Criminal case: termination

I consulted attorney Yuri Ashotovich about a criminal case brought against me. A brilliant strategist, he thought through all our steps so that the case turned out the way I needed. In the end I decided that no one but attorney Arutyunov could save me and agreed with him on my full defence until the court's decision. We achieved termination of the case easily and quickly! An experienced attorney, especially in criminal matters.

Bankruptcy: loans and microloans

I took out loans and microloans because of my life circumstances, and then I was fired and had nothing to pay with. The collectors' threats and ever-growing penalties were frightening. Arutyunov helped me file for bankruptcy, warning me that I would not be able to hold certain positions or make large transactions. Now the banks and microfinance organisations no longer torment me!

Family dispute: taking a child abroad

I used the services of attorney Yuri Ashotovich Arutyunov because my ex-husband would not give permission for me to travel abroad with our child. Through the court I obtained not only permission for the trip but also a restriction of the father's parental rights, as we showed his failure to perform parental duties and to pay child support. Attorney Arutyunov fully earned his fee — thank you very much for your help!

Criminal case: representing the victim

I hired Yuri Ashotovich as my representative in a criminal case at a court hearing where I was the victim. A good attorney. He protects his client by every possible means, within the law of course. It was a difficult case, but Arutyunov handled it brilliantly. During the hearing we also filed a civil claim for compensation of my damages, and it worked out. I recommend him as a professional!

Criminal case: protecting the victim

I don't regret following a colleague's advice and turning to attorney Yuri Ashotovich for help. My son urgently needed legal assistance: he was a victim in a criminal case and had no protection at all, and we ourselves know little about this area. We received qualified protection and enormous help — heartfelt thanks!!!

Inheritance: missed acceptance deadline

Because we moved to another region and partly lost contact, we did not enter into the inheritance in time. We realised this when the inherited apartment was about to be transferred to the state through the court. Thanks to Yuri Ashotovich's professionalism and promptness we managed to defend our interests, and everything ended well.

Insurance dispute after a road accident

After a road accident, the insurance company wanted to significantly understate the payout for the insured event. Experienced friends recommended that I turn to attorney Arutyunov. A true professional. He arranged an independent appraisal, gathered all the necessary documents and proved I was right in court. In the end they paid almost 4 times the original amount. Many thanks to Yuri Ashotovich for his good work.
