Navigating the complexities of the Georgian criminal justice system requires skilled and knowledgeable legal representation. Being the subject of a criminal investigation or facing formal charges can have profound consequences for your reputation, freedom, and future. Our firm provides robust legal defense for individuals and corporate clients across a wide spectrum of criminal allegations. We are committed to protecting your rights at every stage of the process, from the initial investigation through to trial and, if necessary, appeal. Our approach is founded on a meticulous examination of the evidence, strategic case development, and a steadfast dedication to achieving the most favorable outcome for our clients.
Our practice extends to the specialized area of white-collar crime, which encompasses a range of non-violent, financially motivated offenses. We defend clients against allegations of fraud, embezzlement, tax evasion, and money laundering. In Georgia, these offenses are treated with significant severity, often leading to complex investigations and severe penalties. This includes defending corporations and their executives against charges of financial misconduct. We also offer proactive counsel by developing compliance programs and conducting internal investigations to help businesses mitigate legal risks before they escalate into government actions.
A significant focus of our work involves defending against corruption, bribery, and offenses against public integrity. Under the Criminal Code of Georgia, bribery and abuse of official authority are serious crimes with penalties that can include lengthy imprisonment. We represent public officials and private citizens alike who are accused of such offenses. Furthermore, our expertise covers the growing field of cybercrime, defending clients against charges under the Georgia Computer Systems Protection Act, such as unauthorized data access and computer forgery. We also manage cases involving securities and financial services fraud, which often require navigating parallel investigations by various state and federal regulatory bodies.
The moments following an accusation but before formal charges are filed represent a critical window for legal defense. Our pre-trial defense services are designed to engage with investigators and prosecutors at the earliest stage. This proactive approach can sometimes lead to charges being dropped or significantly reduced. We also skillfully handle plea bargaining negotiations, which resolve the majority of criminal cases in Georgia, to secure reduced charges or penalties for our clients. For those already convicted, our firm offers services in criminal appeals and post-conviction relief, seeking to overturn convictions or reduce sentences through meticulous legal argument before Georgia's appellate courts.
