Court of Arbitration
Economic crimes are considered in the Arbitration Court. The category of cases that can be addressed here includes various violations of the terms of certain agreements, tax disputes, issues related to entrepreneurship, etc. A complete list of cases with which you can go to Arbitration can be found in the Arbitration Procedural Code, which regulates the activities of this judicial body.

- judicial pleadings: the moment when the participants in the process can speak;

Criminal Courts
There are several instances of courts considering cases falling under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The process also takes place in several stages, which include the collection of information and the search for evidence, the preparation of material for the court and the process itself.

Courts of general jurisdiction, in addition to criminal ones, also consider administrative offenses.
Civil court

The litigation is a rather lengthy and exhausting case. Therefore, not only will you be savvy, it is better to additionally take care of a reliable defender, i.e. professional lawyer.
