The profession of lawyer is free and independent, with autonomous organisation and operation.

The lawyer promotes and defends the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of individuals. Every person has the right to freely choose their lawyer (Art. 2 of Law no. 51/1995).
The lawyer's activity is carried out through the activities listed in Art. 3 para. (1) of Law no. 51/1995. According to Art. 3 para. (2) of Law no. 51/1995, all activities set out in para. (1) may be carried out only by a lawyer, unless the law provides otherwise.
Through the website pozderie.ro/en and the communication channels indicated (telephone, e-mail), Ciprian Pozderie-Semeniuc - Law Office facilitates the scheduling and provision of legal consultation services, predominantly in the field of criminal law, in an online format.
Legal consultation services are provided, as a rule, following a prior appointment and full payment of the fee in advance. Payment may be made online, through a secure payment link generated by means of the Stripe platform.
According to Art. 89 of the Statute of the Profession of Lawyer, legal consultations may be provided in writing or orally in areas of interest to the client.
Ciprian Pozderie-Semeniuc - Law Office offers the possibility of an initial legal consultation, of 30 minutes' duration, conducted online through Microsoft Teams, intended for natural persons facing legal situations connected with drug-related offences (e.g. possession for personal use, trafficking, driving under the influence of psychoactive substances, or other offences provided for by specific legislation).
The fixed fee for this consultation is 60 EUR, VAT included. The displayed price is the total price owed by the client; no additional costs of any nature are charged for the service described in this section.
Purpose of the consultation. This confidential discussion has the following objectives:
Scheduling and conduct procedure:
Limitations. For reasons of security and quality of service, consultations are not provided by telephone. This initial 30-minute consultation does not entail the automatic conclusion of a legal assistance contract for extended representation; the latter is the subject of a separate discussion and of a separate contract, where appropriate and where agreed by both parties.
The legal assistance contract is concluded under the conditions of Art. 28 para. (1) and (2) of Law no. 51/1995, in conjunction with Art. 108 and Art. 121-126 of the Statute of the Profession of Lawyer.
The lawyer's right to assist, to represent or to carry out any other activities specific to the profession arises from the legal assistance contract, concluded in written form between the lawyer and the client or the client's agent.
The legal assistance contract is concluded in written form, required ad probationem. It must satisfy all the conditions required by law for the valid conclusion of an agreement and acquires a certain date through its registration in the lawyer's official record register, irrespective of the manner in which it was concluded.
The legal assistance contract may also be concluded by any means of distance communication (e.g. e-mail). In such a case, the date of conclusion of the contract is the date on which the agreement of will between the lawyer and the client occurred. The lawyer is presumed to have become aware of the conclusion of the contract on the date on which the contract signed by the client arrived by e-mail at the electronic address of the office (ciprian@pozderie.ro).
The legal assistance contract is deemed to have been concluded tacitly where the client has paid the fee set out in an offer or pro forma invoice which refers to a draft contract, the payment of that fee signifying the client's acceptance of the contract, in which case the date of conclusion of the contract is deemed to be the date on which payment was confirmed. This is the position with regard to the service contracted through the website (page https://pozderie.ro/en/consultation/), and accordingly, by the payment made by the client, a Legal Assistance Contract is deemed to have been tacitly concluded in the form provided by Annex I to the Statute of the Profession of Lawyer, having as its:
the remaining clauses of Annex I to the Statute of the Profession of Lawyer remaining unmodified.
During the legal consultation, or immediately thereafter, Ciprian Pozderie-Semeniuc - Law Office shall send to the client, at the e-mail address indicated, a copy of the Legal Assistance Contract and the tax invoice issued for the service provided.
Note: for the initial 30-minute consultation, having regard to its preliminary character and short duration, the formalisation of the written contract may follow a simplified process or may be integrated into the communications subsequent to payment; the obligations of confidentiality and the ethical principles apply, however, from the moment of the initial contact and of the lawyer's acceptance of the matter (following the conflict of interest check).
The fee is established under the conditions of Art. 30 of Law no. 51/1995, in conjunction with Art. 127-130 of the Statute of the Profession of Lawyer.
For his professional activity the lawyer is entitled to a fee and to the reimbursement of all expenses incurred in the interest of his client. Fees are freely established between the lawyer and the client, within the limits of the law and of the statute, and shall be set out in the legal assistance contract or in the offer (https://pozderie.ro/en/consultation/) accepted by the client through payment.
Fees may be established in accordance with the criteria laid down in the Statute (hourly, fixed/flat-rate, success-based, combined).
For the service Initial legal consultation (30 minutes) – drug-related offences, a fixed fee of 60 EUR, VAT included, is charged. Payment of this fee is made in full, in advance, by secure online payment (Stripe), in accordance with the procedure described in Sections 2 and 3. The actual scheduling of the consultation is conditional upon confirmation of payment and upon the subsequent verification by the lawyer of the absence of a conflict of interest.
Where the client requests, or where it becomes necessary, that the duration be extended, the fee shall be supplemented accordingly, on the basis of the client's prior express agreement as to the additional amount, and payment of the difference shall be made after completion of the consultation session.
The appointment shall be confirmed only after the full receipt, in advance, of the agreed fee.
The appointment for a consultation (general or initial) may be cancelled by the client by written notice sent to the e-mail address ciprian@pozderie.ro.
Special situation. In the specific case of the 30-minute initial legal consultation, if, following the client's payment, the lawyer establishes, as a result of internal checks, the existence of a conflict of interest which prevents him from providing the consultation, the lawyer shall inform the client immediately and shall proceed to refund in full the fee paid (60 EUR, VAT included). The refund shall be made by the method used for payment (Stripe reversal). This situation is distinct from cancellation at the client's request or from non-attendance.
The appointment may also be cancelled at any time by the lawyer on objective grounds (e.g. incompatibility, a conflict of interest arising subsequently, objective impossibility of attending). In such a situation, the lawyer shall inform the client as soon as possible and the fee paid shall be refunded in full, or a rescheduling shall be agreed, at the client's choice.
Where the client does not attend the scheduled meeting and does not give notice of, or cancel, the appointment in advance in accordance with the conditions set out above, the fee paid shall not be refunded. The lawyer may, at his discretion and depending on the circumstances, offer a rescheduling.
Termination of the legal assistance contract (after its conclusion) is effected in accordance with the legal and statutory provisions, the notice being communicated to the other party in writing (preferably by e-mail or registered letter).
Ciprian Pozderie-Semeniuc - Law Office carries out its activity in strict compliance with all the principles of professional ethics and deontology laid down by Law no. 51/1995, the Statute of the Profession of Lawyer and the Code of Ethics of the Romanian Lawyer.
The practice of the profession of lawyer is subject to the following fundamental principles:
a) the principle of legality; b) the principle of freedom; c) the principle of independence; d) the principle of autonomy and decentralisation; e) the principle of preservation of professional secrecy.
The purpose of the practice of the profession of lawyer is the promotion and defence of the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of natural and legal persons, whether governed by public or by private law.
The relationship between the lawyer and his clients is based on honesty, probity, fairness, sincerity, loyalty and confidentiality.
In counselling activities the lawyer shall act with tact and patience in order to set out and explain to the client all aspects of the matter in which he assists and/or represents him. The lawyer shall seek to use the most appropriate language having regard to the client's condition and experience, so that the client obtains a correct and complete understanding of his legal situation.
The lawyer shall consult adequately with the client in order to establish the purpose, the methods and the objective of the counselling, as well as the technical solutions which he will pursue in order to achieve, where appropriate, the assistance and representation of the client.
Counselling and representing a client obliges the lawyer to consider the matter from his own perspective and to give the client disinterested advice. Advising the client is not confined to setting out legal provisions, but shall also take into account the moral, economic, social and political consequences which may be relevant in the situation concerned.
Whenever the client proposes a course of action which the lawyer considers will have adverse legal consequences, the lawyer shall warn the client of those consequences or, as the case may be, may terminate the legal assistance contract.
The lawyer is bound to advise his client promptly, conscientiously, correctly and diligently. The probity, the sense of justice and the honesty of the lawyer are conditions of the credibility of the lawyer and of the profession.
The lawyer is bound to give the client legal advice in accordance with the law and to act only within the limits of the law, of the statute and of the code of ethics, in accordance with his professional conviction.
The lawyer shall give the client an honest legal opinion as to the factual and legal consequences of the matter under consideration, within the limits of the information provided by the client.
The use by the client of the lawyer's opinions and advice for unlawful purposes, without the knowledge of the lawyer who gave that opinion or advice, does not render the lawyer responsible for the client's unlawful conduct and purposes. The lawyer is bound to refrain from knowingly assisting and advising a client in criminal activities.
Ciprian Pozderie-Semeniuc - Law Office carries out its activity in absolute compliance with the principles of confidentiality and professional secrecy governed by Law no. 51/1995, the Statute of the Profession of Lawyer and the Code of Ethics of the Lawyer.
Confidentiality and professional secrecy guarantee trust in the lawyer and constitute fundamental obligations of the lawyer.
Any professional communication or correspondence between lawyers, between a lawyer and a client, or between a lawyer and the bodies of the profession, in whatever form it was made, is confidential.
Correspondence and information transmitted between lawyers or between a lawyer and a client, whatever the medium, may not in any circumstances be adduced as evidence in court, nor may they be deprived of their confidential character.
The legal assistance contract may not be disclosed to third parties save with the express consent of the parties, its clauses being confidential.
Professional secrecy is a matter of public order. The lawyer is bound to preserve professional secrecy in relation to any aspect of the matter entrusted to him.
The lawyer may not be compelled in any circumstances and by any person to disclose professional secrecy. The lawyer may not be released from professional secrecy either by his client or by any other authority or person. An exception is made, however, for cases in which the lawyer is subject to criminal or disciplinary proceedings, or where there is a dispute concerning the fees agreed, exclusively for the strict requirements of his defence.
The obligation to preserve professional secrecy is absolute and unlimited in time. The obligation extends to all activities of the lawyer, of his associates, of collaborating lawyers and of salaried lawyers within the form of practice, including relations with other lawyers.
The obligation to preserve professional secrecy also applies to persons with whom the lawyer works in the practice of the profession, as well as to his employees. The lawyer is bound to bring this obligation to their attention.
The obligation to preserve professional secrecy applies to all bodies of the profession of lawyer and to their employees in relation to information which comes to their knowledge in the exercise of their functions and duties.
The professional headquarters and the other premises in which the lawyer carries out his professional activity must ensure the preservation of professional secrecy.
Professional secrecy covers all information and data of any kind, in any form and on any medium, provided to the lawyer by the client for the purpose of providing legal assistance and in relation to which the client has requested confidentiality, as well as any documents drafted by the lawyer which contain, or are based upon, the information or data provided by the client for the purpose of providing legal assistance and whose confidentiality has been requested by the client.
For the purpose of ensuring professional secrecy, the lawyer keeps case materials only at the professional headquarters or in premises approved for that purpose by the bar council. The professional headquarters may also be situated in the lawyer's home.
Professional acts and documents are inviolable. In order to ensure professional secrecy, the lawyer is under an obligation to object to the search of his home, of his principal and secondary professional headquarters and of his working office, as well as to a body search, in relation to professional acts or documents located in the aforementioned places or on his person. The lawyer is under an obligation to inform the dean of the bar forthwith of what has occurred.
The search of the lawyer, of his home or of his office, or the seizure of documents and goods, may be carried out only by a public prosecutor, on the basis of a warrant issued under the conditions laid down by law.
The following are exempt from the measure of seizure of documents and from the measure of confiscation:
a) documents containing communications between the lawyer and his client; b) documents containing notes made by the lawyer in relation to matters concerning the defence of a client.
The lawyer's telephone conversations may not be listened to and recorded by any technical means, nor may his professional correspondence be intercepted and recorded, save under the conditions and in accordance with the procedure laid down by law.
The relationship between the lawyer and the person whom he assists or represents may not be the subject of technical surveillance unless there is evidence that the lawyer is committing or preparing to commit one of the offences provided for in Art. 139 para. (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. If, during or after the execution of the measure, it emerges that the technical surveillance activities also concerned the relationship between the lawyer and the suspect or defendant whom he defends, the evidence obtained may not be used in any criminal proceedings and shall be destroyed forthwith by the public prosecutor. The judge who ordered the measure is informed forthwith by the public prosecutor. The judge orders that the lawyer be informed.
