At Legal Sandbox Georgia, we recognize that for victims of property crimes, "justice" isn't served until your financial loss is restored. The police focus on punishment; we focus on restitution. We represent individuals and businesses in criminal proceedings to ensure the prosecution prioritizes the recovery of your assets.
1. Theft, Robbery & Armed Robbery (Articles 177, 178, 179)
Whether you are a victim of Burglary (Art. 177) or a violent Armed Robbery (Art. 179), the immediate priority is valuation and tracing. We work with independent appraisers to establish the true market value of stolen goods, ensuring the charges reflect the "large amount" or "significant damage" aggravating factors. We file civil claims within the criminal trial to seize the perpetrator's assets immediately, preventing them from hiding funds before a judgment is rendered.
2. Fraud & Embezzlement Recovery (Articles 180, 182)
Victims of Fraud (Art. 180) often face police apathy, with investigators dismissing scams as "civil disputes." We change that narrative. We compile forensic financial evidence to prove criminal intent (deceit), forcing the police to open a case. For businesses suffering from Embezzlement (Art. 182) by employees or partners, we conduct internal audits to trace misappropriated funds and hold the embezzler criminally and financially liable.
3. Extortion & Blackmail Advocacy (Article 181)
Extortion (Art. 181) is a crime of psychological terror. If you are being blackmailed—whether for money or property rights—we provide immediate legal shielding. We work confidentially with law enforcement to set up "controlled drops" or digital tracing to catch the extortionist while protecting your reputation and privacy. We ensure that the threat of leaking compromising information is neutralized through court orders.
4. Property Damage & Vandalism (Article 187)
When your property is intentionally destroyed (Art. 187), from arson to vehicle vandalism, we ensure the damage assessment includes not just repair costs but also diminished value and lost operational time. We pursue full compensation from the perpetrator.
