- adjudging the verdict «not guilty» and full rehabilitation of the client;
- charging a conditional punishment (which it is not executed if the condemned does not make new offences during the trial period);
- charging a softer punishment, than it is stipulated for this crime by the law (below the lowest limit);
- charging a softer punishment, than demanded by the accusation;
- reduction of the accusation ( justification in particular episodes of the criminal activity);
- relieving from the criminal liability on bases of an amnesty, pardon, illness or on other bases stipulated by the law;

Note that Russian Federation provides free-of-charge state lawyers to the foreign citizens who are a subject of a criminal prosecution and do not speak Russian. However, such lawyers are not usually interested in real protection of client’s interest because their fee does not depend on result of their work. They do not want to spoil relations with the bodies of criminal accusation also . Therefore it is preferable to invite an independent lawyer from the very beginning of a criminal investigation. Nevertheless, according to the Russian law an independent lawyer can enter a criminal case at any stage and work alongside with a state lawyer or any amount of other independent lawyers.
