Gratitude from Antonov Arkady I, Antonov Arkady Shanobich, turned to the Legal Agency of St. Petersburg for help due to the fact that when concluding an agreement for spinal treatment with Medstar, I was actually deceived in the cost of treatment and more. During the process of drawing up a treatment contract with me, no one explained to me that the treatment would be carried out using credit funds; the amount of treatment was constantly changing. My requests to be given longer time to familiarize myself with the procedures and consultations at their price list were refused. That is, there was actually pressure on the client. At home, when I carefully read the entire document, I realized that I had actually been deceived about money and treatment time. On October 30, 2018, I applied for legal assistance from the Legal Agency of St. Petersburg regarding the termination of the contract for treatment at Medstar and the termination of the loan agreement from Alfa-Bank. My case was handled by Denis Yurievich Stepanov, all issues were resolved very quickly and I was informed about all situations. I would like to thank Stepanov D.Yu. and all lawyers who work in this agency.

Gratitude from Truk N.N. I would like to express my gratitude to Vasily Anatolyevich Kavalyauskus, Alexander Viktorovich Pavlyuchenko and Maxim Andreevich Lobur for providing qualified legal assistance, with the help of which my problem was resolved quickly and clearly.

I wish you success in your future work and defending the interests of consumers.

Sincerely, Truk N.N.

How can a migration lawyer help a foreigner?

For those who wish to permanently reside or work on the territory of the Russian Federation, the help of a lawyer on migration issues in Moscow is necessary in most cases. This is due to the complexities and legal nuances of the domestic legislative system, which even a Russian cannot always understand without the appropriate education and qualifications. The human rights defender will provide a full range of services – from detailed consultation to representation in government bodies and courts.

Contacting a lawyer on migration issues in Moscow is necessary in the following cases:

The migrant is denied entry into the territory of the Russian Federation;
Measures were taken regarding the person’s expulsion from the state, and a decision was made on immediate deportation;
When submitting an application for confirmation of refugee status, it was refused without explanation;
Legal proceedings were initiated against the migrant;
A foreign citizen was unable to obtain a work patent or a business permit.

Only an experienced and qualified human rights defender can deal with these, as well as other complex and specific problems.

Why is preliminary consultation with a lawyer on migration law important?

Often, foreign citizens not only do not know the intricacies of Russian legislation, but also experience difficulties with the Russian language. It is very difficult for them to adequately understand the requirements of regulatory legal acts, which entails a number of mistakes in behavior. The penalties for such violations can be very severe. An experienced immigration law lawyer will help you get answers to the following typical questions in an accessible form:

What regulatory legal acts regulate your situation;
What rights and responsibilities do persons with residence permit or temporary residence permit status have while staying in the country?
What rights and responsibilities do employees of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have;
What liability is possible for violating the requirements of migration legislation and can it be avoided?

Legal advice on migration issues for employers

It is known that a representative of a foreign state who is in the cities of the Russian Federation falls under the jurisdiction of migration legislation. But few people know that failure to comply with the regulations can affect not only migrants, but also employers who hire foreign citizens as employees. It is recommended to obtain legal advice on migration issues in the following cases:

You do not know how to register a foreign citizen correctly, what documents will need to be filled out and how the procedure for social contributions will change;
Migrants work at your enterprise, and an inspection from government agencies - the Federal Migration Service, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, and the tax inspectorate - is planned in the near future;
You want to invite a foreign specialist to work, but you don’t know how to send an invitation and check his papers;
You are going to fire a foreigner and avoid the possible problems associated with dismissal.

It is important to contact a lawyer on migration issues in a timely manner, because if the migration legislation is violated, the employer may face administrative liability. He will be required to pay a fine per employee, and the business may be closed for a certain period of time.
