Full biography →A first call in English, Russian or Ukrainian. You describe the situation; Kristina says whether it is a matter for her, for a colleague, or for a lawyer abroad.
Where the parties, the assets and the evidence are; which court or tribunal can reach them; what a foreign decision will be worth in Florida. One document, before any filing.
What to file, where and in which order; what to preserve; which counsel abroad to involve. Fees are agreed in writing at this stage, with the firm.
A short description is enough: who the parties are, where the assets or the court are, what has already happened. Kristina replies in the language you wrote in.
