Tornike Chikovani

Tornike Chikovani is a member of the Georgian Bar Association, a criminal defense attorney in Tbilisi, Georgia, and the founder and managing partner of Chikovani Law Office. He has been practicing criminal law since 2018 and represents clients at all stages of the criminal process, from arrest, investigation, indictment, preventive measures, trial, plea bargaining, appeal and cassation proceedings.

His practice includes drug, financial and economic crimes, fraud, white-collar crime cases, violent and property crimes, as well as juvenile justice. Tornike Chikovani represents both Georgian and foreign clients and works on criminal cases with an international element, including extradition and INTERPOL-related issues.

My professional philosophy is based on protecting the client's interests, individual strategy, professional responsibility and result-oriented work. As a criminal lawyer in Tbilisi, I consider each case individually, analyzing in detail the case materials, evidence, legal risks and all possible defense mechanisms.

For me, effective criminal defense does not mean only responding to the prosecution's position. The lawyer's task is to independently assess the circumstances of the case, determine the strengths and weaknesses of the defense and create a legal strategy that meets the interests of a specific client and the real prospects of the case.

At Chikovani Law Office our approach is based on confidentiality, direct communication with the client and informing him at all stages of the process. Whether it is an arrest, investigation, trial or a criminal case with an international element in Georgia, my principle is that the client should know exactly the current legal situation, possible risks and defense strategy.

For me, the main professional value of a lawyer is trust and reputation. That is why the goal in each case is not only to provide legal services, but also to protect the client's rights and legitimate interests in Georgia as effectively as possible.
