Military law legal advice in Lviv

When to seek help

  • You re­ceived a de­ci­sion, demand or ad­min­is­tra­tive penalty de­ci­sion from a ter­ri­to­r­i­al re­cruit­ment and social support centre and need to un­der­stand its con­se­quences.
  • Your mil­i­tary reg­is­tra­tion record differs from your sup­port­ing doc­u­ments.

Specific matters in this area

How we get started

  1. Share the document

    Provide the de­ci­sion title, the date you re­ceived it and a brief account of the cir­cum­stances.

  2. Clarify the issue

    We dis­tin­guish reg­is­tra­tion, de­fer­ment, medical ex­am­i­na­tion and li­a­bil­i­ty ques­tions.

  3. Prepare the submission

    We agree the legal po­si­tion, sup­port­ing doc­u­ments and a way to record sub­mis­sion.

What to prepare

  • Your mil­i­tary reg­is­tra­tion doc­u­ment and the dis­put­ed de­ci­sion, if avail­able.
  • Ap­pli­ca­tions, replies and ev­i­dence of their receipt.
  • Family, ed­u­ca­tion or medical records sup­port­ing your request, where rel­e­vant.

A lawyer as­sess­es legal grounds and pro­ce­dure. The au­tho­rised mil­i­tary medical com­mis­sion de­ter­mines fitness for service; the outcome depends on the cir­cum­stances and ev­i­dence.

Military matters: identify the document and your status first

A VLK finding, de­fer­ment de­ci­sion and offence res­o­lu­tion require dif­fer­ent as­sess­ments. A civil­ian person liable for mil­i­tary service and a serving member also follow dif­fer­ent pro­ce­dures.

Establish the scope first

  • Identify the document

    Record the title, au­thor­i­ty, date and sub­stance. The name TTsK alone does not de­ter­mine the route.

  • Establish your status

    Ma­te­ri­als for civil­ians liable for service do not au­to­mat­i­cal­ly apply to reports, service ad­min­is­tra­tion or dis­charge of serving per­son­nel.

  • A challenge does not itself mean suspension

    Sending a com­plaint must not be treated as per­mis­sion to dis­re­gard a sep­a­rate con­tin­u­ing duty. Con­se­quences depend on the pro­ce­dure and spe­cif­ic de­ci­sions.

Facts, evidence and remaining questions

If the table does not fit on the screen, scroll it hor­i­zon­tal­ly.

Check these points before choosing the next step
QuestionWhat to retainWhat this does not establish
Status and reason for contactMilitary registration or service records appropriate to your statusAn informal description may not match the records
Separate decisionsFull copies of the VLK finding, refusal, offence resolution or other actChallenging one document does not automatically remove the others
ChronologySubmission, receipt, examination and notification datesDifferent procedures can use different starting events

Keep com­plete doc­u­ments and ev­i­dence of receipt. A request for copies must not be treated as au­to­mat­i­cal­ly ex­tend­ing a chal­lenge dead­line.

Choose the relevant next resource

Choose by the doc­u­ment and the outcome sought, rather than the au­thor­i­ty’s name alone.

Frequently asked questions

Can we start remotely?

Yes. A de­scrip­tion of the issue and copies of avail­able doc­u­ments are enough for an initial review; we clarify any need for orig­i­nals sep­a­rate­ly.

Where do I submit a new deferment application?

Use Reserve+ for sup­port­ed cat­e­gories or an ad­min­is­tra­tive ser­vices centre where the pro­ce­dure pro­vides for it. Re­cruit­ment centres do not accept these ap­pli­ca­tions di­rect­ly; we check the channel for your ground.

What happens at the initial consultation?

The initial con­sul­ta­tion is free. We iden­ti­fy the issue, doc­u­ments needed and pos­si­ble next steps.

What affects the cost and preparation time?

Cost and prepa­ra­tion time depend on whether the issue con­cerns reg­is­tra­tion, de­fer­ment, a mil­i­tary medical com­mis­sion de­ci­sion or li­a­bil­i­ty, and on the de­ci­sion and records avail­able. Initial as­sess­ment, a records request and a com­plaint involve dif­fer­ent scopes; legal work does not de­ter­mine a medical finding or an au­thor­i­ty’s de­ci­sion.
