August 11, in the trial of actor Michael Efremov will take “a significant event that will put everything in its place”, said the lawyer of the victim Alexander Dobrovinsky. In an interview, “Газете.Ru” the lawyer also spoke about the claims in his address, the risks in the case of Ephraim, the love and etiquette on whether he considers Elman Pashayev worthy opponent.
the — family and friends call you “is absolutely a mythical figure.” You really got the image of a mysterious foreign lawyer — specifically stick to it?
Alexander Dobrovinsky: I live in order to get pleasure from life in all its manifestations. And then everything depends on the views of the people. I live the way I want.
the — in Addition to Russian you have Israeli citizenship, and had three of the permit. Love to travel or travel periodically to protect foreign customers?
Citizenship has absolutely nothing to do with my work abroad. My team work in different countries. In addition, I’ve lived in France, in America, in Luxembourg, in Switzerland. Left in the 70-ies of the country and returned only in 1992.
the You released the video on the channel dedicated to etiquette. What is the place of this theme in your life? How about the luxury goods — clothing, cars?
— Theme of etiquette was born out of the fact that I’m a very observant person and like to observe everything that happens around me. Repeatedly faced with the fact that those who are not familiar with the etiquette, a little drop out of communication with other people. And I thought and still think that the greatest pleasure in this life is communication. Sitting, running, lying, standing — no matter how. But to communicate with people with respect. Etiquette is a manifestation of respect. I wanted to share with people what is etiquette and why is it needed, what it helps in life.
the — For the career you have often defended Russian celebrities, but also acted against them, not less. Why prefer to take on the case of the stars?
— If you turn to me and I can see some perspective, always taking over. And not always it are celebrities. If I see that I can be useful then why not. Here’s another: celebrities are those people who are interesting to journalists. So write about them. And there already and the lawyer around, not going anywhere.
the — During the next star divorce you filed for in the UK the ex-wife of TV presenter Andrey Karaulov, accused of fraud. For life often had to take in court the role of the defendant?
— Several times I tried.
In one case, the man himself gave me a claim, and as a result now owe me $5 million
With regard to MS Karaulova, the fact that she, poor thing, left to do. She had asthey are something from your husband to get what she wanted. Well, I was credited at the same time.
I’m quite relaxed about. People are in your life so that you almost never come by themselves and say: my fault. There is always an explanation that the blame for others. “I was married to the bitch,” “I married a scoundrel.” Blaming someone else, we always find an excuse for myself. So it is easier for us to live. Well, maybe not easier only lawyers who face these tragedies.
the — Based on what the media are writing, you expect that Ephraim will issue a guilty verdict. Why so sure?
— Who said this? I never said it would be a guilty verdict. At least, not entitled to it. Nevertheless, I fulfill the will of their principals, and we’re going to prove his guilt. But to be convicted or not, we will see more soon.
the — In one interview you said that “the enemy is going to make some stupid mistake — I must do something to provoke them.” Do you apply this tactic in a case against Ephraim?
— I’ll be able to tell only after the trial.
the — compared To lawyer Elman Pashayev you behave more cautiously. Do you think it will complicate the eccentricity with which the defender of Ephraim comes to the matter, the trial? You consider him a worthy adversary?
He has received a note from the judge. The judge is also a human and react to what is happening on the basis of his robe, but she understands the judicial investigation.
How anyone proves who she sees and takes the arguments. And if this is done from impotence, it is, of course, leaves a residue. I am not talking about our process at all, it is the opinion as a whole.
the — do You think Pashayeva worthy opponent?
— By entering into any process on any negotiations, in any logic battle, you have to treat your opponent with the position that he is much smarter, more cunning and stronger than you. Only based on this message you have the right to engage in a process — be it in court or somewhere else. Never talk about your opponent bad, or you yourself will not be ready to process. For me it is excluded.
With regard to Pashayev, it is a very knowledgeable lawyer with a great experience and I am very interesting to be in the same process. Here my wife tells me this is a very highly qualified person.
the — In your opinion, can the protection of the defendant affect the assessment? Are there any risks in this matter, which could turn the trial in favor of the injured party?
There are always risks. Task five lawyers is to see justice done. Over it we work.
We already have witnesses who said what suited us. And there are still important eventsment, which will occur next week.
the — Pashayev in an interview “Газете.Ru” reported that when talking with the brother and son of the deceased Zakharova he had the feeling that the relatives of the happy death of Sergei. Is this true? What the family had dealings with him?
— All that said, the defender of Ephraim, according to the law and from a moral point of view, it is the words of Ephraim. Let’s take it for granted. Otherwise, the lawyer will speak something against, inconsistent with the customer. If the defender says that the victim’s family rejoices in his death, then, so says Efremov, and we’ll leave it on his conscience.
You all will hear on Tuesday, because Tuesday happens to us a significant event for all of us in the process, which very much will put in its place, and all things will become clear.
