Cybercrime lawyer in Georgia

Cybercrime covers unauthorised access to computer systems, unlawful use or damage of data, and the use of tools designed for such acts. Traditional crimes — fraud, extortion, threats and invasion of privacy — are also increasingly committed online.

In these cases, digital evidence decides everything — phones, computers, accounts and transactions. That's why a lawyer should be involved as early as possible: for victims, to preserve the evidence; for the accused, to check whether the digital evidence was obtained lawfully.

When you need a cybercrime lawyer

• You were defrauded online and lost money
• Your account, email or social media was hacked
• You're being threatened or blackmailed with private photos or information
• Someone created a fake profile or acts in your name
• You've been summoned for questioning in a cybercrime case
• Your phone or computer was seized and you don't know what happens next

If you are a victim

1. Don't delete anything — save messages, links, transactions and dated screenshots.
2. Contact your bank immediately if money was taken or you shared card details.
3. Change your passwords and turn on two-factor authentication.
4. If you're being blackmailed, don't pay and stop communicating with the offender.
5. Contact a lawyer — they'll prepare the complaint to the police and protect your interests throughout.

If you are accused

• Don't give statements without a lawyer — you have the right to remain silent
• Talk to your lawyer before giving out device passwords
• Your lawyer checks whether the digital evidence was obtained lawfully
• If needed, the defense brings in an independent expert

Mistakes to avoid

• Deleting messages and evidence
• Paying a blackmailer
• Trusting unknown "money recovery" services
• Sharing case details on social media
• Signing a device seizure record without reading it
