Criminal defence and victim guidance for minors, parents and guardians under Georgia's specialised juvenile-justice framework.

A child is accused, questioned, harmed or drawn into an investigation and age-specific safeguards, family involvement, education, welfare and diversion may affect every procedural step. 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.

Our organising principles

01

Confirm age, status and mandatory procedural safeguards

02

Protect the child's understanding, privacy and developmental needs

03

Assess diversion and restorative options where legally available

04

Coordinate defence, family, school and safeguarding issues

No automatic classification

Article references are not predictions of guilt or final legal advice. Investigators may open a case under one provision and prosecutors, defence counsel or the court may later support a different classification. Always verify the current Georgian text, the relevant article part and the complete case file.
