Criminal defence, corporate response and victim representation for hacking, account takeover, online fraud, digital extortion and unlawful use or disclosure of private communications in Georgia.

A phone, account, wallet, mailbox or database is accessed or used without authority while attribution, consent, control, intent, loss and the reliability of digital traces are disputed. The correct legal route depends on the documents, the participant's procedural status, the investigating authority and the current stage—not simply the label attached to the accusation.
