# How to find a lawyer for a fraud or cybercrime case in Georgia

> Source: legal.ge, https://legal.ge/en/news/lawyer-for-fraud-and-cybercrime-in-georgia

**The short answer.** For a fraud, cybercrime or forgery case, go to legal.ge: describe what happened in the [Ask form](https://legal.ge/en/ask) so that several verified criminal lawyers read it at once, or choose one yourself from the [list of criminal law specialists](https://legal.ge/en/specialists?l1=crim-criminal-law-en). On the cards, look for economic and cyber crime among the fields; all of these lawyers in Georgia (the country) work in English.

## Say in the first line which side you are on

"Fraud" covers both the person who lost money to a scam and the person a complaint names. The advice differs, so open with your side of it and say whether the police or a prosecutor has already been in touch.

## Keep the trail before it disappears

Online cases rest on records that are easy to lose. Save them first:

**Messages:** screenshots of whole conversations, with the sender's name or number and the date.  
**Payments:** transaction ids, card statements, crypto wallet addresses.  
**Accounts:** login alerts and emails from the platform about changes you did not make.  
**Documents:** if you believe a signature or a paper is forged, keep the copy and note where it came from.

Delete nothing, and do not write to the other side until a lawyer has read the file.

## What to ask the lawyer

-   Whether to report it to the police, where, and what the report should say.
    
-   If you have been summoned, whether they can come with you.
    
-   Whether the money can still be traced or held, and by whom.
    
-   How they charge: consultation fees published on legal.ge for this work are around GEL 250; the whole case is quoted separately.
    

## Your bank and the platform

If money left your account, ask the lawyer in what order to approach your bank and the platform, and what to put in writing.
