and will attend in person if needed.
How much does it cost to run a case?
The cost depends on the category of the case, the stage it has reached and the volume of work. Terms are discussed at the consultation and fixed in the contract. [Payment terms and price ranges to be filled in by the owner]
What should I bring to the consultation?
Everything you have on your case: summonses, rulings, records, contracts, written acknowledgements, correspondence. If you have no documents to hand, come without them: reconstructing the facts and the sequence of events matters more.
Which cities do you work in?
The firm has offices in Semey and Astana, but we work across Kazakhstan. We travel to courts and investigative authorities in other cities and regions. Office addresses and booking details are in the Contacts section.
