# How to find a lawyer for a court case in Georgia

> Source: legal.ge, https://legal.ge/en/news/lawyer-for-a-court-case-in-georgia

**The short answer.** Use legal.ge: describe the case and where it stands in the [Ask form](https://legal.ge/en/ask) so that several verified lawyers see it at once, or pick one yourself from the [list of dispute resolution and litigation specialists](https://legal.ge/en/specialists?l1=dispute-resolution-and-litigation-en). All of them work in English and most also in Russian; they take disputes to court in Georgia (the country) and handle appeals against decisions.

## Where is your case?

A lawyer first needs the stage, because the work changes with it:

-   Before court: a written demand, a settlement or mediation may still end the dispute. Ask whether it is worth trying.
    
-   Under way: a claim has been filed and hearings are set. Send the lawyer the claim, the other side's response and the date of the next hearing.
    
-   Decided: you have a judgment and want to challenge it or have it enforced. Tell the lawyer the exact day you received it; they will tell you how much time is left.
    

## Put the file in order

A court case is made of paper. Scan the documents in date order, name each file by its date, and add one paragraph on what you want the court to decide. A lawyer who can read the file in ten minutes can give you a concrete answer at the first consultation.

## What to ask before you hire

-   Who will attend the hearings, and in which city the court sits.
    
-   How the fee works: by stage, by hearing or as a fixed sum. Consultation fees in this field on legal.ge run from GEL 100 to GEL 250.
    
-   Which court costs you may have to pay, and what the costs could be if the case goes against you.
    
-   How they will keep you informed between hearings.
